The frequency of the 5 waves with a length of 4m hit the shore every 2 seconds is 2.5 Hz.

<h3>What is frequency?</h3>

This is the number of cycles completed by a wave in one second. The s.i

unit of frequency is Hert (Hz).

From the question, to calculate the frequency of 5 waves with length of 4 m that hit the shores every 2 seconds, we use the formula below.

Formula:

F = n/t........... Equation 1

Where:

n = Number of wave
F = Frequency
t = time

From the question,

Given:

n = 5 waves
t = 2 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = 5/2
F = 2.5 Hz.

Hence, The frequency of the wave is 2.5 Hz.

<h2>Potential energy lost by 10 N rock will be greater</h2>

Explanation:

Two rocks of 5N and 10N falls from the same height . Thus they will loose the potential energy.

The potential energy lost = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height

The potential energy lost by first 5 N rock = 5 h

Because weight of rock m g = 5 N

Similarly , the potential energy lost by 10 N Rock = 10 h

here weight of rock m g = 10 N

Thus comparing these two , the potential energy lost by 10 N rock is greater than that of 5 N rock .

When a 0.622 kg basketball hits the floor, its velocity changes from 4.23 m/s down to 3.85 m/s up. If the ball was in contact wi

SVEN [57.7K]

when the ball hits the floor and bounces back the momentum of the ball changes.

the rate of change of momentum is the force exerted by the floor on it.

the equation for the force exerted is

f = rate of change of momentum

$f = \frac{mv - mu}{t}$

v is the final velocity which is - 3.85 m/s

u is initial velocity - 4.23 m/s

m = 0.622 kg

time is the impact time of the ball in contact with the floor - 0.0266 s

substituting the values

$f = \frac{0.622 kg (3.85 m/s - (-)4.23 m/s)}{0.0266}$

since the ball is going down, we take that as negative and ball going upwards as positive.

f = 189 N

the force exerted from the floor is 189 N
