Answer:
a) The average velocity is 32 m/s
b) See the attached figure. Slope of the line = 32.
Graphic: a line that passes through the points (0; 50) and (5; 210)
Explanation:
a) The average velocity is calculated as the displacement over time:
v = ΔX / Δt
where
ΔX : displacement ( final position - initial position)
Δt : time (final time - initial time)
Considering the origin of the reference system as the position where the observer is:
ΔX = 210 m - 50 m = 160 m
Δt = 5 s
v = 160 m / 5 s = 32 m/s
b) In the graphic position vs time, plot a line that passes through the points (0, 50) (because at time 0, the car is 50 m away from you, the center of the reference system) and (5, 210). The x-axis, time, is in seconds and the y-axis, position, in meters. The slope of the line is calculated as:
slope = (X₂ - X₁) /(t₂ - t₁) = (210 - 50) / (5 - 0) = 32. Then, the velocity is equal to the slope of the line. See the attached figure.
Answer:
Incorrect statement is (b).
Explanation:
Option (a) : There is an inverse relation between the time and the frequency. The time taken depends on the frequency of the number of oscillations. Statement 1 is correct i.e. the time taken by any point of the wave to make one complete oscillation does not depend on the amplitude.
Option (b) : Speed of a wave is given by the product of its frequency and wavelength. It is not necessary that doubling the wavelength of the wave will halve its frequency as speed depends on the medium.
Option (c) : Doubling the amplitude has no effect on on the wavelength as amplitude does not depends on its wavelength.
Option (d) : Since,
Speed is directly proportional to the frequency and wavelength. So, doubling the frequency of the wave will double its speed. So, the incorrect statement is (b).
