To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 15.1 Mechanical Waves. Waves on a string are described by the following general equation y(x, t)=Acos(kx−ωt). A transverse wave on a string is traveling in the +x direction with a wave speed of 8.25 m/s , an amplitude of 5.50×10−2 m , and a wavelength of 0.540 m . At time t=0, the x=0 end of the string has its maximum upward displacement. Find the transverse displacement y of a particle at x = 1.51 m and t = 0.150 s .

The transverse displacement is      

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

     The generally equation for the mechanical wave is

     The speed of the transverse wave is

     The amplitude of the transverse wave is

     The wavelength of the transverse wave is

      At t= 0.150s , x = 1.51 m

 The angular frequency of the wave is mathematically represented as

Substituting values  

The propagation constant k is mathematically represented as

Substituting values

Substituting values into the equation for mechanical waves

from 1609, galileo galilei used the recently invented telescope to observe the sun, moon and planets. he saw the mountains and craters of the moon, and for the first time revealed the planets to be worlds in their own right. galileo also provided strong observational evidence that planets orbited the sun.

his discoveries about the moon, jupiter's moons, venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the sun - not the earth - was the center of the universe, as was commonly believed at the time.galileo turned his gaze toward venus, the brightest celestial object in the sky - other than the sun and the moon.
