Answer:

v = 2 cm/s

Explanation:

The equation of the wave is

y(x,t) = (2.0cm)*cos(2π*x−4π*t)

Where,

x is measured in cm

t in s

A more general formula for this equation would be

y(x,t) = A*cos(k*x−ω*t)

Where,

A = amplitude.

k = the wavenumber

ω = the angular frequency

The velocity of the wave corresponds to

v = ω/k

v = 4π / 2π = 2 cm/s

v = 2 cm/s

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit

Margaret [11]

Let us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.

Let they are separated by a distance of r from each other.

As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as - $F = G\frac{mm'}{r^{2} }$ where G is the gravitational force constant.

From the above we see that F ∝ mm' and $F\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }$

Let the orbital radius of planet A is $r_{1}$ = r and mass of planet is $m_{1}$ .

Let the mass of central star is m .

Hence the gravitational force for planet A is $f_{1} =G \frac{m_{1}*m }{r^{2} }$

For planet B the orbital radius $r_{2} =2r_{1}$ and mass $m_{2} = 3 m_{1}$

Hence the gravitational force $f_{2} =G\frac{m m_{2} }{r^{2} }$

$f_{2} =G\frac{m*3m_{1} }{[2r_{1}] ^{2} }$

$= \frac{3}{4} G\frac{mm_{1} }{r_{1} ^{2} }$

Hence the ratio is $\frac{f_{2} }{f_{1} } = \frac{\frac{3}{4}G mm_{1/r_{1} ^2} }{Gmm_{1}/r_{1} ^2 }$

$=\frac{3}{4}$ [ ans]

Ø=37°
Initial velocity=u=20m/s
g=10m/s²

#A

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=\dfrac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=\dfrac{20^2(sin37)^2}{2(10)}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=\dfrac{400sin^237}{20}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=20sin^237$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H_{max}=7.2m$

#B

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=\dfrac{u^2sin2\theta}{g}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=\dfrac{20^2sin74}{10}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=40sin74$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow R=38.5m$

#C

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=\dfrac{2usin\theta}{g}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=\dfrac{2(20)sin37}{10}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=4sin37$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow T=2.4s$

Now

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=u-gt$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=20-10(2.4)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=20-24$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow v=-4m/s$
