A wave x meters long has a speed of y meters per second. The frequency of the wave is

1 answer:

6 0

The correct answer is (b.) y/x hertz. That is because the formula to get the frequency is f = v / w. The following values (v=y meters / second; wavelength = x meters) must be substituted to the equation, which leaves you y/x hertz.

Sound travels about 750 miles per hour. if you stand in a canyon and sound a horn, you will hear an echo. suppose it takes about

diamong [38]

The answer to this question would be:3850ft

To answer this question, you need to convert the speed velocity from miles/hour into feet/second. The equation would be: 750 miles/hour x 5280 foot/mile x 1 hour/3600second = 1100 ft/s
Then multiply the time with the velocity= 3.5 second x 1100 ft/s= 3850ft

What tells you the strength of a wave?

castortr0y [4]

The first factor is wind speed, the second factor is wind duration, and the last factor is the fetch, the distance over which the wind blows without a change in direction.

all these factors determines the strength of a wave.

hope this helps :)
