What kinds of energy are associated with waves on a stretched string? How could you detect such energy experimentally?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The types of energy that are associated with waves on a stretched string are the kinetic energy of the moving string and the elastic potential energy of the string.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

Stretched string

02

Concept

The addition of kinetic energy and potential energy of an object is defined as the mechanical energy.

03

Determine how high the other ball will go after the collision

  • When a stretched string is displaced from its equilibrium, it will have two kinds of energy. One is the kinetic energy due to the motion of the string and the other is the elastic potential energy of the string.
  • The detection of the kinetic energy of the string is done using an object or measuring device attached to the end of the string. The amplitude and frequency of the vibrations can be measured to compute the energy associated with the string.
  • Hence, the types of energy that are associated with waves on a stretched string are the kinetic energy of the moving string and the elastic potential energy of the string. Attaching an object or measuring device to the end of the string can be used to detect this energy.

An ant with mass \(m\) is standing peacefully on top of a horizontal, stretched rope. The rope has mass per unit length \(\mu \) and is under tension \(F\).Without warning, Cousin Throckmorton starts a sinusoidal transverse wave of wave-length \(\lambda \) propagating along the rope. The motion of the rope is in a vertical plane. What minimum wave amplitude will make the ant become momentarily weightless? Assume that \(m\) is so small that the presence of the ant has no effect on the propagation of the wave.

Two train whistles, A and B, each have a frequency of 393Hz. A is stationary and B is moving toward the right (away from A) at a speed of 35m/s. A listener is between the two whistles and is moving toward the right with a speed of 15m/s. No wind is blowing. (a) What is the frequency from A as heard by the listener? (b) What is the frequency from B as heard by the listener? (c) What is the beat frequency detected by the listener?

You blow across the open mouth of an empty test tube and produce the fundamental standing wave of the air column inside the test tube. The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s and the test tube act as a stopped pipe. (a) If the length of the air column in the test tube is 14.0 cm, what is the frequency of this standing wave? (b) What is the frequency of the fundamental standing wave in the air column if the test tube is half filled with water?

Consider a sound wave in air that has displacement amplitude 0.0200 mm. Calculate the pressure amplitude for frequencies of (a) 150 Hz; (b) 1500 Hz; (c) 15,000 Hz. In each case compare the result to the pain threshold, which is 30 Pa.

Question:A 60.0-m-long brass rod is struck at one end. A person at the other end hears two sounds as a result of two longitudinal waves, one traveling in the metal rod and the other traveling in air. What is the time interval between the two sounds? (The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s; see Tables 11.1 and 12.1 for relevant information about brass.)
