Answer:

- It can be infer that it has a lower frequency.

<em>In the case of electromagnetic waves.</em>

- A short wavelength means a lower energy,

Explanation:

The wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or valleys while the frequency is the number of crests that pass for a specific point in an interval of time.

For example, a person makes laundry once a weak.

In this example, the event is represented by the laundry and the interval of time is once a weak

The velocity of a wave is defined as:

v = \nu \cdot \lambda  (1)

Where nu is the frequency and \lambda is the wavelenth

\lambda =  \frac{v}{\nu}  (2)

Notice from equation 2 that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency (when the wavelength increases the frequency decreases).

In the case of electromagnetic waves, a short wavelength means a lower energy, as it can be seen in equation 4 (inversely proportional).

E = h\nu  (3)

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} (4)

Answer:

The lesser the wavelength, the greater the frequency.

Explanation:

Let assume a mechanical wave with a certain wavelength propagating through a fluid, so that speed is that from sound. If wavelength is short, that is, wavelength is small, then frequency has a big value.

The greatest speed recorded by a baseball thrown by a pitcher was 162.3 km / h, obtained by Nolan Ryan in 1974. If the ball leav
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

0.96 m

Explanation:

First, convert km/h to m/s.

162.3 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 45.08 m/s

Now find the time it takes to move 20 m horizontally.

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

20 m = (45.08 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

t = 0.4436 s

Finally, find how far the ball falls in that time.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (0.4436 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (0.4436 s)²

Δy = -0.96 m

The ball will have fallen 0.96 meters.

Add the vectors:
Anettt [7]

Vector 1 has components

x_1=(10\,\mathrm m)\cos20^\circ\approx9.40\,\mathrm m

y_1=(10\,\mathrm m)\sin20^\circ\approx3.42\,\mathrm m

and vector 2 has

x_2=(10\,\mathrm m)\cos80^\circ\approx1.74\,\mathrm m

y_2=(10\,\mathrm m)\sin80^\circ\approx9.85\,\mathrm m

Add these vectors to get the resultant, which has components

x_{\rm total}\approx11.133\,\mathrm m

y_{\rm total}\approx13.268\,\mathrm m

The magnitude of the resultant is

\sqrt{{x_{\rm total}}^2+{y_{\rm total}}^2}\approx17.321\,\mathrm m

with direction \theta such that

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y_{\rm total}}{x_{\rm total}}\implies\theta\approx50^\circ

or about 50º N of E.
