<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Frequency

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Waves are disturbances that travel through a material medium. There are several characteristics of waves, which includes; wavelength, frequency, period and amplitude. </u></em>
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of wave particles, or simply the height of the wave, measured in meters.
Wavelength is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs in a transverse wave or between two successive rarefaction or compressions in a longitudinal wave, measured in meters.
Period is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point, measured in seconds.
<em><u>Frequency is the number of complete waves or cycles that pass a point in one second, measured is inverse seconds, or Hertz (Hz).</u></em>

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

$A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)$

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and $\alpha$ is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle $\alpha$ .

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

$A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5$

So:

$|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846$

So:

$Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)$

$\alpha$ = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

$\alpha$ = 313 °

A 32.5 g cube of aluminum initially at 45.8 °C is submerged into 105.3 g of water at 15.4 °C. What is the final temperature of b

lakkis [162]

Answer:

$T = 17.26 ^oC$

Explanation:

At thermal equilibrium we have heat given by aluminium must be equal to the heat absorbed by the water

so we will have

$Q_1 = Q_2$

$m_1s_1\Delta T_1 = m_2s_2\Delta T_2$

so we will have

$32.5(900)(45.8 - T) = 105.3(4186)(T - 15.4)$

so we have

$(45.8 - T) = 15.1(T - 15.4)$

so we have

$16.1 T = 277.87$

$T = 17.26 ^oC$

Ángel is riding his bike 15m/h south a) speed b) velocity c) acceleration

mixer [17]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

Speed does not have a direction, Acceleration means that it is speeding up and not at a constant 15m/h, so the answer is B.

A stunt driver rounds a banked, circular curve. The driver rounds the curve at a high, constant speed, such that the car is just

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: C

Frictional force

Explanation:

The description of the question above is an example of a circular motion.

For a car travelling in a curved path, the frictional force between the tyres and the road surface will provide the centripetal force.

Since the road is banked, and the cross section of the banked road is constructed like a ramp. The car drives transversely to the slope of the ramp, so that the wheels of one side of the car are lower than the wheels on the other side of the car, for cornering the banked road, the car will not rely only on the frictional force.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C - the frictional force.

Which one of the following statements concerning the momentum of a system when the net force acting on the system is equal to ze

Alex

Answer:

Explanation:

According to newton's 2nd law rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied on the body. Since, net Force is zero this means momentum did not change or momentum of the body remained constant.

Hence, the system have constant value of momentum. Therefore, option D is correct.
