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.

A(n) 60.3 g ball is dropped from a height of 53.7 cm above a spring of negligible mass. The ball compresses the spring to a maxi
Feliz [49]

Answer:

271.862 N/m

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

mgh = 1/2ke²............... Equation 1

Where

m = mass of the ball, g = acceleration due to gravity, k = spring constant, e = extension, h = height fro which the ball was dropped.

Making k the subject of the equation,

k =2mgh/k²....................... Equation 2

Note: The potential energy of the ball is equal to the elastic potential energy of the spring.

Given: m = 60.3 g = 0.0603 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², e = 4.68317 cm = 0.0468317 m, h = 53.7 cm = 0.537 m

Substitute into equation 2

k = 2(0.0603)(9.8)(0.537)/0.048317²

k = 0.6346696/0.0023345

k = 271.862 N/m
