Let us assume a man travelled from a point A to a point B over a distance 'd'. After a while he travels the same distance back to point A.

Therefore, since his initial and final positions are the same, displacement is equal to zero, and the distance travelled is (d + d) = 2d, which is not zero.

What is the fundamental frequency on a 8 m rope that is tied at both ends if the speed of the waves is 16 m/s?
lana [24]

Answer:

1 Hz

Explanation:

For rope fixed on both ends the length corresponds to λ/2  (λ is wavelength)\

 Thus L =  λ/2

=> λ = 16 m

We know that frequency and wavelength are related as

 f x λ = v   where f is frequency and v is speed of the wave

thus f = v/λ

        f = 16/16 =1 Hz

An empty water tank has a rectangular base with side lengths of 1.2 m and 2.3 m. The weight of the tank applies a pressure of 35
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Weight = 966 Newton.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Length = 1.2 m

Width = 2.3 m

Pressure = 350 Pa

To find the weight of the tank;

We know that weight is the force of gravity acting on an object multiplied by its mass.

Weight = mg = force

Hence, we would determine the force using the parameters that were given.

But we would first determine the area of the rectangular tank.

Area of rectangle, A = length * width

A = 1.2 * 2.3

A = 2.76 m²

Mathematically, pressure is given by the formula;

Pressure = force/area

Force = pressure * area

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Force = 2.76 * 350

Force = 966 Newton

Therefore, the weight of the tank is 966 Newton.
