Physics

slamgirl [31]4 years ago

<span>Because of the density of the paperclip it sinks, but even though a boat is normally made of steal it contains an opposite force of gravity known as buoyancy. Buoyancy is the reason that a boat will float.  Boat density is less weight than the water they are in so this is one reason that they are floaters.</span>

If a wave has a frequency of 2 HZ what would it be in seconds?
gavmur [86]

Frequency is not a length of time.  It's exactly the opposite.
Frequency tells you how often something happens.  In fact,
the unit 'Hz' means 'per second'.

   Frequency of 2 Hz means "It happens at 2 per second."

The time it takes for the thing to happen once is exactly the
'reciprocal' of the frequency ... ' 1 ' divided by the frequency.

If the frequency is  2 Hz, then the thing happens every 1/2 second.

If the frequency is 74 Hz, then it happens every  1/74 of a second.

If the frequency is 1 KiloHz, then it happens every  1/1000 second.
