AI Thread Summary
Two vibrating sources in the same medium emit waves at frequencies of 25 Hz and 75 Hz, with the first source producing waves that reflect off a barrier at a 25-degree angle. The speed of the reflected waves from the first source can be calculated using the wavelength of 6.9 m, while the speed of the waves from the second source in the original medium needs to be determined based on the observed speed of 96 m/s in the different medium. The angle of refraction for the second source's waves will be less than 35 degrees upon entering the different medium. Additionally, the wavelengths for the second source in both the original and different mediums require calculation. The constant k's units relate to wave properties and indicate the medium's characteristics affecting wave behavior.

two vibrating sources emit waves in the same elastic medium. the first source has a frequency of 25 hz, while the frequency of the second source is 75hz. waves from the first source have a wavelength of 6.9 m. they reflect from a barrier back into the original medium, with an angle of relfection of 25 degrees. waves from the second source refreact into a different medium with an angle of incidence of 35 degrees. the speed of the refracted waves is observed to be 96 m/s.

wat is the speed of the waves from the second source in the original medium?

wat is the is trhe speed of the reflected waves from the first source in the orignal medium?

Will the angle of the refraction of the waves from the second source be greater than, less than, or equal to 35 degree as they enter the different medium?

wat is the wavelength of the waves from the second source in the orignal medium?

wat is the wavelength of the waves from the second source in the different medium?

ALSO i want to know wat the constant k's units are and wat does this constant tell me?

yes but my title was retraction/refraction so i don't think ppl knew wat it was so they left...so i had to restate a proper title soryy thoo ur right
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
