Answer to Problem 5P

The value of the sum of two wave functions y1+y2 at given points is 1.647cm .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:The first wave function is 3.0cos(4.0x1.6t) , the second wave function is 4.0sin(5.0x2.0t) , the position of the element is 1cm and time of the wave function is 1s .

The sum of two wave functions is,

y=y1+y2

  • y is the sum of the two wave functions.
  • y1 is the first wave function.
  • y2 is second wave function.

Substitute 3.0cos(4.0x1.6t) for y1 and 4.0sin(5.0x2.0t) .

y=3.0cos(4.0x1.6t)+4.0sin(5.0x2.0t)

Substitute 1cm for x and 1s for t in above expression to find y .

y=3.0cos(4.0×1cm1.6×1s)+4.0sin(5.0×1cm2.0×1s)=1.647cm

Conclusion:

Therefore, the value of the sum of two wave functions y1+y2 at given points is 1.647cm .

Answer to Problem 5P

The value of the sum of two wave functions y1+y2 at given points is 6.022cm .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:The first wave function is 3.0cos(4.0x1.6t) , the second wave function is 4.0sin(5.0x2.0t) , the position of the element is 1cm and time of the wave function is 0.500s .

The sum of two wave functions is,

y=y1+y2

  • y is the sum of the two wave functions.
  • y1 is the first wave function.
  • y2 is second wave function.

Substitute 3.0cos(4.0x1.6t) for y1 and 4.0sin(5.0x2.0t) .

y=3.0cos(4.0x1.6t)+4.0sin(5.0x2.0t)

Substitute 1cm for x and 0.500s for t to find the y .

y=3.0cos(4.0×1cm1.6×0.500s)+4.0sin(5.0×1cm2.0×0.500s)=6.022cm

Conclusion:

Therefore, the value of the sum of two wave functions y1+y2 at given points is 6.022cm .

Answer to Problem 5P

The value of the sum of two wave functions y1+y2 at given points is 1.15cm .

Explanation of Solution

Given info:The first wave function is 3.0cos(4.0x1.6t) , the second wave function is 4.0sin(5.0x2.0t) , the position of the element is 0.500cm and time of the wave function is 0s .

The sum of two wave functions is,

y=y1+y2

  • y is the sum of the two wave functions.
  • y1 is the first wave function.
  • y2 is second wave function.

Substitute 3.0cos(4.0x1.6t) for y1 and 4.0sin(5.0x2.0t) ,

y=3.0cos(4.0x1.6t)+4.0sin(5.0x2.0t)

Substitute 0.500cm for x and 0s for t to find the y .

y=3.0cos(4.0×0.500cm1.6×0s)+4.0sin(5.0×0.500cm2.0×0s)=1.15cm

Conclusion:

Therefore, the value of the sum of two wave functions y1+y2 at given points is 1.15cm .

(a) A physics lab instructor is working on a new demonstration. She attaches two identical copper spheres with mass m = 0.180 g to cords of length L as shown in the figure. A Both spheres have the same charge of 6.80 nC, and are in static equilibrium when = 4.95°. What is L (in m)? Assume the cords are massless. 0.150 Draw a free-body diagram, apply Newton's second law for a particle in equilibrium to one of the spheres. Find an equation for the distance between the two spheres in terms of L and 0, and use this expression in your Coulomb force equation. m (b) What If? The charge on both spheres is increased until each cord makes an angle of 0 = 9.90° with the vertical. If both spheres have the same electric charge, what is the charge (in nC) on each sphere in this case? 13.6 ☑ Use the same reasoning as in part (a), only now, use the length found in part (a) and the new angle to solve for the charge. nC
