Correct option A

The wave speed remains constant.So if the frequency increases then wavelength increases and if frequency decreases then wavelength increases to maintain the constant wave speed.

Hope This Helps You!

Answer: The correct answer is " because the wave speed remains constant".

Explanation:

The expression of the wavelength in terms of the frequency is as follows;

$\lambda =\frac{c}{f}$

Here, c is the speed of the light, f is the frequency of the wave and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave.

The wavelength of the wave is inversely proportional to the frequency of the wave as the speed of the wave remains constant.

If the wavelength of the wave decreases then the frequency of the wave increases.

Therefore, the frequency of a wave increases as the wavelength decreases because the wave speed remains constant.

The correct option is (A).

Explain how an alpine glacier can change the topography of a mountainous area

igor_vitrenko [27]

An alpine glacier can change the topography of a mountainous area through Glacial Erosion and Glacial Deposition. Glaciers are agents of erosion, it can pick up and carry large rocks and sediments. In the process, a deep cavity or hole can form when the glacier plucks a big rock from where it passed. Glaciers have shaped many Mountain Ranges and have created distinct landforms by its erosion process. In Glacial Deposition, as glaciers melt, it deposits all that it carried and a landform is developed.

If you went to a planet that had the twice the radius as Earth, but the same mass, a 1 kg pineapple would have a weight of

kicyunya [14]

Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass m₁ and m₂ a distance r apart is

F = G m₁ m₂ / r²

where G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

F = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

F ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)g, where g = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

F = G m₁ m₂ / (2r)² = 1/4 G m₁ m₂ / r²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.

SP: Calculate the moment

ipn [44]

Answer:

Moment of the force is 20 N-m.

Explanation:

Given:

Force exerted by the person is, $F=80\ N$

Distance of application of force from the point about which moment is needed is, $d=25\ cm=\frac{25}{100}\ m=0.25\ m$

Now, we know that, moment of a force 'F' about a point at a perpendicular distance of 'd' from the same point is given as the product of the force and the perpendicular distance.

Therefore, the moment of the force about the end of the claw hammer is given as:

$M=F\times d\\\\M=(80\ N)(0.25\ m)\\\\M=20\textrm{ N-m}$
