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 ".

Answer:

$KE_2=3.24 \times KE_1$

Explanation:

given,

Speed of car = v

new speed of car v'= 1.8 v

Kinetic energy of the car

$KE_1 =\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

new Kinetic energy of energy

$KE_2 =\dfrac{1}{2}mv'^2$

$KE_2=\dfrac{1}{2}m(1.8v)^2$

$KE_2=3.24 \times \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE_2=3.24 \times KE_1$

hence, the kinetic energy is increased by the factor of 3.24.

Which term means the distance between two bridge supports?

Ad libitum [116K]

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet, and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

Ber [7]

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A Law is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.

Unlike theory, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it.

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.
