A standing wave is created in a microwave oven by reflecting microwaves from the walls of the oven. The cold spots, the nodes in

the microwave standing wave, are found to be 6 cm apart. What is the frequency of the microwaves? [Ans: 2.5 * 109Hz]​

The frequency of the wave is given as 2.5 * 10^9 Hz.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

The term wavelength is the distance that is covered by a wave. It is also referred to as the distance between two successive crests or two successive troughs. It can also be defined as half of the distance between two nodes.

Now nodes are the points in which there is no movement while antinodes are the points in which there is movement.

Given that;

c = λf

c = speed of light =  3 * 10^8 m/s

λ = 2(6cm) = 12 cm or 12 * 10^-2 m

f = ??

Thus;

f = c/ λ

f =  3 * 10^8 m/s/12 * 10^-2 m

f = 2.5 * 10^9 Hz

Max and Jimmy want to jump on a trampoline. Max begins jumping in a steady pattern, making small waves in the trampoline. Jimmy
mylen [45]

Answer:

x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement

Explanation:

In this case we can see that the first boy Max when he enters the trampoline and jumps creates a harmonic movement, with a given frequency. When the second boy Jimmy enters the trampoline and begins to jump he also creates a harmonic movement. If the frequency of the two movements is the same and they are in phase we have a resonant process, where the amplitude of the movement increases significantly.

         Max

               x₁ = A cos (wt + Ф)

         Jimmy

              x₂ = B cos (wt + Ф)

         

total movement

             x_total = (A + B) cos (wt + Ф)

 Therefore we have the sum of the two waves in a phase movement

Susan, driving north at 53 mphmph , and Shawn, driving east at 63 mphmph , are approaching an intersection. Part A What is Shawn
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed = 10 mph

Resultant velocity = 82.32 mph

Explanation:

The given data :-

i) Susan driving in north and speed of Susan is ( v₁ ) = 53 mph.

ii) Shawn driving in east and speed of Shawn is ( v₂ ) = 63 mph.

iii) The speed of both Susan and Shawn is relative to earth.

iv) The angle between Susan in north and Shawn in east is 90°.

We have to find Shawn's speed relative to Susan's speed.

v₂₁ = v₂ - v₁   = 63 - 53 = 10 mph

Resultant velocity,

v = \sqrt{v_{2} ^{2}+ v_{1} ^{2}  }  =\sqrt{63^{2} +53^{2} }

v = 82.32 mph

Which material will displace a volume of water? Which material will displace a volume of water less than its own volume? Which m
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

1. all of them

2. cork and wax

3. iron, lead, and aluminum

4. none of them

Explanation:

1.Which material will displace a volume of water?  all of them

When an object is introduced into a container with a volume of water, a volume of liquid equal to the volume of the object is displaced

2.Which material will displace a volume of water less than its own volume?

cork and wax

because  the density of the object is less than that of the displaced liquid

3.Which material will displace a volume of water equal to its own volume?

iron, lead, and aluminum

because  Arquimedes's principle: any body plunged inside a fluid in this case water experiences an ascending force called push, equivalent to the weight of the fluid removed by the body

4.Which material will displace a volume of water greater than its own volume?

None of them

Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g. What minimum coefficient of static friction must exist between y
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Acceleration = (0.2 x g) = 1.96m/sec^2. 
<span>Accelerating force on 1kg. = (ma) = 1.96N. </span>
<span>1kg. has a weight (normal force) of 9.8N. </span>
<span>Coefficient µ = 1.96/9.8 = 0.2 minimum. </span>

<span>Coefficient is a ratio, so holds true for any value of mass to find accelerating force acting. </span>
<span>e.g. 75kg = (75 x g) = 735N. </span>
<span>Accelerating force = (735 x 0.2) = 147N</span>
