What is a wave? Use the terms wavelength and frequency in your definition.

Physics
1 answer:
adelina 88 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.

Frequency

Wavelength etc

The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.

Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength

Two trains travel toward each other on the same track, beginning 100 miles apart. One train travels at 40 miles per hour; the ot
Paladinen [302]

D = distance between th two trains at the start of the motion = 100 miles

V = speed of the faster train towards slower train = 60 mph

v = speed of the slower train towards faster train = 40 mph

t = time taken by the two trains to collide = ?

time taken by the two trains to collide is given as

t = D/(V + v)

t = 100/(60 + 40) = 1 h

v' = speed of the bird = 90 mph

d = distance traveled by the bird

distance traveled by the bird is given as

d = v' t

d = 90 x 1

d = 90 miles

A ladder rests against a vertical wall at a point 12 feet from the floor. The angle formed by the ladder and the floor is 63°. C
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

Explanation:

given data

height h  = 12 feet

angle 63°

to find out

length of the ladder ( L) and length of wall to ladder ( A) and angle between  ladder and the wall

solution

we consider here angle between base of wall and floor is right angle

we apply here trigonometry rule that is

sin63 = h/L

put here value

L = 12 / sin63

L = 13.47

so length of the ladder is 13.47 feet

and

we can say

tan 63 = h / A

put here value

A = 12 / tan63

A = 6.10

so base of wall to latter distance 6.10 feet

and

we say here

tanθ = 6.10 / 12

θ = 26.95°

so angle between ladder and the wall is 26.95°

Use the galvanometers to determine the amount and direction of the induced current. Which galvanometer is
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Looking at the 3 galvanometer readings given above, for galvanometer A, the reading is -2 mA.

For galvanometer B, the reading is 4 mA.

While for galvanometer C, the reading is -5 MA

Thus, option B is correct.

Suppose we measure the energy stored in some inductor to be E when there is a current I running through it. If I double the curr
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).

Explanation:

The coil or inductor is a passive component made of an insulated wire that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field due to its form of coiled turns of wire, through a phenomenon called self-induction. In other words, inductors store energy in the form of a magnetic field. The energy stored in the space where there is a magnetic field in the inductor is:

E=\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}

where E is Energy [J], L is Inductance [H] and I is Current [A].

If you double the current in the inductor, then the new value of the current is I'= 2*I. So replacing the new total energy is:

E'=\frac{1}{2} *L*I'^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*(2*I)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*4*I^{2}=4*\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}

Then:

E'=4*E

<em><u>If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).</u></em>
