Answer:

5.5 × 10-2 hertz

Explanation:

The time taken by a wave crest to travel a distance equal to the length of wave is known as wave period.

= 0.055 per second (1 cycle per second = 1 Hertz)

Thus, we can conclude that the frequency of the wave is 5.5 X 10^{-2} hertz.

A student walks the hallway for 25 m stops to talk and continues down the hallway another 10 m what is the distance and displace

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Distance = displacement = 35m

Explanation:

The distance of the student is how far he has gone.

Distance = 25m + 10m

Distance = 35m

Displacement is the distance specified in specific direction. Since the student walk in the sane direction, thence the displacement is also 35m

An object experiences a net acceleration to the left. Which of the following statements about this object are true? There may be

dedylja [7]

Answer:

When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitude

Explanation:

When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.

From Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of the object is given as;

a = ∑F / m

a = -F / m

The negative value of "a" indicates acceleration to the left

where;

∑F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

At a constant force, F = ma ⇒ m₁a₁ = m₂a₂

If the mass of the object was doubled, m₂ = 2m₁

a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (m₂)

a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (2m₁)

a₂ = ¹/₂(a₁)

Therefore, the following can be deduced from the acceleration of this object;

When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitude

The Andromeda galaxy is the closest major galaxy to our own. Andromeda shows a distinct blue-shift of light when we analyze it.

saul85 [17]

At the present time, the only way we know of that light can get shifted
toward the blue end of the spectrum is the Doppler effect ... wavelengths
appear shorter than they should be when the source is moving toward us.

IF that's true in the case of the Andromeda galaxy, it means the galaxy is
moving toward us.

We use the same reasoning to conclude that all the galaxies whose light is red-shifted are moving away from us. That includes the vast majority of all galaxies that we can see, and it strongly supports the theory of the big bang
and the expanding universe.

If somebody ever comes along and discovers a DIFFERENT way that light
can get shifted to new, longer or shorter wavelengths, then pretty much all
of modern Cosmology will be out the window. There's a lot riding on the
Doppler effect !

A pressure that will support a column of Hg to a height of 256 mm would support a column of water to what height? The density of

Paul [167]

Answer:

The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm

Explanation:

Pressure:This is defined as the ratio of the force acting normally ( perpendicular) to the area of surface in contact. The S.I unit of pressure is N/m²

p = Dgh............... Equation 1

Where p = pressure, D = density, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

From the question, the same pressure will support the column of mercury and water.

p₁ = p₂

Where p₁ = pressure of mercury, p₂ = pressure of water

D₁gh₁ = D₂gh₂.................. Equation 2

making h₂ the subject of equation 2

h₂ = D₁gh/D₂g............... Equation 3

Where D₁ and D₂ = Density of mercury and water respectively, h₁ and h₂ = height of mercury and water respectively

Given: D₁ = 13.6 g/cm³, D₂ = 1.00 g/cm³, h₁ = 256 mm = 25.6 cm.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into Equation 3,

h₂ = (13.6×9.8×25.6)/1×9.8

h₂ = 348.14 cm

The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm

Is the energy of a wave is calculated by squaring the frequency of the wave?

Misha Larkins [42]

Nope.
Energy is directly proportional to frequency. and when you calculate energy, you multiply frequency with a constant number called "Planck's Constant"

E = hf

Hope this helps!
