Answer:

The frequency of wave is 160Hz.

Explanation:

Given that the formula of speed is V = f×λ where V represents speed, f is frequency and λ is wavelength.

So first thing, you have to make frequency the subject by dividing wavelength on both sides :

$v = f \times λ \:$

$v \div λ = f \times λ \div λ$

$f = \frac{v}{λ}$

Next you have to substitute the value of v and f into the formula :

Let λ = 2.5m,

Let v = 400m/s,

$f = \frac{400}{2.5}$

$f = 160Hz$

A mover loads a crate onto a truck bed 1.6m from the street using a ramp that is 4.6m long. What is a mechanical advantage?

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 2.875

Explanation:

Given:

A diagram is shown below for the above scenario.

Length of ramp (Effort arm) = 4.6 m

Height of truck bed ( Resistance length) = 1.6 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) is the ratio of effort arm and resistance length.

So, mechanical advantage is given as,

$MA=\frac{\textrm{Effort arm}}{\textrm{Resistance length}}= \frac{4.6}{1.6}=2.875$

Part complete How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per five seconds?

shtirl [24]

Answer:

$L=6.21m$

Explanation:

For the simple pendulum problem we need to remember that:

$\frac{d^{2}\theta}{dt^{2}}+\frac{g}{L}sin(\theta)=0$ ,

where $\theta$ is the angular position, t is time, g is the gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum. We also need to remember that there is a relationship between the angular frequency and the length of the pendulum:

$\omega^{2}=\frac{g}{L}$ ,

where $\omega$ is the angular frequency.

There is also an equation that relates the oscillation period and the angular frequeny:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$ ,

where T is the oscillation period. Now, we can easily solve for L:

$(\frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}=\frac{g}{L}\\\\L=g(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=9.8(\frac{5}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=6.21m$

The force of ________ is the force at which the earth attracts another object towards itself.

antiseptic1488 [7]

The correct option is C. Gravity, and the complete sentence is: "The force of gravity is the force at which the Earth attracts another object towards itself". In fact, the force of gravity between two objects is given by
 $F= \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$ 
where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 the masses of the two objects, r their separation. If we take the Earth as one of the two objects, then m1 represents the Earth's mass, m2 the mass of the object and r the distance between the center of Earth and the object, and F is the gravitational force at which the Earth attracts the object.

How do dog whistles work?

Alchen [17]

The sound it emits comes from what is known as the ultrasonic range, a pitch that is so high humans can't hear it. Dogs can hear these sounds, however, as can cats and other animals. Because of this, the dog whistle is a favored training tool, though it may not be for every dog parent.
