Answer:

The velocity of wave=2.5 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

The distance between successive wave crest=\lambda=12m

Time =2.8 s

We have to find the the velocity of wave.

Frequency of wave=\nu=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{4.8} s=0.2083 Hz

The relation between frequency, wavelength and velocity is given by

\lambda=\frac{v}{\nu}

12=\frac{v}{\frac{1}{4.8}}

v=12\times \frac{1}{4.8}=2.5 m/s

Hence, the velocity of wave= 2.5 m/s

A conservative force does the same work regardless of the path taken.
ella [17]

A conservative force is a force that when work is done against this force the work done does not depend on the path taken only the initial and final position.

where the units of x are length and the numbers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the
KiRa [710]

Answer:

x = 1.00486 m

Explanation:

The complete question is:

" The potential energy between two atoms in a particular molecule has the form U(x) =(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4 where the units of x are length and the num- bers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the equilibrium separation of the atoms (that is the distance at which the force between the atoms is zero)?  "

Solution:

- The correlation between force F and energy U is given as:

                                  F = - dU / dx

                                  F = - d[(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4] / dx  

                                  F = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

- The equilibrium separation distance between atoms is given when Force F is zero:

                                  0 = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

                                  0 = 20.8 - 20.4*x^4

                                  x^4 = 20.8/20.4

                                  x = ( 20.8/20.4 )^0.25

                                  x = 1.00486 m

Tju [1.3M]
Every organism may classified into seven level of classifications, such that each level contains organisms with similar characteristics. Kingdom is the largest and the broadest level of classification while species is the smallest and most specific level of classification. Therefore from the largest to the smallest the order is as follows:
