Tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second. If the wavelength of each wave is 45 cm, what is the spee

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that, tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second.

We know that the number of waves per second is called the frequency of a wave.

So, f = 17.5 Hz

Wavelength of each wave, $\lambda=45\ cm=0.45\ m$

Speed of the wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda$

$v=17.5\times 0.45$

v = 7.87 m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Max ran 100 feet in 10 seconds.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

for max :

100 feet in 10 secs

for molly :

60 feet in 5 secs = 120 feet in 10 secs

so, molly ran farther in the same time interval i.e. covered 120 feet where as Max covered 100 feet

what happens to the current in a circuit if the resitance of the components in the circuit is increased

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The current decreases.

Explanation:

Current and resistance are inversely proportional. The equation connecting current, resistance and voltage is $V = IR$ , where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

Rearranging this equation, you get:

$I = \frac{V}{R}$

and

$R = \frac{V}{I}$

If the value of voltage in both equations remains constant, and the value of R decreases, the value of I will increase. Conversely, if in the second equation $R = \frac{V}{I}$ , the value of V remains constant the value of I decreases, then the value of R, resistance will increase.

Thus, it can be seen that the current will decrease as resistance increases and vice versa.

An object travels with a constant speed in a circular path. The net force on the object is

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

toward the center

Explanation:

Before answering, let's remind the first two Newton Laws:

1) An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object moving at constant velocity tends to continue its motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon a net force

2) An object acted upon a net force F experiences an acceleration a according to the equation

$F=ma$

where m is the mass of the object.

In this problem, we have an object travelling at constant speed in a circular path. The fact that the trajectory of the object is circular means that the direction of motion of the object is constantly changing: this means that its velocity is changing, so it has an acceleration. And therefore, a net force is acting on it. The force that keeps the object travelling in the circular path is called centripetal force, and it is directed towards the center of the circle (because it prevents the object from continuing its motion straight away).

So, the correct answer is

toward the center
