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.

David is driving a steady 30.0 m/s when he passes Tina, who is sitting in her car at rest. Tina begins to accelerate at a steady

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let after time t , Tina catches up David .

Distance travelled by them are equal ,

Distance travelled by Tina

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

= .5 x 2.10 t²

= 1.05 t²

Distance travelled by David

= 30 t ( because of uniform velocity )

1.05 t² = 30t

t = 28.57 s

Distance travelled by Tina

= 1/2 a t²

= .5 x 2.10 x 28.57²

= 857 m approx.

Please help me with this physics prooblem

zaharov [31]

Take the missile's starting position to be the origin. Assuming the angles given are taken to be counterclockwise from the positive horizontal axis, the missile has position vector with components

$x=v_0\cos20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_xt^2$

$y=v_0\sin20.0^\circ t+\dfrac12a_yt^2$

The missile's final position after 9.20 s has to be a vector whose distance from the origin is 19,500 m and situated 32.0 deg relative the positive horizontal axis. This means the final position should have components

$x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\cos32.0^\circ$

$y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=(19,500\,\mathrm m)\sin32.0^\circ$

So we have enough information to solve for the components of the acceleration vector, $a_x$ and $a_y$ :

$x_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_x(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_x=21.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

$y_{9.20\,\mathrm s}=\left(1810\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\sin20.0^\circ(9.20\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12a_y(9.20\,\mathrm s)^2\implies a_y=110\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

The acceleration vector then has direction $\theta$ where

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{a_y}{a_x}\implies\theta=79.2^\circ$
