Water waves, earthquake waves, sound waves, and the waves that travel down a rope or spring are all examples of what waves.

A wave travels at a constant speed. How does the frequency change if the wavelength increases by a factor of 2?

NARA [144]

Answer : The frequency decreases by a factor of 2.

Explanation :

Given that the wave travels at a constant speed. The speed of the wave is given as :

$v=\nu\times \lambda$

Where

υ is the frequency of the wave

and λ is the wavelength of the wave.

In this case, the speed is constant. So, the relation between the frequency and the wavelength is inverse.

$\nu\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$

If the wavelength increases by a factor of 2, its frequency will decrease by a factor of 2.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " The frequency decreases by a factor of 2 ".

To teach you how to find the parameters characterizing an object in a circular orbit around a much heavier body like the earth.

Karolina [17]

Answer:

a) T² = ( $\frac{4\pi ^2}{GM}$ ) r³

b) veloicity the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance

kinetic energy depends on the inverse of the distance

potential energy dependency is the inverse of distance

angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance

Explanation:

1) for this exercise we will use Newton's second law

F = ma

in this case the acceleration is centripetal

a = v² / r

the linear and angular variable are related

v = w r

we substitute

a = w² r

force is the universal force of attraction

F = $G \frac{m M}{r^2}$

we substitute

$G \frac{m M}{r^2} = m w^2 r$

w² = $\frac{GM}{r^3}$

angular velocity is related to frequency and period

w = 2π f = 2π / T

we substitute

$( \frac{2\pi }{T} ) = \frac{GM}{r^3}$

the final equation is

T² = () r³

b) the speed of the orbit can be found

v = w r

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r^3} } \ r$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }$

in this case the dependency is the inverse of the root of the distance

Kinetic energy

K = ½ M v²

K = ½ M GM / r

K = ½ GM² 1 / r

the kinetic energy depends on the inverse of the distance

Potential energy

U =

U = -G mM / r

dependency is the inverse of distance

Angular momentum

L = r x p

for a circular orbit

L = r p = r Mv

L =

The angular momentum depends directly on the root of the distance

Help with these three

Elenna [48]

The first: alright, first: you draw the person in the elevator, then draw a red arrow, pointing downwards, beginning from his center of mass. This arrow is representing the gravitational force, Fg.
You can always calculate this right away, if you know his mass, by multiplying his weight in kg by the gravitational constant
$g = 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }$
let's do it for this case:
$f_{g} = m \times g \\ f _{g} = 65kg \times 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} } = 637.65$
the unit of your fg will be in Newton [N]
so, first step solved, Fg is 637.65N
Fg is a field force by the way, and at the same time, the elevator is pushing up on him with 637.65N, so you draw another arrow pointing upwards, ending at the tip of the downwards arrow.
now let's calculate the force of the elevator
$f = m \times a \\ f = 65 \times 5 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} } \\ f = 325n$
so you draw another arrow which is pointing downwards on him, because the elevator is accelating him upwards, making him heavier
the elevator force in this case is a contact force, because it only comes to existence while the two are touching, while Fg is the same everywhere

Imagine that Earth stops orbiting the Sun but continues to rotate in place about its own axis at its current rate. In this case,

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The length of the solar day will get shorter.

Explanation:

The blue planet Earth not only rotates around it's own axis but also rotates around the Sun and everyday it moves a little bit around the axis.
Since the speed of the Earth's rotation on it's own axis and around the Sun is constant we don't feel the effects of the rotation.We can only feel the motion if the earth changes it's rotation speed.
If by any means or chance the Earth stopped spinning (stopped rotation) then the atmosphere surrounding the Earth would be in motion and all the Earth's land would be scoured clean.
