Answer:

Because there is no net force acting o an object in equilibrium.

Explanation:

When object is in equilibrium (either at rest or moving with constant velocity, the net force acting o it is zero.A vector can only have zero magnitude fall of its components are zero this means that all forces acting on the object are balanced.

An astronaut on a space walk floats a little too far away from the space station. Without air to push against, he cannot paddle

Artyom0805 [142]

He can throw the hammer in the direction opposite to the direction he wants to travel in. The hammer will exert an equal and opposite force on him, as per Newton's third law, and this will help him move towards the space station.

A sound wave has a frequency of 500 Hz and a wavelength of 1.8 m. What is the wave speed of the sound wave? Question 1 options:

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 $\frac{m}{s}$ .

Explanation:

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The propagation velocity is the speed with which the wave propagates in the medium, that is, it is the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation: v = f * λ.

In this case:

f= 500 Hz
λ= 1.8 m

Replacing:

v= 500 Hz* 1.8 m

v= 900 $\frac{m}{s}$

The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 $\frac{m}{s}$ .
