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

masya89 [10]

Answer:

The decision designer is a step-wise process

Explanation:

A typical decision tree will be like this:

Are there any forces?

YES - then calculate the resultant forces NO - Then no calculations are needed

IF YES - Are the forces balanced? NO - Then no calculations

IF YES - Then calculations can be done.

Resolve the forces to find the resultant of the forces in the question.

A uniform rod of length L, mass M, is suspended by two thin strings. Which of the following statements is true

Fantom [35]

Answer:

(d) not enough info

Explanation:

because it doesn't specify where the strings are attached

if it was the two ends of the rod then T1 would be equal to T2

A magnetic field is uniform over a flat, horizontal circular region with a radius of 1.50 mm, and the field varies with time. In

atroni [7]

Answer:

The average induced emf around the border of the circular region is $8.48\times 10^{-5}\ V$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of circular region, r = 1.5 mm

Initial magnetic field, B = 0

Final magnetic field, B' = 1.5 T

The magnetic field is pointing upward when viewed from above, perpendicular to the circular plane in a time of 125 ms. We need to find the average induced emf around the border of the circular region. It is given by the rate of change of magnetic flux as :

$\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=A\dfrac{-d(B'-B)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\pi (1.5\times 10^{-3})^2\times \dfrac{1.5}{0.125}\\\\\epsilon=8.48\times 10^{-5}\ V$

So, the average induced emf around the border of the circular region is $8.48\times 10^{-5}\ V$ .

A 500-N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

W₂= 10000 N

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area (A2) of the piston:

Pressure is defined as the force (F) applied per unit area (A)

P=F/A (N/m²)

P1=P2

$\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }$

$F_{2} = \frac{F_{1}*A_{2} }{A_{1}}$ Equation (1)

Data

W₁ = weight sits on the small piston

F₁ = W₁= 500 N

A₁ = 2.0 cm²

A₂ = 40 cm²

Calculation of the weight (W₂) can the large piston support

We replace data in the equation (1)

$F_{2} = \frac{(500)*(40) }{2}$

F₂ = 10000 N

W₂= F₂= 10000 N
