Answer:

Not quite

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. That means that waves with a high frequency have a short wavelength, while waves with a low frequency have a longer wavelength

What determines the strength of a wave?

Wave height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch.

So,

As Wavelength increases, The energy of the wave spreads and it decreases

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

(a) g = 8.82158145 $m/s^2$ .

(b) 7699.990192m/s.

Explanation:

(a) Strength of gravitational field 'g' by definition is

$g = \frac{M_{(earth)} }{r^2} G$ , here G is Gravitational Constant, and r is distance from center of earth, all the values will remain same except r which will be radius of earth + altitude at which ISS is in orbit.

r = 6721,000 meters, putting this value in above equation gives g = 8.82158145 $m/s^2$ .

(b) We have to essentially calculate centripetal acceleration that equals new 'g'.

$a_{centripetal}=\frac{V^2}{r} =g$ here g is known, r is known and v is unknown.

plugging in r and g in above and solving for unknown gives V = 7699.990192m/s.

(c) S = vT, here T is time period or time required to complete one full revolution.

S = earth's circumfrence , V is calculated in (B) T is unknown.

solving for unknown gives T = 5484.3301s = 1.5234hours.
