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)

Two ropes have equal length and are stretched the same way. The speed of a pulse on rope 1 is 1.4 times the speed on rope 2. Par

Answer:

m1/m2 = 0.51

Explanation:

First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:

V = √F/u

This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.

the value of "u" is:

u = m/L

Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.

Now, for the rod 1:

V1 = √F/u1 (1)

rod 2:

V2 = √F/u2 (2)

Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:

1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)

Replacing (2) in (3):

1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)

Now, let's solve the equation 4:

[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1

1.96(F/u2) =F/u1

1.96F = F*u2/u1

1.96 = u2/u1 (5)

Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:

1.96 = m2/L / m1/L

1.96 = m2/m1 (6)

But we need m1/m2 so:

1.96m1 = m2

m1/m2 = 1/1.96

m1/m2 = 0.51

Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 19.6 m/s in 2.45 s and can continue to accelerate to reach a top speed of 27.6 m/s . Assum

marta [7]

Answer:

$v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}$

Explanation:

To express the cheetah's top speed in miles per hour, we just need to find the conversion factor.

We know that the top speed is

$v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s}$

So, we want to obtain miles from meters and hours from seconds.

<h3>miles from meters</h3>

First we write the equivalence:

$1609.34 \ m = 1 \ mi$

Now, we can divide by 1609.34 meters on both sides:

$\frac{1609.34 \ m}{ 1609.34 \ m} = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}$

The left sides equals 1, so

$1 = \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}$

And this is our conversion factor from meters to miles. Now, we can multiply our top speed by this conversion factor, as the conversion factor equals one, and is dimensionless, the physical meaning will be the same.

$v_{top} = 27.7 \frac{m}{s} * \frac{1 \ mi}{ 1609.34 \ m}$

$v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s}$

This is the top speed in miles per second, now, for obtaining miles per hour:

<h3>hours from seconds</h3>

We can do pretty much the same, first, the equivalence:

$1 \ h = 3600 \ s$

as the seconds are dividing in the velocity, we know divide by 1 hour.

$\frac{1 \ h}{ 1 \ h} = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}$

$1 = \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}$

and know we just multiply our top speed by this conversion factor

$v_{top} = 0.0172120 \frac{mi}{s} \frac{3600 \ s}{ 1 \ h}$

$v_{top} = 61.96 \frac{mi}{h}$
