Frequency is measured in units of reciprocal time.
Period is measured in units of time.
Phase is a number without units that represents a fraction of a wave.
None of these is measured in meters, so none of them can be the answer.
It must be either amplitude or wavelength.
Amplitude is a quantity that's measured at one or two points in the same wave.
The question is talking about points on consecutive waves.
<em>Wavelength is</em> the only choice left. That must be it.
Answer:
A) 3.13 m/s
B) 5.34 N
C) W = 26.9 J
Explanation:
We are told that the position as a function of time is given by;
x(t) = αt² + βt³
Where;
α = 0.210 m/s² and β = 2.04×10^(−2) m/s³ = 0.0204 m/s³
Thus;
x(t) = 0.21t² + 0.0204t³
A) Velocity is gotten from the derivative of the displacement.
Thus;
v(t) = x'(t) = 2(0.21t) + 3(0.0204t²)
v(t) = 0.42t + 0.0612t²
v(4.5) = 0.42(4.5) + 0.0612(4.5)²
v(4.5) = 3.1293 m/s ≈ 3.13 m/s
B) acceleration is gotten from the derivative of the velocity
a(t) = v'(t) = 0.42 + 2(0.0612t)
a(4.5) = 0.42 + 2(0.0612 × 4.5)
a(4.5) = 0.9708 m/s²
Force = ma = 5.5 × 0.9708
F = 5.3394 N ≈ 5.34 N
C) Since no friction, work done is kinetic energy.
Thus;
W = ½mv²
W = ½ × 5.5 × 3.1293²
W = 26.9 J
A parallel circuit is sometimes called a current divider because current splits up among all the resistors in the parallel circuit. In addition, the current through the branches is inversely proportional to the resistance of the branch. If the resistance in each branch is kept constant but the voltage is decreased, the current will decrease.
