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

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m

The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.

For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.

\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=0.209\ m\\\\\lambda=0.418\ m

Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.

f=\dfrac{2.57}{4.47}\\\\f=0.574\ Hz

Now we can find the velocity of the wave.

Velocity = frequency × wavelength

v = 0.574 × 0.418

v = 0.239 m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.

A system had 150 kj of work done on it and its internal energy increased by 60 kj. How much energy did the system gain or lose a
mina [271]

Answer:

The system loses 90 kJ of heat

Explanation:

We can answer the question by using the 1st law of thermodynamics, which states that:

\Delta U=Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released by the system)

W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding on the system)

In this problem, we have:

W=-150 kJ is the work done (negative, because it is done by the surrounding on the system)

\Delta U=+60 kJ is the increase in internal energy

Using the equation above, we can find Q, the heat absorbed/released by the system:

Q=\Delta U+W=+60 kJ+(-150 kJ)=-90 kJ

And the negative sign means that the system has lost this heat.

A small current element carrying a current of I = 1.00 A is placed at the origin given by d → l = 4.00 m m ^ j Find the magnetic
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

the magnitude and direction of d → B on the x ‑axis at x = 2.50 m is -6.4 × 10⁻¹¹T(Along z direction)

the magnitude and direction of d → B on the z ‑axis at z = 5.00 m is 1.6 × 10⁻¹¹T(Along x direction)

Explanation:

Use Biot, Savart, the magnetic field

d\bar{B}=\frac{U}{4\pi } \frac{i(d\bar{l}\times r)}{r^2}

Given that,

i = 1.00A

d → l = 4.00 m m ^ j

r = 2.5m

Displacement vector is

\bar{r}=x\hat i+y\hat j+z \hat k\\

\bar{r}= (2.5m) \hat i +(0m)^2 + (0m)^2

 =2.5m

on the axis of x at x = 2.5

r = \sqrt{(2.5)^2 + (0)^2 + (0)^2}

r = 2.5m

And unit vector

\hat r =\frac{\bar{r}}{r}

= \frac{2.5 \hat i}{2.5}\\\\= 1\hat i

Therefore, the magnetic field is as follow

d\bar{B}=\frac{U}{4\pi } \frac{i(d\bar{l}\times r)}{r^2}

d\bar{B} = \frac{(10^-^7)(1)(4\times10^-^3j\times i}{(2.50)^2} \\\\d\bar{B} = -6.4\times10^{-11} T

(Along z direction)

B)r = 5.00m

Displacement vector is

\bar{r}=x\hat i+y\hat j+z \hat k\\

\bar{r}= (5.00m) \hat i +(0m)^2 + (0m)^2

 =5.00m

on the axis of x at x = 5.0

r = \sqrt{(5.00)^2 + (0)^2 + (0)^2}

r = 5.00m

And unit vector

\hat r =\frac{\bar{r}}{r}

= \frac{5.00 \hat i}{5.00}\\\\= 1\hat i\\

Therefore, the magnetic field is as follow

d\bar{B}=\frac{U}{4\pi } \frac{i(d\bar{l}\times r)}{r^2}

d\bar{B} = \frac{(10^-^7)(1)(4\times10^-^3j\times i}{(5.00)^2} \\\\d\bar{B} = 1.6\times10^{-11} T

(Along x direction)
