The transverse displacement $$y(x, t)$$ of a wave on a string is given by $$y\left( {x,t} \right) = {e^{ - \left( {a{x^2} + b{t^2} + 2\sqrt {ab} \,xt} \right)}}.$$ This represents $$a:$$

Two particles are executing simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude $$A$$ and frequency $$\omega $$ along the $$x$$-axis. Their mean position is separated by distance $${X_0}\left( {{X_0} > A} \right)$$. If the maximum separation between them is $$\left( {{X_0} + A} \right),$$ the phase difference between their motion is:

$$100g$$ of water is heated from $${30^ \circ }C$$ to $${50^ \circ }C$$. Ignoring the slight expansion of the water, the change in its internal energy is (specific heat of water is $$4184$$ $$J/kg/K$$):

Three perfect gases at absolute temperatures $${T_1},\,{T_2}$$ and $${T_3}$$ are mixed. The masses of molecules are $${m_1},{m_2}$$ and $${m_3}$$ and the number of molecules are $${n_1},$$ $${n_2}$$ and $${n_3}$$ respectively. Assuming no loss of energy, the final temperature of the mixture is:
