    How Do You Calculate Displacement in a Standing Wave Problem?

    Hi I tried the problem again and I hope someone could please check over my work. Thank You! The equation for a standing wave: \displaystyle y(x,t)=[2y_m\sin(kx)]\cos(\omega t) Since \frac{1}{2}\lambda=L\Leftrightarrow \lambda =2L Thus, k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}=\frac{2\pi}{2 L}=\frac{\pi}{L}...

    Calculate Distance between A & B: Sound Intensity Problem

    Hi Hootenanny, thank you for the reference! I think I got it now. Let x be the distance of \overline{AB} Calculate the intensities: \displaystyle 50.0dB=10\log\left (\frac{I_1}{10^{-12}}\right ) \displaystyle\Leftrightarrow 10^5=\frac{I_1}{10^-12} \displaystyle\Leftrightarrow 10^{-7}=I_1...

    Hi, thank you for the help OlderDan. Then I suppose for part d), once I've found the frictional force on the yo-yo, I can use the relationship, F_f=\mu F_N, where F_N=F_g (the total weight of the yo-yo)?

    Homework Help: Solving Rotation Problems | Physics Forum Tutors

    Hi, I read a whole chapter in the textbook on rotation and angular motion. Then I tried to apply those concepts by solving problems, but I can't seem to solve the part B questions. The part A ones which were primarily subbing into the formula, I could solve, but these I am having a lot of...

    Ionic Radius: Ordering Cl-, Be2+, Li+, F-, H-

    I have read the trend and I think the answer should be Cl-, H-, F-, Li+, Be2+. However, I am not sure about this, because of the hydride. I heard that there is some controversy as what is the actual ionic radius. I just wanted to see if anyone here came up with the same order. However...
