Answer:

as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields, described by maxwell's equations, the speed of the wave is called the speed of light

c = λ f

E = E cos (kx - wt)

Angular velocity is related to frequency and period.

w = 2π f = 2π / T

Let's analyze what happens when the wave period decreases, angular velocity and frequency increase.

This increase in frequency is reflected with the Planck equation in wave energy

E = h f

Therefore the wave carries more energy and can lead to stronger interactions with matter.

In summary, as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase

A car travels a distance of 100 km. For the first 30 minutes it is driven at a constant speed of 80 km/hr. The motor begins to v

gregori [183]

Explanation:

First, we need to determine the distance traveled by the car in the first 30 minutes, $d_{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

Notice that the unit measurement for speed, in this case, is km/hr. Thus, a unit conversion of from minutes into hours is required before proceeding with the calculation, as shown below

$d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ \text{speed} \ \times \ \text{time taken} \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 80 \ \text{km h}^{-1} \ \times \ \left(\displaystyle\frac{30}{60} \ \text{h}\right) \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 80 \ \text{km h}^{-1} \ \times \ 0.5 \ \text{h} \\ \\ \\ d_{\frac{1}{2}\text{h}} \ = \ 40 \ \text{km}$

Now, it is known that the car traveled 40 km for the first 30 minutes. Hence, the remaining distance, $d_{\text{remain}}$ , in which the driver reduces the speed to 40km/hr is

$d_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 100 \ \text{km} \ - \ 40 \ \text{km} \\ \\ \\ d_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 60 \ \text{km}$ .

Subsequently, we would also like to know the time taken for the car to reach its destination, denoted by $t_{\text{remian}}$ .

$t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \\ \\ \\ t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{60 \ \text{km}}{40 \ \text{km hr}^{-1}} \\ \\ \\ t_{\text{remain}} \ = \ 1.5 \ \text{hours}$ .

Finally, with all the required values at hand, the average speed of the car for the entire trip is calculated as the ratio of the change in distance over the change in time.

$\text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{100 \ \text{km}}{(0.5 \ \text{hr} \ + \ 1.5 \ \text{hr})} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ \displaystyle\frac{100 \ \text{km}}{2 \ \text{hr}} \\ \\ \\ \text{speed} \ = \ 50 \ \text{km hr}^{-1}$

Therefore, the average speed of the car is 50 km/hr.

finlep [7]

Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation:

Apply the formula:

Voltage = I (current) . Resistance

You can change it the way you want to use for your purpose.

In this case...

R = V/I

R = 12/3

R = 4 Ohms (Ohm is the unit of measurement of eletrical resistance)

A trombone can produce pitches ranging from 85 Hz to 660 Hz approximately. When the trombone is producing a 562 Hz tone, what is

tester [92]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of wavelength, which warns that this is equivalent to the relationship between the speed of the air (in this case in through the air) and the frequency of that wave. The air is in standard conditions so we have the relation,

Frequency $= f = 562Hz$
