Frequency is measured in units called?

1 answer:

5 0

The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.

A 1.00 kg particle has the xy coordinates (-1.20 m, 0.500 m) and a 4.50 kg particle has the xy coordinates (0.600 m, -0.750 m).

just olya [345]

Answer:

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

Explanation:

The center of mass of a system of particles ( $\vec r_{cm}$ ), measured in meters, is defined by this weighted average:

$\vec r_{cm} = \frac{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}\cdot \vec r_{i}}{\Sigma_{i=1}^{n}\,m_{i}}$ (1)

Where:

$m_{i}$ - Mass of the i-th particle, measured in kilograms.

$\vec r_{i}$ - Location of the i-th particle with respect to origin, measured in meters.

If we know that $\vec r_{cm} = (-0.500\,m,-0.700\,m)$ , $m_{1} = 1\,kg$ , $\vec r_{1} = (-1.20\,m, 0.500\,m)$ , $m_{2} = 4.50\,kg$ , $\vec r_{2} = (0.600\,m, -0.750\,m)$ and $m_{3} = 4\,kg$ , then the coordinates of the third particle are:

$(-0.500\,m, -0.700\,m) = \frac{(1\,kg)\cdot (-1.20\,m,0.500\,m)+(4.50\,kg)\cdot (0.600\,m,-0.750\,m)+(4\,kg)\cdot \vec r_{3}}{1\,kg+4.50\,kg+4\,kg}$

$(-4.75\,kg\cdot m, -6.65\,kg\cdot m) = (-1.20\,kg\cdot m, 0.500\,kg\cdot m) + (2.7\,kg\cdot m, -3.375\,kg\cdot m) +(4\cdot x_{3},4\cdot y_{3})$

$(4\cdot x_{3}, 4\cdot y_{3}) = (-6.25\,kg\cdot m,-3.775\,kg\cdot m)$

$(x_{3},y_{3}) = (-1.562\,m,-0.944\,m)$

a) The x coordinate of the third mass is -1.562 meters.

b) The y coordinate of the third mass is -0.944 meters.

The highest point of a wave is called the

Kipish [7]

The highest point of a wave is called the crest. Among the choices, the correct answer is C. The height of the wave can be determined using the crest and the trough. The trough is the lowest point of a wave. The wavelength is the distance between two crests of a wave.
