A sound wave has a frequency of 250 Hz and a wavelength of 2.5 m. What is the speed of the wave?
Digiron [165]

ANSWER

625 m/s

EXPLANATION

Given:

• The frequency of the sound wave, f = 250 Hz

,

• The wavelength, λ = 2.5 m

Find:

• The speed of the wave, v

The speed of a wave of wavelength λ and frequency f is given by,

v=f\cdot\lambda

Substitute the known values and solve,

v=250Hz\cdot2.5m=625m/s

Hence, the speed of the wave is 625 m/s.

According to the diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum shown, what would best represent the
iren2701 [21]

The  best represent the size of visible light will be C. Protozoa

The electromagnetic spectrum, gives the overall distribution of electromagnetic radiation by the  frequency or wavelength. All EM waves travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, but over a wide range of frequencies, wavelengths, and photon energies.

Visible light wavelengths cover the range of approximately 0.4 to 0.7 μm. electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can see is the Visible light. Visible light is a form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, along with radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and microwaves. the wavelengths that are visible to most human eyes is generally known as Visible light

the best represent the size of visible light is Protozoa, According to the diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum shown,

What are the average velocity and average acceleration of the tip of a 2.4 cm long hour hand of a clock?
ra1l [238]
A circle has a revolution of 360°. Since there are 12 hour markings, each hour interval has an angle of 30°. In radians, that would be equal to π/6 radians. So, in every 1 hour that passes, it covers π/6 of an angle. So, the angular velocity denoted as ω is π/6 ÷ 1 hour = π/6 rad/h. We can compute the average linear velocity, v, from the relationship:

v = rω, where r is the radius of the circle which is the length of the hour hand
v = (2.4 cm)(π/6 rad/h)
v = 1.257 cm/hour

Therefore, the average velocity is 1.257 cm per hour.

For the average acceleration, it is equal to zero. The hands of the clock move at a constant velocity. Since acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time, there is no change of velocity because it's constant. That's why it is zero.
