Define amplitude and frequency as they relate to a wave?

1 answer:

3 0

frequency definition. In physics, the number of crests of a wave that move past a given point in a given unit of time. The most common unit offrequency is the hertz (Hz), corresponding to one crest per second. Thefrequency of a wave can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave by the wavelength.amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path.

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit

vovikov84 [41]

Gravitational force is given by, $F= G\frac{mM}{R^{2}}$

Where, m and M are the masses of the objects, R is the distance between them and G gravitational constant.

Gravitational force of the star on planet 1, $F_{1}= G\frac{m_{1}M}{R^{2}}$

Gravitational force of the star on planet 2, $F_{2}= G\frac{3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}$

Ratio, $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}= \frac{\frac{Gm_{1}M}{R^{2}}}{\frac{G3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}}$

$\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}= \frac{3}{1}$

Therefore, the gravitational force of the star on the planet 1 is three times that on planet 2.

An astronaut is taking a space walk near the shuttle when her safety tether breaks. what should the astronaut do to get back to

sergeinik [125]

The best way in handling in this situation is that in order for the astronaut to be able to get back to the shuttle is that he or she should take an object from his or her tool belt and to be thrown out away from the shuttle. This will allow her to weight lightly and safely return to the shuttle and would be easier for his or her to do so.
