The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

       1 / (5 per second)  =  0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period.  But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

                   = (5 per second) x (1cm)  =  5 cm per second

Vector c has a magnitude 24.6 m and is in the direction of the negative y-axis. vectors a and b are at angles α = 41.4° and β
storchak [24]
The vector c has a magnitude of 24.6m and it is in the negative y direction. Therefore
\vec{c} = - 24.6 \hat{j}

The vector b is 41.4° up from the x-axis. Therefore
\vec{b} = b[cos(41.4^{o}) \hat{i} + sin(41.4^{o}) \hat{j} ] =b(0.75\hat{i} + 0.6613 \hat{j})

The vector a is 27.7° up from the x-axis. Therefore
\vec{a} = a[cos(22.7^{o})\hat{i} + sin(27.7^{o})\hat{j}] =  a(0.8854\hat{i} + 0.4648\hat{j})

Because \vec{a} +\vec{b} + \vec{c} = 0, the sum of the x and y components should be zero. Therefore,
For the x-component,
0.8854a + 0.75b = 0
 or
 a + 0.847b = 0                            (1)
For the y-component,
0.4648a + 0.6613b - 24.6 = 0
 or
 a + 1.4228b = 52.926                (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
0.5758b = 52.926
b = 91.917
a = -0.847b = -77.854

Answer:
The magnitude of vector a is -77.85 m
The magnitude of vector b is 91.92 m

A paper airplane is thrown westward at a rate of 6 m/s. The wind is blowing at 8 m/s towards the north. Which of the following d
Andrew [12]

since airplane is thrown towards west with speed 6 m/s

while air is blowing with speed 8 m/s towards north

so here the net speed of air plane will be the resultant of airplane speed and wind speed always

SO here we can say it would be a combination of vector along west with must be of length 6 m/s and other vector is towards north with is of length 8 m/s

so correct answer must be 1st option

Why does the light from the touch reach upto only certain distance
ad-work [718]
It is also likely (but not certain) that the photons will be absorbed by atoms. ... Light particles( or photons) never”run out” or loose their energy, so they can go an infinite distance, or until it reaches an object, that reflects the light or obsorbs it. Ie, a planet, or a mirror.

How large amount of energy is produced during the fission of uranium ​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

answer is a very large amount of energy is produced from a very small mass

Explanation:

nuclear energy is produced either by fusion or fission the former is fusion of lighter atoms into heavier elements while the letter is the splitting of a heavier atom into lighter atoms. both produce tremendous amount of energy fusion causes compassion of mass wild fission reduces it. and produce it. fusion does not produce radioactive particles while fission does (alpha and beta particles and neutrons)

The following force diagram represents Newton’s Third Law of Motion:
Julli [10]

Answer:

<u>FALSE.</u>

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that :

  • <em>Every action has equal and opposite reaction</em>
  • <em>That is , the magnitude is the same but the directions are opposite</em>
  • <em>The action reaction forces DONOT operate on the same body.</em>

For example ,

If a block is kept on the ground , the action force is the normal force acting on it due to the ground. <em>BUT , NOTE THAT : the reaction force isn't the gravitational force on the body ! It is the normal force acting on the ground due to the block !</em>

Thus,

we conclude that action and reaction forces donot act on the same body and therefore , this case has the <u>answer : FALSE </u>
