The frequency of the wave is 4 Hz

Explanation:

The relationship between wave, frequency and speed of a wave is given by the equation:

$v=f \lambda$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem, we have:

$v=60 cm/s$ is the speed

$\lambda=15 cm$ is the wavelength

Solving the equation for f, we find its frequency:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{60 cm/s}{15 s}=4 s^{-1} = 4 Hz$

Answer:

In a circuit , VOLTAGE can be said to be the "source" or the "push of electrons". This push then creates what is known as a  CURRENT , which is the flow of electric charge through the circuit. This flow can the slowed down or restricted by RESISTOR , and this is also what can be harnessed in order to use electric ENERGY .

Explanation:

Voltage:

It is the 'push' that causes charges to move in a wire or other electrical conductor, also it is a Source input to the electric circuit.

Measured in Volts.

Current:

An electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge from a point or through a region.

Measured in Ampere.

Resistor:

Resistor is used to resist the flow of charge or to resist the current called as Resistance.

Measured in Ohms.

Electric Energy:

Electrical energy is a form of energy resulting from the flow of electric charge.

Measured in Joules.

an 1150kg elevator moving down speeds up at a rate of 3.5m/s. what is the tension in the supporting cables?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The tension force in the supporting cables is 7245N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the elevator: the force of gravity pointing down (+) with magnitude (elevator mass) x (gravitational acceleration), and the tension force of the cable pointing up (-) with an unknown magnitude F. The net force is the sum of these forces:

$F_{net} = F_g - F = m\cdot g - F\\$

We are given the resulting acceleration along with the mass, i.e., we know the net force, allowing us to solve for F:

$1150kg\cdot 3.5\frac{m}{s^2}= 1150kg \cdot 9.8\frac{m}{s^2}-F\\\implies F = 1150kg\cdot(9.8-3.5)\frac{m}{s^2}= 7245N$

The tension force F in the supporting cables is 7245N

At a location near the equator, the earth’s magnetic field is horizontal and points north. An electron is moving vertically upwa

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

(b) EAST

Explanation:

you can assume that the magnetic field points rightward, that is, in the positive x direction (NORTH). Furthermore, you can assume that the direction of the motion of the electron is in the positive y direction. Hence, you have:

$\vec{B}=B_o\hat{i}\\\\\vec{v}=v_o\hat{j}$

You use the Lorentz formula to known which is the direction of the magnetic force over the electron:

$F=qv\ X\ B$

which implies the cross product between the unitary vecors j and i, that is

$\hat{i} \ X\ \hat{j} = -\hat{k}$ (WEST)

However, the minus sign of the charge of the electron changes the direction 180°. Hence, the direction is k. That is, to the EAST

A mango falls fromthe top its tree passing a window which is 2.4m tall by taking 0.4s

Natasha2012 [34]

Explanation:

There are three points in time we need to consider. At point 0, the mango begins to fall from the tree. At point 1, the mango reaches the top of the window. At point 2, the mango reaches the bottom of the window.

We are given the following information:

y₁ = 3 m

y₂ = 3 m − 2.4 m = 0.6 m

t₂ − t₁ = 0.4 s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t₀ = 0 s

v₀ = 0 m/s

We need to find y₀.

Use a constant acceleration equation:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

Evaluated at point 1:

3 = y₀ + (0) t₁ + ½ (-9.8) t₁²

3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²

Evaluated at point 2:

0.6 = y₀ + (0) t₂ + ½ (-9.8) t₂²

0.6 = y₀ − 4.9 t₂²

Solve for y₀ in the first equation and substitute into the second:

y₀ = 3 + 4.9 t₁²

0.6 = (3 + 4.9 t₁²) − 4.9 t₂²

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₂²)

We know t₂ = t₁ + 0.4:

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁ + 0.4)²)

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁² + 0.8 t₁ + 0.16))

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₁² − 0.8 t₁ − 0.16)

0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (-0.8 t₁ − 0.16)

0 = 2.4 − 3.92 t₁ − 0.784

0 = 1.616 − 3.92 t₁

t₁ = 0.412

Now we can plug this into the original equation and find y₀:

3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²

3 = y₀ − 4.9 (0.412)²

3 = y₀ − 0.83

y₀ = 3.83

Rounded to two significant figures, the height of the tree is 3.8 meters.
