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)

You are running at a speed of 10km/h and hit a patch of mud. Two seconds later you speed is 8km/h. What is your acceleration in

Answer:

$0.28 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time interval

In this problem:

$u = 10 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=2.78 m/s$ is the initial velocity

$v = 8 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}= 2.22 m/s$ is the final velocity

t = 2 s is the time

Substituting, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{2.78-2.22}{2}=0.28 m/s^2$

The initial velocity of a micro van is 15 m/s. It gains a velocity of 40 ms in 10 seconds. Calculate the average velocity and ac

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

${ \bf{average \: velocity = \frac{15 + 40}{2}}} \\ = 27.5 \: {ms}^{ - 1} \\ { \bf{acceleration = \frac{v - u}{t} }} \\ = \frac{40 - 15}{10} \\ = 2.5 \: {ms}^{ - 2} \\ \\ { \tt{second \: qn : }} \\ { \bf{final \: velocity =u + at }} \\ v = 0 + (5 \times 10) \\ = 50 \: {ms}^{ - 1}$
