If the number of crests that pass a point in a given time increases, what has increased?

2 answers:

7 0

The frequency increasing makes the crests pass more quickly. Frequency is a count of how many times per second an event occurs. In waves, this event is the passing of an entire cycle. Once the cycle has passed, the wave repeats. The faster the wave repeats, the higher the frequency. For this reason, frequency has units of hertz, Hz. The unit of hertz is 1/s or "per second"

Answer:

I messed up on my first answer, I looked at the question wrong thinking that it said decreased not increased. And, indeed, frequency is correct. `:D

Hope this helps!

How many seconds will it take for a the International Space Station to travel 450 km at a rate of 100 m/s?

SVEN [57.7K]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)

Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)

Time = 4500 seconds (that's 75 minutes)

Note:

This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.

If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.

The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.

The x component of vector is -27.3 m and the y component is +43.6 m. (a) What is the magnitude of ? (b) What is the angle betwee

lara [203]

Answer:51.44 units

Explanation:

Given

x component of vector is $-27.3\hat{i}$

y component of vector is $43.6\hat{j}$

so position vector is

$r=-27.3\hat{i}+43.6\hat{j}$

Magnitude of vector is

$|r|=\sqrt{27.3^2+43.6^2}$

$|r|=\sqrt{2646.25}$

|r|=51.44 units

Direction

$tan\theta =\frac{43.6}{-27.3}=-1.597$

vector is in 2nd quadrant thus

$180-\theta =57.94$

$\theta =122.06^{\circ}$

You see lightning and 30 seconds later you hear thunder. how far away is the thunderstorm? take the speed of sound to be 339 m/s

Jobisdone [24]

Let the observer be 'd' distance away from the thunderstorm and let light take 't' time to reach the observer
Since the speed of sound and light remains constant in a particular medium, we can use
Speed = Distance/Time

For light,
3 x 10^8 = d/t
t = d/(3 x 10^8) -1

For sound,
339 = d/(t + 30) -2

Putting value from 1 in 2.
d = 10^4 m(approx)

An open-topped freight car with mass 24,000 kg is coasting without friction along a level track. It is raining very hard, and th

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

(a) v = 3..6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

Explanation:

from the question we have the following:

mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg

initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s

mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg

final velocity of the car (v) = ?

(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where

initial momentum = final momentum

Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V

24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v

96,000 = 27000v

v =3.6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

The Fitness Log is:

Molodets [167]

Answer:

D. A record of all the physical activity you complete in one week.

Explanation:

A "Fitness Log" allows you to keep track of your workout or exercise. Therefore, it is a record of the different workout you've managed to complete within a time frame. It gives you several information such as the type of workout you've completed, its duration and the time of the day it was performed. This makes a person motivated to exercise because he can see his progress. He may also include his mood before and after workout in order to become more mindful in exercising and many other things.
