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

kaheart [24]
As an airplane moves through the air, its wings cause changes in the speed and pressure of the air moving past them. These changes result in the upward force called lift.

The Bernoulli principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in the pressure exerted by the fluid.

A wing is shaped and tilted so the air moving over it moves faster than the air moving under it. As air speeds up, its pressure goes down. So the faster-moving air above exerts less pressure on the wing than the slower-moving air below. The result is an upward push on the wing—lift!

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

1. Least massive stars are the coolest and least luminous, lower right of main sequence, on HR diagram.  

2. Most massive are the hottest and most luminous, upper left of main sequence on Hr Diagram.  

3. The radius of stars are related to their sprectral type. having the O being the hottest upper left and M being the coolest bottom right.
