The frequency of a wave is the number of wave cycles per second. this quantity is given the symbol ν and has units of s^–1 or hertz.

What is a wave ?

A wave is a dynamic disturbance of one or more quantities that propagates through time. When waves oscillate frequently around an equilibrium value at a certain frequency, they are said to be periodic.

What is a wave cycle ?

The wavelength is the measured distance in meters between two waves' peaks or troughs, which is referred to as a wave cycle. It's crucial to remember that the distance from peak to peak equals the distance from trough to trough. The length of time it takes a wave to complete one cycle is known as the wave's period.

In 3 seconds, a wave generator produces 15 pulses that spread over a distance of 45 centimeters. Calculate its velocity.
NemiM [27]

We don't even need to know how many pulses were produced
in those 3 seconds.

The beginning of the first pulse took 3 seconds to travel
45 centimeters from the generator.

Its speed is    (45 cm) / (3 sec)  =  15 cm/sec.

Why does a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed? why does a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed? there is a force acting opposite to the direction of the motion of the satellite. there is no component of force acting along the direction of motion of the satellite. the net force acting on the satellite is zero. the gravitational force acting on the satellite is balanced by the centrifugal force acting on the satellite?

The resource speaks of the atmosphere as if it were living, in the sense that as the earth's surface is heated by the light from
Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

The uneven heating causes temperature differences, which in turn cause air currents (wind) to develop, which then move heat from where there is more heat (higher temperatures) to where there is less heat (lower temperatures). The atmosphere thus becomes a giant "heat engine", continuously driven by the sun.

Wind is the result of pressure changes in the atmosphere due to temperature.

A traveler covers a distance of 413 miles in a time of 7 hours. What is the average speed for his trip?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

59/mph.

Explanation:

We just have to divide the number of miles, by the amount of time it took. 413 miles / 7 hours = 59 miles per hour.
