Answer : The frequency decreases by a factor of 2.

Explanation :

Given that the wave travels at a constant speed. The speed of the wave is given as :

$v=\nu\times \lambda$

Where

υ is the frequency of the wave

and λ is the wavelength of the wave.

In this case, the speed is constant. So, the relation between the frequency and the wavelength is inverse.

$\nu\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$

If the wavelength increases by a factor of 2, its frequency will decrease by a factor of 2.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " The frequency decreases by a factor of 2 ".

Jonathan must lift a 3000n rock using a lever. jonathan uses 300n of force to push down on the lever to move the rock. what is t

-Dominant- [34]

The load is the weight of the rock that Jonathan lifts:
$L=3000 N$
The effort instead is the force applied in input to the lever in order to lift the rock:
$E=300 N$

So, the ratio between load and effort for this exercise is
$\frac{L}{E}= \frac{3000 N}{300 N}=10$
So, the ratio is 10:1.

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the

nydimaria [60]

Answer: a) the greater speed for the ball is getting with the large radius of the circle. b) 1.68* 10 ^3 m/s^2 c) 1.25*10^3 m/s^2

Explanation: In order to solve this problem firstly we have to consider that speed in a of the circular movement is directly the angular rotation multiply the radius of the circle so by this we found that the second radius get large speed.

Secondly to calculate the centripetal acceleration for the ball we have to considerer the relationship given by:

acceleration in a circular movement= ω^2*r

a1= (8.44 *2*π)^2*r1=1.68 *10^3 m/s^2

a2= (5.95*2*π)^2*r2=1.25*10^3 m/s^2

What is a period in physics?<br>

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The period of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle. Period, being a time, is measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days or years. The period of orbit for the Earth around the Sun is approximately 365 days; it takes 365 days for the Earth to complete a cycle.
