For any wave, the product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave.  So if you were able to change the wavelength somehow, the frequency would automatically change, in the opposite direction but by the SAME FACTOR, so that their product would stay the same.

If the frequency of a sound changes (and we're close enough to listen to it), our brain interprets that as a change of pitch, in the same direction as the frequency changed.

The change in momentum that occurs when a 1. 0 kg ball traveling at 4. 0 m/s strikes a wall and bounces back at 2. 0 m/s is.
Doss [256]

Answer:

The change is momentum is given by ∆p=p(inital) - p(final) =4-2=2 kg.m/s

Explanation:

momentum is the product of mass and velocity (speed)

So it's initial momentum would be:

p=mv=(1)(4)=4 kg.m/s

It's final momentum is given by:

p=mv=(1)(2)=2 kg.m/s

You dip your finger into a pan of water twice each second, producing waves with crests that are separated by 0.15 m. Determine t
PIT_PIT [208]

Frequency = rate of sploosh = 2 per second  =  2 Hz.

Period = ( 1/frequency ) =  1/2  second

Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (0.15m) x ( 2/sec) = 0.075 m/s .

Bond [772]

Answer:

v = 66 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a car, u = 0

Acceleration of the car, a = 11 m/s²

We need to find the final velocity of the toy after 6 seconds.

Let v is the final velocity. It can be calculated using first equation of motion. It is given by :

v = u +at

v = 0 + 11 m/s² × 6 s

v = 66 m/s

So, the final velocity of the car is 66 m/s.

VMariaS [17]

Answer: 1,600 seconds

Explanation:

31,360/9.8 = 3,200.

Then divide 3,200/2 = 1,600
