Velocity = wavelength x frequency
20=3f
f=20/3
f=6.667hz

Julli [10]

Answer: D. plant more trees where forests are cut down.

Explanation:

Deforestation has to do with the cutting down of trees. Cutting down the forest reduces the size of animal habitats, increases erosion, and results in an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Ok order to tackle the above, it is necessary that we should plant more trees where forests are cut down.

Leap years _____. happen because the Earth revolves around the sun in less than 365 days make up for the extra one-fourth day th

anzhelika [568]

The Earth takes (365 and 1/4) days to orbit the sun. That's the length of our 'year'.

Since it's not really possible to make our calendar a quarter of a day longer every year, we make the calendar a <u><em>whole</em></u> day longer every 4 years.

So "Leap years" make up for the extra one-fourth day the Earth takes to orbit the sun.

Bob is studying waves in science and learns that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the waves amplit

Mrrafil [7]

For a simple harmonic motion energy is given with:
$E=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$
Where k is a constant that depends on the type of the wave you are looking at and A is amplitude.
Let's calculate the energy of the wave using two different amplitudes given in the problem:
$E_1=\frac{1}{2}k(1)^2=\frac{1}{2}k\\E_2=\frac{1}{2}k(2)^2=\frac{4}{2}k=2k\\$
We can see that energy associated with the wave is 4 times smaller when we decrease its amplitude by half. So the answer should be C.

A dart is inserted into a spring-loaded dart gun by pushing the spring in by a distance x. For the next loading, the spring is c

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The second dart leaves the gun two times as faster than the first one.

Explanation:

Assuming no energy loss during the spring-dart energy transfer, we have by the conservation of energy principle

$U_s = K_d \\ \frac{1}{2} kx^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\ v = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2}.$

Given an arbitrary $x$ and its double, $2x$ , launch velocities are

$v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2} \text{ and} \\ v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}\left(2x\right)^2} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}4x^2} = 2\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}x^2} = \mathbf{2v_1}.$
