Wavelength of the water wave is 8 m

Explanation:

Wavelength measures the distance between two successive crests or troughs of the wave. It is given by the following equation

λ = v/f, where f is the frequency, v is the velocity of the wave

Here, v = 20 m/s and f = 2.5 Hz

⇒ λ = 20/2.5

= 8 m

A nonzero net force acts on a particle and does work. Which one of the following statements is true?

arlik [135]

Answer:

option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

According to the work energy theorem, the work done by all forces is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the body.

the kinetic energy of a body is directly proportional to the square of the speed of the body.

As the kinetic energy change, the speed of the body also change.

Option (D) is correct.

6. Sandy adds 3 sugar packets to her tea in order to make it sweeter. She stirs in the sugar and then takes a sip. She notices t

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

C.Supersaturated

Explanation:

There are three types of solution:

SATURATED SOLUTION:

It is the solution that contains maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solution in normal conditions.

UNSATURATED SOLUTION:

It is the solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solution in normal conditions. It has space for more solute to be dissolved in it.

SUPERSATURATED SOLUTION:

It contains more than the maximum amount of solute dissolved in it. Such a solution has no capacity to dissolve any more solute under any conditions.

Since the sugar is no more dissolving in the tea and has settled down. Therefore, the solution is:

C.Supersaturated

A uniform ladder 5.0 m long rests against a frictionless, vertical wall with its lower end 3.0 m from the wall. The ladder weigh

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Reaction force of the ground

R = mg

= 160 N

Maximum friction force possible

= μ x R

= μ x 160

= .4 x 160

= 64 N .

b )

160 N will act at middle point . 740N will act at distance of 3 / 5 m from the wall ,

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3/5 + f x 4 = 900 x 3

240 + 444 + 4f = 2700

f = 504 N

c )

Let x be the required distance.

Taking moment about top point of ladder

160 x 1.5 + 740 x 3 x / 5 + .4 x 900 x 4 = 900 x 3 ( .4 x 900 is the maximum friction possible )

240 + 444 x + 1440 = 2700

x = 2.3 m

so man can go upto 2.3 at which maximum friction acts .

How will frost on the wings of an airplane affect takeoff performance?

san4es73 [151]

Frost will disturb the smooth flow of air over the wing, unpleasantly distressing its lifting competence. In other words, this spoils the even flow of air over the wings, by this means decreasing lifting capability. Also, frost may avoid the airplane from becoming flying at normal departure speed.
