second statement: As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter the wavelength is.

The relationship between the frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the equation:

v=λf, where v is the velocity of the wave, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.

If we divide the equation by f we get:

λ=v/f

From here we see that the wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. So as the frequency increases the wavelength decreases.

So the second statement is true: As the frequency of a wave increases, the shorter the wavelength is.

Answer:

$+1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

$\Delta t$ is the time interval in which the change in velocity occurs

To find the acceleration at 1 second, we can take the data at t = 1 s and t = 2. We find:

$\Delta t = -3 -(-4) = 1 s$

$\Delta v = 2 - (1) = +1 m/s$

So, the acceleration is

$a=\frac{+1}{1}=+1 m/s^2$

A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?

dolphi86 [110]

To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.

$I = MR^2$
