As per the question the time period of the wave is 0.008 s.

we have to calculate the frequency of the wave.

Before going to calculate the frequency of the wave first we have to understand the frequency.

Frequency of a wave is defined as the number of waves passing through a point in unit time.

Time period of a wave means time taken by a wave for one complete vibration or oscillation.

The relation between frequency and wave is given as frequency is the reciprocal of time period.

Mathematically we can say $frequency[ f]=\frac{1}{T}$

$= \frac{1}{0.008s}$

=125 Hz [ans]

The formula for frequency is f = 1/T where f is frequency and T is period in seconds.
You have you period which is 0.008s and that is all you will need to solve or frequency in a wave:
f = 1/2
f = 1/0.008s
f = 125Hz

A point charge q1 is held stationary at the origin. A second charge q2 is placed at point a, and the electric potential energy o

likoan [24]

Answer:

$U_{b}=+7.3*10^{-8}J$

Explanation:

Given data

Electric potential at point a is Ua=5.4×10⁻⁸J

q₂ moves to point b where a negative work done on it $W_{a-b}=-1.9*10^{-8}J$

Required

Electric potential energy Ub

Solution

When a particle moves from a point where the potential is Ua to a point where it is Ub the change in potential energy is equal to work done where the force exerted on the charge is conservative and work done is given by:

$W_{a-b}=U_{a}-U_{b}\\U_{b}=U_{a}-W_{a-b}$

Now substitute the given values

$U_{b}=5.4*10^{-8}J-(-1.9*10^{-8}J)\\U_{b}=+7.3*10^{-8}J$

Which does not contain a lens?

Nutka1998 [239]

<span>A lens is a piece of glass or other transparent substance with curved sides for concentrating or dispersing light rays, used singly (as in a magnifying glass) or with other lenses (as in a telescope). A binoculars, an eye, and a camera all contains a lens. A mirror does not contain a lens.</span>

A 2.0 µF capacitor is charged through a 50,000 ohm resistor. How long does it take for the capacitor to reach 90% of full charge

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

0.23 s

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the time constant of the circuit:

$\tau=RC$

where

$R=50,000 \Omega$ is the resistance

$C=2.0\mu F=2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F$ is the capacitance

Substituting,

$\tau=(50,000 \Omega)(2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F)=0.1 s$

The charge on a charging capacitor is given by

$Q(t)=Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau} )$ (1)

where

$Q_0$ is the full charge

we want to find the time t at which the capacitor reaches 90% of the full charge, so the time t at which

$Q(t)=0.90 Q_0$

Substituting this into eq.(1) we find

$0.90 Q_0 = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})\\0.90=1-e^{-t/\tau}\\e^{-t/\tau}=1-0.90=0.10\\-\frac{t}{\tau}=ln(0.10)\\t=-\tau ln(0.10)=(0.1 s)ln(0.10)=0.23 s$

Explain the difference between rotation and revolution. Then use these terms to explain how earth

natima [27]

Answer:

The difference between rotations and revolutions is , when an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an object circles an external axis (like the Earth circles the sun) it is called a revolution.

Explanation:

While rotation means spinning around its own axis, revolution means to move around another object. Taking the example of the Earth, which rotates 366 times to complete one revolution around the Sun.
