It takes 5.0 seconds for a wave with a wavelength of 2.5 m to travel past your location. What’s the period of the wave. What is
1 answer:
(a) Period of the wave
The period of a wave is the time needed for a complete cycle of the wave to pass through a certain point.
So, if an entire cycle of the wave passes through the given location in 5.0 seconds, this means that the period is equal to 5.0 s: T=5.0 s.
(b) Frequency of the wave
The frequency of a wave is defined as
since in our problem the period is
, the frequency is
(c) Speed of the wave
The speed of a wave is given by the following relationship between frequency f and wavelength

Let the rise in temperature be
The expansion in length due to change in temperature is given by the expression lαΔt , where l is the length, α is the coefficient of linear expansion, Δt is the change in temperature.
Here l = 93 m, α =
, and Δt =
So expansion in length = 93**5 = 0.007905 m =
So order of magnitude in change in length = -3
By striking another object that is free to move, the moving object can exert a force and cause the second object to shift its position. While the object is moving, it has the capacity for doing work. Energy means the ability to do work, so all moving things have energy by virtue of their motion.
Translation: Al golpear otro objeto que se puede mover libremente, el objeto en movimiento puede ejercer una fuerza y hacer que el segundo objeto cambie de posición. Mientras el objeto se mueve, tiene la capacidad de realizar un trabajo. Energía significa la capacidad de realizar un trabajo, por lo que todas las cosas en movimiento tienen energía en virtud de su movimiento.
