Answer: Taking into account sound is a wave, we can use the information of the displacement (generally given as a graph) to find the wavelength and frequency, then we can calculate the speed with the formula of the speed of a wave.

Explanation:

If we have the displacement graph of the sound wave, we can find its amplitude, its wavelength and period (which is the inverse of frequency).

Now, if we additionally have the frequency as data, we can use the equation of the speed of a wave:

$s=\lambda f$

Where:

$s$ is the speed of the sound wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$f$ is the frequency

A sailboat is traveling across the ocean with a speed of 4 m/s when large gusts of wind pick up that starts to accelerate the sa

MatroZZZ [7]

Initial velocity, u = 4 m/s

acceleration due to gusts of wind = 3 m/s^2

time, t = 1 min = 60 s

Let distance travelled = S

From equation of motion,

$S = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2} \\ \\ S = 4 \times 60 + \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times {60}^{2} \\ \\ S = 240 + 5400 \\ \\ S = 5640 \: m$

Thus, the boat would have traveled 5640m after gusts picked up.

When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion? *

Ganezh [65]

+1 An electron has a negative charge so losing a charge of -1 from an uncharged, or neutral, atom will leave an ion with a positive charge.
