If the wave passes the putrefying pile of a poached pickerel in 0.5 seconds, then the wave has a period of 0.5s. 

But we say that if F=1/T,
where F⇒frequency,
          T⇒period.

F=1/0.5
  = 2Hz

velocity of the wave = distance/time taken
                                = (20÷100)/0.5
                                = 0.2÷0.5
                                = 2/5

Now form the wave equation,
V=λF 
Where V ⇒ velocity of the wave.
             λ⇒wavelength of the wave.
       
So, λ=V/F

    λ = 2/5 ÷ 2
       =2/5 ×1/2
       = 2/10
       =0.2 m

The wavelength in cm is, 0.2×100 = 20 cm.

The idea that earth was the center of the universe is an example of ---that has been long dicarded
Leni [432]

Answer:

Geocentric model of the universe

Explanation:

In the geocentric model of the universe, the earth is the center of the universe. This theory was later replaced by the heliocentric model which places the sun as the center.

This belief was propagated by the ancient Greeks. The geocentric model of the universe was proposed by Ptolemy.

The model suggests that other planetary bodies orbits the earth.

On a hot summer day, 3.50 ✕ 106 J of heat transfer into a parked car takes place, increasing its temperature from 36.5°C to 44.4
anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) \Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}

b) \Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}

Explanation:

a)

Given:

amount of heat transfer occurred,dQ=3.5\times 10^6\ J

initial temperature of car, T_i=36.5+273=309.5\ K

final temperature of car, T_f=44.4+273=317.4\ K

We know that the change in entropy is given by:

\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}

\Delta s=\frac{3.5\times 10^6}{(44.4-36.5)} (heat is transferred into the system of car)

\Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}

b)

amount of heat transfer form the system of house, dQ=5.8\times 10^8\ J

initial temperature of house, T_i=23.5+273=296.5\ K

final temperature of house, T_f=5.3+273=278.3\ K

\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}

\Delta s=\frac{5.8\times 10^8}{278.3-296.5}

\Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}

A motor running at 2600 rev/min is suddenly switched off and decelerates uniformly to rest after 10 s. Find the angular decelera
Mama L [17]
Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)

change in angular speed = (zero - 2,600 RPM)  =  -2,600 RPM

time for the change = 10 sec

Angular acceleration = -2600 RPM / 10 sec = -260 rev / min-sec

(-260 rev/min-sec) x (1 min / 60 sec) = <em>-(4 1/3)  rev / sec²</em>

Since the acceleration is negative, the motor is slowing down.
You might call that a 'deceleration' of (4 1/3) rev/sec² .

The average speed is  1/2(2,600 + 0) = 1,300 rev/min = (21 2/3) rev/sec.

Number of revs = (average speed) x (time) = (21 2/3) x (10sec) = <em>(216 2/3) revs</em>
