Question

112. Calc A transverse wave propagates according to The following (SI units): y (x,t) = 0.1 sin(1.25x - 3.5t) (a) Calculate the value of y when x = 1 m and t 2 s. (b) If x = 3 m, at what time(s) does y = 0.08 m? (c) What is the maximum value of the transverse velocity of a point on the wave? (d) What is the maximum value of the transverse acceleration of a point on the wave? (e) What s the value of the transverse velocity when x = 2 rn and t = 4 s? (f) What is the value of the transverse acceleration when x = 2 m and t = 4 s?

Explanation / Answer

a) y = 0.1*sin(1.25*1 - 3.5*2)= 0.0508 m

b)

0.08 = 0.1*sin(1.25*3 - 3.5*t)

1.25*3 - 3.5*t = arcsin(0.08/0.1)

t = (1.25*3 - arcsin(0.08/0.1))/3.5 = 0.806 s

c)

dy/dt = 0.1*-3.5*cos(1.25*x - 3.5*t)

dy/dt = -0.35*cos(1.25*x - 3.5*t)

max speed = 0.35 m/s

d)

dv/dt = 0.1*3.5^2*-sin(1.25*x - 3.5*t)

max a = 1.225 m/s^2

e)

v = -0.35*cos(1.25*2 - 3.5*4)=-0.169

f)

a = 0.1*3.5^2*-sin(1.25*2 - 3.5*4)= -1.07
