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:

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

Topic Gravitational force amd firld strength.. help me please

I am Lyosha [343]

The gravitational force between m₁ and m₂ has magnitude

$F_{1,2} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{x^2}$

while the gravitational force between m₁ and m₃ has magnitude

$F_{1,3} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_3}{(15-x)^2}$

where x is measured in m.

The mass m₁ is attracted to m₂ in one direction, and attracted to m₃ in the opposite direction such that m₁ in equilibrium. So by Newton's second law, we have

$F_{1,2} - F_{1,3} = 0$

Solve for x :

$\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{x^2} = \dfrac{Gm_1m_3}{(15-x)^2} \\\\ \dfrac{m_2}{x^2} = \dfrac{m_3}{(15-x)^2} \\\\ \dfrac{(15-x)^2}{x^2} = \dfrac{m_3}{m_2} = \dfrac{60\,\rm kg}{40\,\rm kg} = \dfrac32 \\\\ \left(\dfrac{15-x}x\right)^2 = \dfrac32 \\\\ \left(\dfrac{15}x-1\right)^2 = \dfrac32 \\\\ \dfrac{15}x - 1 = \pm \sqrt{\dfrac32} \\\\ \dfrac{15}x = 1 \pm \sqrt{\dfrac32} \\\\ x = \dfrac{15}{1\pm\sqrt{\dfrac32}}$

The solution with the negative square root is negative, so we throw it out. The other is the one we want,

$x \approx 6.74\,\mathrm m$

A device called an insolation meter is used to measure the intensity of sunlight. It has an area of 100 cm2 and registers 6.50 W

labwork [276]

Answer:

Explanation:

Intensity of the sunlight is expressed as I = Power/cross sectional area. It is measured in W/m²

Given parameters

Power rating = 6.50Watts

Cross sectional area = 100cm²

Before we calculate the intensity, we need to convert the area to m² first.

100cm² = 10cm * 10cm

SInce 100cm = 1m

10cm = (10/100)m

10cm = 0.1m

100cm² = 0.1m * 0.1m = 0.01m²

Area (in m²) = 0.01m²

Required

Intensity of the sunlight I

I = P/A

I = 6.5/0.01

I = 650W/m²

Hence, the intensity of the sunlight in W/m² is 650W/m²
