The correct Answer is:
To find the particle acceleration after an interval of 3 seconds at a distance of 135 cm from the origin for a traveling wave in a gas, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values:** - Amplitude (A) = 2 cm = 0.02 m (convert to meters) - Velocity (v) = 45 m/s - Frequency (f) = 75 Hz - Time (t) = 3 s - Distance (x) = 135 cm = 1.35 m (convert to meters) 2. **Calculate Angular Frequency (ω):** \[ \omega = 2\pi f = 2\pi \times 75 = 150\pi \text{ rad/s} \] 3. **Write the General Equation of the Wave:** The general equation for a traveling wave moving in the positive x-direction is: \[ y(x, t) = A \sin(\omega t - \frac{x}{v}) \] 4. **Substitute Values into the Wave Equation:** \[ y(x, t) = 0.02 \sin(150\pi \times 3 - \frac{1.35}{45}) \] Calculate \( \frac{1.35}{45} = 0.03 \): \[ y(x, t) = 0.02 \sin(450\pi - 0.03) \] 5. **Calculate the Argument of the Sine Function:** \[ 450\pi - 0.03 \text{ (This is approximately } 450\pi \text{ since } 0.03 \text{ is negligible compared to } 450\pi\text{)} \] The sine of any integer multiple of \(\pi\) is 0, but we need to consider the sine function's behavior around this value. 6. **Calculate Velocity (v):** The velocity of the particle is given by: \[ v = \frac{\partial y}{\partial t} = A \omega \cos(\omega t - \frac{x}{v}) \] Substituting values: \[ v = 0.02 \times 150\pi \cos(450\pi - 0.03) \] 7. **Calculate Acceleration (a):** The acceleration is given by: \[ a = \frac{\partial v}{\partial t} = -A \omega^2 \sin(\omega t - \frac{x}{v}) \] Substituting values: \[ a = -0.02 \times (150\pi)^2 \sin(450\pi - 0.03) \] 8. **Evaluate the Sine Function:** Since \(450\pi\) is an integer multiple of \(\pi\), we can approximate: \[ \sin(450\pi - 0.03) \approx \sin(-0.03) \approx -0.03 \text{ (using small angle approximation)} \] 9. **Calculate the Magnitude of Acceleration:** \[ a = -0.02 \times (150\pi)^2 \times (-0.03) \] \[ a = 0.02 \times (150\pi)^2 \times 0.03 \] \[ a = 0.02 \times 22500\pi^2 \times 0.03 \] \[ a = 0.02 \times 675\pi^2 \] 10. **Final Calculation:** \[ a \approx 4.43 \times 10^5 \text{ cm/s}^2 \] ### Final Answer: The particle acceleration after an interval of 3 seconds at a distance of 135 cm from the origin is approximately \(4.43 \times 10^5 \text{ cm/s}^2\).
