Okay thanks. that link helped a lot too I just wasn't picturing it properly. so the compression occurs at the displacement node following a max displacement and a rarefaction is at the node following a min. I was picturing the compression at the max displacement, not a quarter period after. it...
Thanks for your replies it has helped me to visualize the process. I'm still having trouble thinking of it as an ideal Gas process .
For example. during a compression does the temperature begin to rise,which provides kinetic energy to the particles. does this increase the mean free path...
So my question deals with open-open tubes. When there is a displacement antinode there is a pressure node. I can somewhat conceptualize this because of the boundary condition where the pressure at the ends needs to be atmospheric. But I am confused about the ideal gas laws relation to this...
I have a homework question and I am wondering if you can use Eulers identity in this case.
If the equation is f(x)=constant*e^(-x^2) can this be rewritten as f(x)=consant*e^(ix)^2
and then, can you use the identity when it is in this form?
Edit: Can it be put in the form cosx+isinx
I am not...
Yes rolling resistance.
For example:
at the start of rolling down an incline the total energy in the system is
mgy
for a block the final is:
1/2mv^2
for a sphere is:
1/2mv^2 + 1/2Iw^2
initial energy - final energy = thermal energy = work done by friction = mu*n*d
For the sphere my data showed...
If you were to calculate work done by rolling friction of a wood sphere rolling down an incline and compare it to work done by friction of a wood block sliding down an incline, are the values for the coefficient of rolling and kinetic friction somehow proportional to each other?
This is for a...
