Answer:

wavelength = 0.5 meters

Explanation:

Wavelength is the distance between successive trough or crest of a wave. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency. This means the shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency .The S.I unit of wavelength is meters.

Wavelength can be represented with a Greek symbol known as lambda (λ).

The formula below can be use to represent wavelength .

λ = v/f

where λ = wavelength

v = velocity

f = frequency

v = 24m/s

f = 48 Hertz

λ = 24/48

λ = 0.5meters

Answer:

Wavelength is 0.5

Explanation:

To work it out, you divide Wave speed by the Frequency (24÷48=0.5)

The watch hand covers an angular displacement of 2π radians in 60 seconds.

ω = 2π/60
ω = 0.1 rad/s

v = ωr
v = 0.1 x 0.08

The velocity of a 1.3 kg block sliding down a frictionless inclined plane is found to be 1.26 m/s. 1.10 s later, it has a veloci

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

$\theta = 25.3^\circ$

Explanation:

The acceleration of the block can be found by the kinematics equations:

$v = v_0 + at\\5.88 = 1.26 + a(1.1)\\a = 4.2~m/s^2$

Since the plane is frictionless, the only force acting on the block along the motion of the block is its weight.

$F = mg\sin(\theta) = ma\\g\sin(\theta) = a\\(9.8)\sin(\theta) = 4.2\\\theta = 25.3^\circ$

A 20.0-N weight slides down a rough inclined plane which makes an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal. The weight starts from

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

$1270.64\ \text{J}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = $\dfrac{mg}{g}$

mg = Weight of object = 20 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

v = Final velocity = 15 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m

$\theta$ = Angle of slope = $30^{\circ}$

f = Force of friction

fd = Work done against friction

The force balance of the system is

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=(mg\sin\theta-f)d\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mg\sin\theta d-fd\\\Rightarrow fd=mg\sin\theta d-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow fd=20\times \sin 30^{\circ}\times 150-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{9.81}\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow fd=1270.64\ \text{J}$

The work done against friction is $1270.64\ \text{J}$ .

What do you mean by population size explain

torisob [31]

Population size is the actual number of individuals in a population. Population density is a measurement of population size per unit area, i.e., population size divided by total land area. Abundance refers to the relative representation of a species in a particular ecosystem.
