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)

160 m/s because you start off with 10 and go up by 50*3 which is 150 then add that with the begging speed to achieve 160m/s.

Answer:

$d_{2}$ = 33.33 cm

Explanation:

Given:

When mass, $m_{1}$ =21 kg

distance travelled is $d_{1}$ = 140 cm

When mass, $m_{2}$ =5 kg

distance travelled is $d_{2}$ = ?

Hooke's law state that within elastic limit, when an external force is applied to a body, the body gets deformed and when the force is released the gets back to its original form.

Therefore according to the question,

$\frac{d_{1}}{m_{1}}=\frac{d_{2}}{m_{2}}$

$\frac{140}{21}=\frac{d_{2}}{5}$

$d_{2}$ = 33.33 cm

Distance travelled is 33.33 cm when mass is 5 kg.

slava [35]

There are mistakes in the question as the unit of speed and height is not mention here.The correct question is here

A student standing on the ground throws a ball straight up. The ball leaves the student's hand with a speed of 16.0m/s when the hand is 1.80m above the ground.How long is the ball in the air before it hits the ground? (The student moves her hand out of the way.)

Answer:

t=3.37s

Explanation:

Given Data

As we have taken hand at origin and positive upward

So given data are

$y_{i}=0m\\y_{f}=-1.80m\\v_{i}=16.0m/s\\a=g=9.8m/s^{2}$
