(1) The wavelength of the wave is 1.57 m.

(2) The velocity of the wave is 30 m/s .

(3) The frequency of the wave is 19.10 Hz and the time period of the    wave is 0.052 s.

Note: The given equation seems to be incomplete. Most probably the equation was y=25sin(120t-4x). And the standard system of units (i.e. kg, m, s) is used.

Wavelength: The distance between the consecutive crest or trough of a wave is called the wavelength of a wave.

The equation of a plane wave oscillating in the y direction and traveling in the x direction is given by the equation,

y=A sin(ωt-kx)

where y is the displacement along the y direction, A is the amplitude of the wave, ω is the angular frequency, t is the time, x is the displacement along the x direction, and k is the wave constant.

The given equation is,

y=25sin(120t-4x)

Comparing this equation with the above equation, following values are obtained.

k= 4 m^(-1)

ω =120 rad/s

A=25

The wavelength λ is given by the formula,

λ=2π/k

Here k = 4 m^(-1), so

λ=2π/4

λ=1.57 m.

Velocity: The velocity of a wave is the product of the frequency and the wavelength.

The velocity v is given by the formula,

v=ω*λ/2π

Here ω=120 rad/s and λ=1.57 m, so

v=120*1.57/2π

v=30 m/s

Frequency: The number of oscillations completed in one second is called the frequency of a wave.

The formula of the frequency is,

f=v/λ

Here v=30 m/s and λ=1.57 m, so

f=30/1.57

f=19.10 Hz

Time period: The time taken to complete one cycle of oscillation is called the time period of oscillation.

The formula to calculate the time period T is,

T=2π/ω

Here ω=120 rad/s, so

T=2π/120

T=0.052 s.

Which of the following would decrease your carbon footprint?
salantis [7]
The third option seems correct. Using any bag more than once will help in decreasing the carbon foot print.

This isds beause, if you use paper bag once only, then paper bag is being utilised and more and more paper is being used. So the best way is to use the bag more than once, whichever bag u are using.

Astronomers have found water on mars.
vodomira [7]

The thin atmosphere of Mars is thought to be due to the planet's lack of a magnetic field, which has allowed the Solar wind to blow away much of the gas the planet once had. Venus, despite still having a thick atmosphere of CO2, surprisingly has a similar problem

Young's Modulus refers to changes in the: a- Volume b- Length c- Body layers
bekas [8.4K]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option b.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

Stress is defined as force per unit area and strain is defined as proportional deformation in a material.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight

l = length of wire

A = area of cross section

\Delta l = change in length

Hence, the correct answer is Option b.
