A.The Frequency decreases by a factor of 2.

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 ".

The astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet Eris suggests there might be another object far beyond the Kupier belt. If this P
PolarNik [594]

These objects would be classified as extreme trans Neptunian object (ETNO).

Explanation:

ETNO’s are the objects lying beyond the planet Neptune and orbiting the Sun. They follow a highly eccentric path which is tilted. ETNO has been grouped into three major according to their respective perihelia.  

Within this region (beyond Neptune’s orbit), a hypothetical planet has been discovered. It was discovered following its gravitational effect on the other objects of Kuiper Belt (region beyond the orbit of the Neptune- the last planet of our Solar system)

The Planet is assumed to be around 2 times the Earth’s size and around 10 times heavier than Earth.

A 0.3-kg object connected to a light spring with a force constant of 19.3 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface. A
Ghella [55]

The total work <em>W</em> done by the spring on the object as it pushes the object from 6 cm from equilibrium to 1.9 cm from equilibrium is

<em>W</em> = 1/2 (19.3 N/m) ((0.060 m)² - (0.019 m)²) ≈ 0.031 J

That is,

• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.060 m)² ≈ 0.035 J by pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the equilibrium point

• the spring would perform 1/2 (19.3 N/m) (0.019 m)² ≈ 0.0035 J by pushing the object from the 1.9 cm position to equilbrium

so the work done in pushing the object from the 6 cm position to the 1.9 cm position is the difference between these.

By the work-energy theorem,

<em>W</em> = ∆<em>K</em> = <em>K</em>

where <em>K</em> is the kinetic energy of the object at the 1.9 cm position. Initial kinetic energy is zero because the object starts at rest. So

<em>W</em> = 1/2 <em>mv</em> ²

where <em>m</em> is the mass of the object and <em>v</em> is the speed you want to find. Solving for <em>v</em>, you get

<em>v</em> = √(2<em>W</em>/<em>m</em>) ≈ 0.46 m/s
