The greater the distance over which a force is applied, the greater the work done.

A wave travels at 295 m/s and has a wavelength of 2.50 m. What is the frequency of the wave?

Answer:

$118\; \rm Hz$ .

Explanation:

The frequency $f$ of a wave is equal to the number of wave cycles that go through a point on its path in unit time (where "unit time" is typically equal to one second.)

The wave in this question travels at a speed of $v= 295\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ . In other words, the wave would have traveled $295\; \rm m$ in each second. Consider a point on the path of this wave. If a peak was initially at that point, in one second that peak would be

How many wave cycles can fit into that $295\; \rm m$ ? The wavelength of this wave $\lambda = 2.50\; \rm m$ gives the length of one wave cycle. Therefore:

$\displaystyle \frac{295\;\rm m}{2.50\; \rm m} = 118$ .

That is: there are $118$ wave cycles in $295\; \rm m$ of this wave.

On the other hand, Because that $295\; \rm m$ of this wave goes through that point in each second, that $118$ wave cycles will go through that point in the same amount of time. Hence, the frequency of this wave would be

Because one wave cycle per second is equivalent to one Hertz, the frequency of this wave can be written as:

$f = 118\; \rm s^{-1} = 118\; \rm Hz$ .

The calculations above can be expressed with the formula:

$\displaystyle f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$ ,

where

$v$ represents the speed of this wave, and
$\lambda$ represents the wavelength of this wave.

The new gravitation force at the new location is 40 N

Explanation:

The weight of the astronaut is given by the equation

$F=mg$ (1)

where

m is the mass of the astronaut

g is the acceleration of gravity

The acceleration of gravity at a certain distance $r$ from the centre of the Earth is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

where G is the gravitational constant and M is the Earth's mass. So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}$

When the astronaut is on the Earth's surface, $r=R$ (where R is the Earth's radius), so his weight is

$F=\frac{GMm}{R^2}=640 N$

Later, he moves to another location where his distance from the Earth's surface is 3 times the previous distance, so the new distance from the Earth's centre is

$r'=3R+R=4R$
