Answer:

The medium determines the speed of the wave, the wavelength and frequency.

Explanation:For different media the speed of the wave will variate, because each media have different properties. The following equation makes a relation between the speed of the wave, the wavelength and the frequency:

v = \lambda.\nu (1)

Where v is the speed of the wave, \lambda is the wavelength and \nu is the frequency

Equation 1 shows that the speed of the wave is directly proportional to the product of the wavelength and the frequency. If the speed is lower the wavelength will decrease but the frequency increase, as is shown in equation 2:

\lambda = \frac{v}{\nu}   (2)

Equation 1 can be rewritten for the case of the frequency:

\nu = \frac{v}{\lambda}     (3)

So, according with equation 3, if the speed is higher the frequency will increase but the wavelength will decrease (inversely proportional).

A 125kg bumper car going 12m/s hits a 235kg bumper car going -13m/s.if the first car bounces back at -12.5m/s what is the veloci
vovikov84 [41]
According to the law of conservation of momentum:

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'

m1 = mass of first object
m2 = mass of second object
v1 = Velocity of the first object before the collision
v2 = Velocity of the second object before the collision
v'1 = Velocity of the first object after the collision
v'2 = Velocity of the second object after the collision

Now how do you solve for the velocity of the second car after the collision? First thing you do is get your given and fill in what you know in the equation and solve for what you do not know. 

m1 = 125 kg     v1 = 12m/s      v'1 = -12.5m/s
m2 = 235kg      v2 = -13m/s     v'2 = ?

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}'+m_{2}v_{2}'
(125kg)(12m/s)+(235kg)(-13m/s)=(125kg)(-12.5m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}'
1,500kg.m/s+(-3055kg.m/s)=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')
-1,555kg.m/s=(-1562.5kg.m/s)+(235kg)(v_{2}')

Transpose everything on the side of the unknown to isolate the unknown. Do not forget to do the opposite operation. 

-1,555kg.m/s + 1562.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')
7.5kg.m/s=(235kg)(v_{2}')
(7.5kg.m/s)/(235kg)=(v_{2}')
0.03m/s=(v_{2}')

The velocity of the 2nd car after the collision is 0.03m/s.

A transverse wave on a long horizontal rope with a
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is related to its wavelength and  speed by the equation

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where

f is the frequency

v is the speed of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem,

v = 2 m/s

\lambda=8 m

So the frequency is

f=\frac{2}{8}=0.25 Hz

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency, so for this wave:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4 s

This means that the wave takes 4 seconds to complete one full cycle.

Therefore, the time taken for the wave to go from a point with displacement +A to a point with displacement -A is half the period, therefore for this wave:

t=\frac{T}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2 s

loris [4]

Answer:

speed = 7.9 m/s

Explanation:

speed = total distance / time taken

speed = 300 / 38

speed = 7.89473684 m/s

to the nearest tenth

speed = 7.9 m/s

sammy [17]

Answer:

Part a)

R_1 = 0.072 m

Part b)

R_2 = 0.036 m

Part c)

d = 0.072 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the radius of the charge particle in constant magnetic field is given by

R = \frac{mv}{qB}

now for single ionized we have

R_1 = \frac{(4.39\times 10^{-27})(7.92 \times 10^5)}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(0.301)}

R_1 = 0.072 m

Part b)

Similarly for doubly ionized ion we will have the same equation

R = \frac{mv}{qB}

R_2 = \frac{(4.39\times 10^{-27})(7.92 \times 10^5)}{(3.2 \times 10^{-19})(0.301)}

R_2 = 0.036 m

Part c)

The distance between the two particles are half of the loop will be given as

d = 2(R_1 - R_2)

d = 2(0.072 - 0.036)

d = 0.072 m
