NeX [460]

Answer:

The transverse displacement is $y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The generally equation for the mechanical wave is

$y(x,t) = Acos (kx -wt)$

The speed of the transverse wave is $v = 8.25 \ m/s$

The amplitude of the transverse wave is $A = 5.50 *10^{-2} m$

The wavelength of the transverse wave is $\lambda = 0540 m$

At t= 0.150s , x = 1.51 m

The angular frequency of the wave is mathematically represented as

$w = vk$

Substituting values

$w = 8.25 * 11.64$

$w = 96.03 \ rad/s$

The propagation constant k is mathematically represented as

$k = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}$

Substituting values

$k = \frac{2 * 3.142}{0. 540}$

$k =11.64 m^{-1}$

Substituting values into the equation for mechanical waves

$y(1.51 , 0.150) = (5.50*10^{-2} ) cos ((11.64 * 1.151 ) - (96.03 * 0.150))$

$y(1.51 , 0.150) = 0.055 m$

A regular atom has a net charge of _____

Doss [256]

An atom is defined as having the same number of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge). This means that it will have the same amount of negative and positive charge, giving it a net zero charge. On the other hand, an ion has different amount of electrons and protons.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The answer is letter b. All of these should be considered when deciding on a report format.

Explanation:

A Professional Report is a type of formal document about a topic or information that is intended for a specific audience or purpose. The report's style of writing needs a lot of knowledge from the writer. Oftentimes, it involves the following important elements: <em>Title, Summary, Body, Discussion, Conclusion and Recommendation. </em>

The writer should write according to his target audience and purpose. He also needs to consider the length of his report, as well as the suitable words and sentences that he should use.

Thus, all of the choices are important in writing a professional report. So, the answer is letter b.

When the displacement of a mass on a spring is 12 a the half of the amplitude, what fraction of the mechanical energy is kinetic

Sveta_85 [38]

You know that when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (A), the velocity is zero, which implies that the kinetic energy (KE) is zeero, so the total mechanical energy (ME) is the potential energy (PE).

And you know that the potential energy, PE, is [ 1/2 ] k (x^2)

Then, use x = A, to calculate the PE in the point where ME = PE.

ME = PE = [1/2] k (A)^2.

At half of the amplitude, x = A/2 => PE = [ 1/2] k (A/2)^2

=> PE = [1/4] { [1/2]k(A)^2 } = .[1/4] ME

So, if PE is 1/4 of ME, KE is 3/4 of ME.

And the answer is 3/4
