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 ride-sharing car moving along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed

liq [111]

Answer:

A) total time = 55.5 seconds

B) average velocity = 25.27 m/s

Explanation:

It starts from rest, so initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

We are given;

acceleration; a = 2 m/s²

Final velocity; v = 31 m/s

From Newton's first law of motion,

v = u + at

So, 31 = 0 + 2t

t = 31/2

t = 15.5 sec

We are told that, after this time of 15.5 sec, the car travels 35 sec at a constant speed and after that it takes 5 sec additional time to stop. Thus;

(a) Total time in which car is in motion = 15.5 + 35 +5 = 55.5 seconds

b)Total distance traveled during first 15.5 sec would be gotten from Newton's second equation of motion which is;

S = ut + ½at²

S1 = 0 + ½(2 * 15.5²)

S1 = 240.25 m

Distance traveled in 35 sec with with velocity of 31 m/sec is;

S2 = velocity x time

S2 = 35 × 31 = 1085 m

Now, for the final stage, final velocity (v) will now be 0 since the car comes to rest while initial velocity(u) will be 31 m/s.

From the first equation of motion,

a = (v - u)/t

a = (0 - 31)/5

a = -6.2 m/s²

So, distance travelled is;

S3 = ut + ½at²

S3 = (31 × 5) + ½(-6.2 × 5²)

S3 = 155 - 77.5

S3 = 77.5 m

So overall total distance = S1 + S2 + S3

Overall total distance = 240.25 + 1085 + 77.5 = 1402.75 m

Average velocity = total distance/total time

Average velocity = 1402.75/55.5 = 25.27 m/s

A person jogs eight complete laps around a quarter-mile track in a total time of 13.1 minutes

ExtremeBDS [4]

Speed and velocity have the same magnitudes. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and velocity is a vector quantity. In other words, speed is just a magnitude, while velocity is a magnitude with direction. They're essentially the same.

Let's convert miles to meters and minutes to seconds

1/4 mile = 402.34 meters ( 1 mile = 1609 m)
13.1 minutes = 786 seconds (1 minute = 60 seconds)

Speed is calculated as distance over time, thus,

Speed = (402.34 meters)*8/786 seconds
a.) Speed = 4.1 m./s
b.) Velocity = 4.1 m/s

What are conductors and insulators? Give at least five example of each

Leona [35]

Answer: conductors are substances that allow heat or electricity to pass through . It deals with only the flow of electrons.

Eg. water, copper wire, iron rod, some ceramic materials, metallic nail.

Insulators are materials that do not allow heat or electricity to pass through.

Eg. Book, plastic, rubber, glass, paper

You have a battery marked " 6.00 V 6.00 V ." When you draw a current of 0.383 A 0.383 A from it, the potential difference betwee

Archy [21]

Answer:

V = 4.81 V

Explanation:

As the potential difference between the battery terminals, is less than the rated value of the battery, this means that there is some loss in the internal resistance of the battery.
We can calculate this loss, applying Ohm's law to the internal resistance, as follows:

$V_{rint} = I* r_{int}$

The value of the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, is just the voltage of the battery, minus the loss in the internal resistance, as follows:

$V = V_{b} - V_{rint} = 5.03 V = 6.0 V - 0.383 A* r_{int}$

We can solve for rint, as follows:

$r_{int} = \frac{V_{b}-V}{I} =\frac{6.0V-5.03V}{0.383A} = 2.53 \Omega$

When the circuit draws from battery a current I of 0.469A, we can find the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, as follows:

$V = V_{b} - V_{rint} = 6.0 V - 0.469 A* 2.53 \Omega= 6.0 V - 1.19 V = 4.81 V$

As the current draw is larger, the loss in the internal resistance will be larger too, so the potential difference between the terminals of the battery will be lower.

Is vapor pressure independent of atmospheric pressure? - This is what my instructor told me, but I don't understand why. ...?

miss Akunina [59]

Vapor pressure or equilibrium vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases at a certain temperature. It is independent with atmospheric pressure since it does not change by changing the atmospheric pressure only.
