What is Transverse: Definition and 308 Discussions
Transverse myelitis (TM) is a rare neurological condition in which the spinal cord is inflamed. Transverse implies that the inflammation extends horizontally across the spinal cord. Partial transverse myelitis and partial myelitis are terms sometimes used to specify inflammation that only affects part of the width of the spinal cord. TM is characterized by weakness and numbness of the limbs, deficits in sensation and motor skills, dysfunctional urethral and anal sphincter activities, and dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system that can lead to episodes of high blood pressure. Signs and symptoms vary according to the affected level of the spinal cord. The underlying cause of TM is unknown. The spinal cord inflammation seen in TM has been associated with various infections, immune system disorders, or damage to nerve fibers, by loss of myelin. As opposed to leukomyelitis which affects only the white matter, it affects the entire cross-section of the spinal cord. Decreased electrical conductivity in the nervous system can result.
Prof gave us this equation and question:
The equation of a transverse wave traveling in a rope is:
y=10sin*pi(0.01x-2.00t)
He said that x and y are expressed in cm, and time in seconds.
We are to:
A. find the amplitude, frequency(Hz), velocity(cm) and wavelength(cm) of the wave.
B...
I saw in a chapter on special relativity a derivation of the transverse Doppler effect, which seemed okay, but I have a question concerning this:
If the motion of a source is always perpendicular to the position vector connecting the observer to the moving source (i.e. the distance remains...
The transverse displacement of an harmonic wave on a stretched rope is y = 0.04 cos(2.5 t - 3.3 x), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. A 5 meter length of this rope has a mass of 1.5 kg.
a) What is the tension in the rope?
b) At time t = 0, consider a 1/2 wavelength long...
The diagram represents a snapshot of a standing transverse wave on a flexible string taken when the displacement is at a maximum. The string is 1.34 m long with tension 6 N. The total mass of the string is 12.22 g. Find the period of the oscillation.
The diagram is unlabeled. it just shows...
Here's my question (parts a-c are correct, but I need help with d and e):
Transverse waves on a string have a wave speed 8 m/s, amplitude .09 m, and a wavelength .38 m. The waves travel in the -x direction, and at t=0 the x=0 end of the string has zero displacement and is moving in the +y...
I don't recall what thread it was in but there was a comment that F = ma for a relativistic mass. I stated it was incorrect but did not provide a proof since it was a bit involved and too mathy for latex so instead of doing the latex out I made a new web page. For the derivation of the correct...
The transverse displacement of a harmonic wave on a stretched rope is y = 0.03 cos(2.7 t - 2.9 x), where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. A 5 meter length of this rope has a mass of 1.5 kg.

The cyclotron forumla is derived here
See -www.geocities.com/physics_world/cyclotron.htm
That's a lot of work for something so simple. Recall that the relativistic force can be written as
equation. Recall that
F = M_t A_t + A_L M_L
where
M_t = transverse mass
A_t = transverse...
