There are different kinds of conductors, most notably electrical and thermal conductors. But they are often inclusive of each other (electrical conductors are typically good thermal conductors). A conductor transmits something through its body with high efficiency while an insulator does not transmit very well. In the case of electricity, a conductor transmits electrical energy between two points while an insulator blocks the flow of electricity. Two examples of conductors are copper and silver. Two examples of insulators are wood and styrofoam.

A sound wave has a speed of 343 m/s in air. What is the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 686 Hz

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Wavelength is the distance between 2 adjacent points in a wave

we can use the following equation to find the wavelength of a sound wave

wavelength = speed / frequency

frequency is the number of waves passing a point in 1 second

substituting the values in the equation

wavelength = 343 m/s / 686 Hz

wavelength = 0.5 m

wavelength of the wave is 0.5 m

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.7 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.76

Explanation:

we are given:

radius (r) =5.7 m

speed (s) = 1 revolution in 5.5 seconds

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

coefficient of friction (Uk) = ?

we can get the minimum coefficient of friction from the equation below

centrifugal force = frictional force

m x r x ω^{2} = Uk x m x g

r x ω^{2} = Uk x g

Uk = $\frac{ r x ω^{2} }{g}$

where ω (angular velocity) = $\frac{2π}{time}$

= $\frac{2π }{5.5}$ = 1.14

Uk = $\frac{ 5.7 x 1.14^{2} }{9.8}$ = 0.76

What is the magnitude of your displacement when you follow directions that tell you to walk 100.0m north, then 25.0m East?

atroni [7]

Answer:

Displacement from the starting position is 103.21m

Explanation:

If you draw these directions, it will create the two legs of a triangle.

Using this method, you can visualize why your displacement is what it is.

Using the pythagorean theorem

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

Plug in both values

${100m}^{2} + {25m}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

$c = \sqrt{10652}$

c = 103.2085

c= 103.21
