Using KE=1/2mv^2

v= $\sqrt{50000/500$

so v=10

½mv²= KE

½(1000)?²= 50000

500*?²= 50000

/500 /500

? ²=100

Square root

?= 10

10 m/s is you answer

A wave travels at a constant speed. How does the frequency change if the wavelength increases by a factor of 2?

NARA [144]

Answer : The frequency decreases by a factor of 2.

Explanation :

Given that the wave travels at a constant speed. The speed of the wave is given as :

$v=\nu\times \lambda$

Where

υ is the frequency of the wave

and λ is the wavelength of the wave.

In this case, the speed is constant. So, the relation between the frequency and the wavelength is inverse.

$\nu\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$

If the wavelength increases by a factor of 2, its frequency will decrease by a factor of 2.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " The frequency decreases by a factor of 2 ".

When you are on a roller coaster, you are constantly transforming from Potential to Kinetic energy and back. Explain how these e

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The two types of energy possessed by the roller coaster are:

- Potential energy: it is the energy possessed by the roller coaster due to its position. It is calculated as

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the roller coaster

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the roller coaster relative to the ground

- KInetic energy: it is the energy possessed by the roller coaster due to its motion. It is calculated as

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the speed of the roller coaster

Moreover, according to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster (the sum of potential+kinetic energy) is constant during the motion:

$E=PE+KE=const.$

This implies that:

- When PE increases (because h increases), KE decreases (because v decreases)

- When PE decreases (because h decreases), KE increases (because v increases)

Now we can apply these conclusions to the motion of the roller coaster:

- When it moves from A to B, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so PE decreases and KE increases

- When it moves from B to C, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, so PE increases and KE decreases

- When it moves from C to D, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so PE decreases and KE increases

- When it moves from D to E, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, so PE increases and KE decreases

Tom [10]

Well, its in the air, so the air is "upon" the ball. and when it comes down...you catch it, and throw it, and get someone out, and win the game, and just keep doing that, and boooommm you're and pro baseball player. Life is good
