Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:

v=f∧,

where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)

f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.

In our case: f=1/3

∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m

A charge of 31.0 μC is to be split into two parts that are then separated by 24.0 mm, what is the maximum possible magnitude of

miskamm [114]

Answer:

1.72 x 10³ N.

Explanation:

When a charge is split equally and placed at a certain distance , maximum electrostatic force is possible.

So the charges will be each equal to

31/2 = 15.5 x 10⁻⁶ C

F = K Q q / r²

= $\frac{9\times10^9\times(10.5)^2\times10^{-12}}{(24\times10^{-3})^2}$

= 1.72 x 10³ N.

A golf ball traveling 3m/s to the right collides in a head-on collision with a stationary bowling ball in a friction-free enviro

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: equal to 3 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of golf ball will be equal to 3 m/s because in Perfect Elastic Collision Energy is conserved .

So speed of golf ball will be same in order to Satisfy

Initial Kinetic Energy =Final Kinetic Energy

Considering Bowling ball remains at rest after collision other wise some energy will also be acquired by bowling ball which automatically decreases the amount of Kinetic Energy of golf ball resulting its speed to decrease by some extent.

Shareen finds that when she drives her motorboat upstream she can travelwith a speed of only 8 m/s, while she moves with a speed

ANEK [815]

Let vb be the velocity of the motorboat and let vs be the velocity of the stream.

We know that when she drives upstream the velocity is 8 m/s, in this scenario the velocities point in opposite directions, then we have the equations:

$v_b-v_s=8$

When she drives downstream the velocites point in the same direction then we have the equation:

$v_b+v_s=12$

hence we have the system of equations:

$\begin{gathered} v_b-v_s=8 \\ v_b+v_s=12 \end{gathered}$

Solving the first equation for the velocity of the boat we have:

$v_b=8+v_s$

Plugging this in the second equation we have:

$\begin{gathered} 8+v_s+v_s=12 \\ 2v_s=4 \\ v_s=\frac{4}{2} \\ v_s=2 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the velocity of the stream is 2 m/s

Can someone give me tips to passing AP Physics 1 with a solid A? Like, tips on how to memorize a lot of equations? Thank you!

Anna007 [38]

A good way for me to remember things is to study it, and to write it down! Say you want the formula for speed, I would write the formula multiple times on a piece of paper!

Here's a video that I haven't actually watched, I just looked it up! It might help you out though: <span>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wqrw4G79Kc</span>
