You can do d=st (s is speed and t is time) or you can use pythagorean theorem if the distance is or the two positions is a right angle.

A plane wave has equation; y= 25sin(120 _4x).find the: (1)wave length (2)wave velocity (3)frequency and period of the wave
kupik [55]

(1) The wavelength of the wave is 1.57 m.

(2) The velocity of the wave is 30 m/s .

(3) The frequency of the wave is 19.10 Hz and the time period of the    wave is 0.052 s.

Note: The given equation seems to be incomplete. Most probably the equation was y=25sin(120t-4x). And the standard system of units (i.e. kg, m, s) is used.

Wavelength: The distance between the consecutive crest or trough of a wave is called the wavelength of a wave.

The equation of a plane wave oscillating in the y direction and traveling in the x direction is given by the equation,

y=A sin(ωt-kx)

where y is the displacement along the y direction, A is the amplitude of the wave, ω is the angular frequency, t is the time, x is the displacement along the x direction, and k is the wave constant.

The given equation is,

y=25sin(120t-4x)

Comparing this equation with the above equation, following values are obtained.

k= 4 m^(-1)

ω =120 rad/s

A=25

The wavelength λ is given by the formula,

λ=2π/k

Here k = 4 m^(-1), so

λ=2π/4

λ=1.57 m.

Velocity: The velocity of a wave is the product of the frequency and the wavelength.

The velocity v is given by the formula,

v=ω*λ/2π

Here ω=120 rad/s and λ=1.57 m, so

v=120*1.57/2π

v=30 m/s

Frequency: The number of oscillations completed in one second is called the frequency of a wave.

The formula of the frequency is,

f=v/λ

Here v=30 m/s and λ=1.57 m, so

f=30/1.57

f=19.10 Hz

Time period: The time taken to complete one cycle of oscillation is called the time period of oscillation.

The formula to calculate the time period T is,

T=2π/ω

Here ω=120 rad/s, so

T=2π/120

T=0.052 s.

What type of power plant burns material to make electricity?
Alecsey [184]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: D. Coal

<h2>Why?</h2>

Coal power plants burn coal in to get steam, the steam flows into a turbine which is coupled to an electrical generator.

Coal power plants work burning high amounts of coal into a boiler, generation a lot of steam under extreme pressures. The steam is obtained when the water is heated by the burning coal, then the steam is cooled, being transformed in liquid water again (due the condensation process) and it's sent back on a cyclical process.

Have a nice day!

Given the information below, estimate the total distance travelled during these 6 seconds using a left endpoint approximation. t
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

184 feets

Explanation:

Given the data:

time (sec) __ velocity (ft/sec)

0 __________30

1 __________ 54

2 __________56

3 __________34

4 __________ 8

5 __________ 2

6 __________22

Using left end approximation:

(0,1) ___ f(0) = 30

(1,2) ___ f(1) = 54

(2,3) ___f(2) = 56

(3,4) ___f(3) = 34

(4,5) ___f(4) = 8

(5,6) __ f(5) = 2

Hence, the Total distance traveled during the 6 second interval is:

Change ; dT = 1

1 * (30 + 54 + 56 + 34 + 8 + 2) = 184
