For any wave . . . <em>Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)</em>

For this wave . . .

Speed = (16/s) x (9 mm)

<em>Speed = 144 mm/s</em> or 0.144 m/s

Linda is a forensic scientist arriving at the crime scene. What must she do before she can examine the crime scene?

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

In the more scientific viewpoint, the most important thing that she must do is caring for her hygiene and put some plastic gloves in her hands.

This is because there are lots of particles that can be retained in the hands (dust, skin, etc), and when examining the scene, she may drop some of these particles, "contaminating" the scene in this way with information that only will affect the investigation.

So the most important thing is being prepared to not affect anything in the crime scene

A meter stick is free to rotate about an axis through one of its end. Find the force F needed to balance this meter stick if the

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Component of force perpendicular to stick

= F Sin 60°

=√3 / 2 F.

Taking torque about the other end

= √3 / 2 F x 1 Nm

Weight of stick = 60 gm

= 60 x 10⁻³ kg

= 60 x 10⁻³ x 9.8 N

= .588 N

This weight will act from the middle point of stick so torque about the

other end

= .588 x 1 Nm

Balancing these two torques we have

.588 = √3 /2 F

$F=\frac{2\times0.588}{\sqrt{3} }$

F = 0.679 N

The spring is compressed a total of 3.0 cm, and used to set a 500 gram cart into motion. Find the speed of the cart at the insta

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

1.15 m/s

Explanation:

Part of the question is missing. Found the missing part on google:

"1. A hanging mass of 1500 grams compresses a spring 2.0 cm. Find the spring constant in N/m."

Solution:

First of all, we need to find the spring constant. We can use Hooke's law:

$F=kx$

where

$F=mg=(1.5 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14.7 N$ is the force applied to the spring (the weight of the hanging mass)

x = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m is the compression of the spring

Solving for k, we find the spring constant:

$k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{14.7}{0.02}=735 N/m$

In the second part of the problem, the spring is compressed by

x = 3.0 cm = 0.03 m

So the elastic potential energy of the spring is

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}(735)(0.03)^2=0.33 J$

This energy is entirely converted into kinetic energy of the cart, which is:

$U=K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg is the mass of the cart

v is its speed

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.33)}{0.5}}=1.15 m/s$

The energy of the wave will decrease.

The energy of a wave is given as

E = h f

where E = energy of waver

h = plank's constant

f = frequency of the wave.

From the formula , we see that the energy of the wave is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave. hence as the frequency of the wave decrease, the energy of the wave will decrease.
