A wave with a period of 1⁄3 second has a frequency of D. 3 Hz. To
calculate this we will use the formula that represents the correlation
between a frequency (f) and a time period (T): T = 1/f. Or: f = 1/T. The
unit for the time period is second "s" while the unit for frequency is
Hertz "Hz" (=1/s). We know that T = 1/3 s. That means that f = 1/(1/3s) =
3 1/s = 3 Hz.
Answer:
(a) 2 (b) 4 (c) 4
Explanation:
Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.
Rules for significant figures:
- Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.
- All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.
- All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.
- All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.
- All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.
- All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example : 8000 has one significant figure.
As per question,
0.000054 has 2 significant figures.
3.001 x 10⁵ has 4 significant figures.
5.600 has 4 significant figures.
ANSWER
625 m/s
EXPLANATION
Given:
• The frequency of the sound wave, f = 250 Hz
,
• The wavelength, λ = 2.5 m
Find:
• The speed of the wave, v
The speed of a wave of wavelength λ and frequency f is given by,

Substitute the known values and solve,

Hence, the speed of the wave is 625 m/s.

Answer:
18.9 m.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 70 km/h
Height (h) =?
Next, we shall convert 70 km/h to m/s. This can be obtained as follow:
3.6 km/h = 1 m/s
Therefore,
70 km/h = 70 km/h × 1 m/s / 3.6 km/h
70 km/h = 19.44 m/s
Finally, we shall determine the height. This can be obtained as follow:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 19.44 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Height (h) =?
v² = u² + 2gh
19.44² = 0² + (2 × 10 × h)
377.9136 = 0 + 20h
377.9136 = 20h
Divide both side by 20
h = 377.9136 / 20
h = 18.9 m
Thus, the car will fall from a height of 18.9 m
