Answer:
Explanation: Speed = Wavelength x Wave Frequency. In this equation, wavelength is measured in meters and frequency is measured in hertz (Hz), .
Answer:
<em>No, a rigid body cannot experience any acceleration when the resultant force acting on the body is zero.</em>
Explanation:
If the net force on a body is zero, then it means that all the forces acting on the body are balanced and cancel out one another. This sate of equilibrium can be static equilibrium (like that of a rigid body), or dynamic equilibrium (that of a car moving with constant velocity)
For a body under this type of equilibrium,
ΣF = 0 ...1
where ΣF is the resultant force (total effective force due to all the forces acting on the body)
For a body to accelerate, there must be a force acting on it. The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied, for a constant mass of the body. The relationship between the net force and mass is given as
ΣF = ma ...2
where m is the mass of the body
a is the acceleration of the body
Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, we have
0 = ma
therefore,
a = 0
this means that<em> if the resultant force acting on a rigid body is zero, then there won't be any force available to produce acceleration on the body.</em>

Answer:
1.17 m
Explanation:
From the question,
s₁ = vt₁/2................ Equation 1
Where s₁ = distance of the reflecting object for the first echo, v = speed of the sound in air, t₁ = time to dectect the first echo.
Given: v = 343 m/s, t = 0.0115 s
Substitute into equation 1
s₁ = (343×0.0115)/2
s₁ = 1.97 m.
Similarly,
s₂ = vt₂/2.................. Equation 2
Where s₂ = distance of the reflecting object for the second echo, t₂ = Time taken to detect the second echo
Given: v = 343 m/s, t₂ = 0.0183 s
Substitute into equation 2
s₂ = (343×0.0183)/2
s₂ = 3.14 m
The distance moved by the reflecting object from s₁ to s₂ = s₂-s₁
s₂-s₁ = (3.14-1.97) m = 1.17 m
Answer:
The boundaries cause the waves to change direction an effect called <u>refraction.</u>
Explanation:
When a wave crosses a boundary between different materials, the speed of the wave and its wavelength changes.When passing from air to water the two properties (speed and wavelength) decreases, and the wave is observed to change direction as it crosses the boundary between the two material.The bending of the wave is called refraction.
