A wave with a fequency of 12 hz has a wavelength of 1.5 meter. at what speed will this wave travel?

1 answer:

5 0

V used to denote speed of the wave

Is determined by the product of the wave’s frequency and wavelength.

The number of times a wave oscillates or repeats again and again multiplied by the distance.

V = 12 • 1.5 = 12 • 3/2 = 18 m/s

The speed of the wave is 18 m/s.

-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

$s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}$ ...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

$2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}$

When x = 40, $s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}$

$x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s$

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

leonid [27]

So first things first its c. because when two plates collide it causes a earthquake so u can rule those out and of course no not volcano so that's it u only have c left as your answer choice.

A water wave has a frequency of 2 Hertz and a wavelength of 5 cm. Calculate it speed

Llana [10]

Answer: 0.1 m/s

Explanation:

Use formula,

v = f * w where, v is speed, f is frequency and w is wavelength.

Now,

v = 2 * 5 * 10 ^ -2 ( Remember to convert all the units to SI units. Here 5 cm becomes 5 * 10 ^ -2 m. )

v = 0.1 m/s.

Explanation:

Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.

In the context,

The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$
