What is the formula for calculating wave speed?

2 answers:

Wavelength is also measured in meters (m) - it is a length after all. The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.

Determine the frequency and the speed of these waves. The wavelength is 8.6 meters and the period is 6.2 seconds. Now find speed using the v = f. λ equation.

scoray [572]

Answer:

A)s = 104.16 m

b)s= 104.16 m

Explanation:

Given that

u = 25 m/s

μ = 0.3

The friction force will act opposite to the direction of motion.

Fr= μ m g

Fr= - m a

a=acceleration

μ m g = - m a

a= - μ g

a= - 0.3 x 10 m/s² ( take g= 10 m/s²)

a= - 3 m/s²

The final speed of the mass is zero ,v= 0

We know that

v² = u² +2 a s

s=distance

0² = 25² - 2 x 3 x s

625 = 6 s

s = 104.16 m

By using energy conservation

Work done by all the forces =Change in the kinetic energy

$- Fr.s=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2$

Negative sign because force act opposite to the displacement.

$- \mu\ m\ g \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2$

$-\mu\ g \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}v^2-\dfrac{1}{2}u^2$

$-0.3\times 10\times \ s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 25^2$

- 3 x 2 x s = - 625

s= 104.16 m

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

We are given x= bt +ct²

A. bxt= m

Because m/s*s= m

So b= m/s and c= m/s²

x= bt-ct²

So at x=0 t=0

x=0 t= 2

We have

bt = ct² so t = b/c at x= 0

So b-2ct= 0

B. To find velocity we use

dx / dt = b - 2 Ct

C. At rest wen V= 0

We have t= b/2c

D. To find acceleration we use

dv / dt = - 2C
