Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s

Calculating ph how is ph related to the concentration of hydronium ions. True or False
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

I think this is TRUE. Ph is calculating the acidic acids in water. And you need to know the concentration of hydronium ions. Hope this helped !

A small rock is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 21.0 m/sm/s from the edge of the roof of a 21.0-mm-tall building. The r
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

A.

Given:

Vo = 21 m/s

Vf = 0 m/s

Using equation of Motion,

Vf^2 = Vo^2 - 2aS

S = (21^2)/2 × 9.8

= 22.5 m.

B.

Given:

S = 22.5 + 21 mm

= 22.521 m

Vo = 0 m/s

Using the equation of motion,

S = Vo × t + 1/2 × a × t^2

22.521 = 0 + 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

t^2 = (2 × 22.521)/9.8

= 4.6

t = 2.14 s

A charged particle A exerts a force of 2.45 μN to the right on charged particle B when the particles are 12.2 mm apart. Particle
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

F_2 = 1.10 \mu N

Explanation:

As we know that the electrostatic force is a based upon inverse square law

so we have

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

now since it depends inverse on the square of the distance so we can say

\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

now we know that

r_2 = 18.2 mm

r_1 = 12.2 mm

also we know that

F_1 = 2.45 \mu N

now from above equation we have

F_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} F_1

F_2 = \frac{12.2^2}{18.2^2}(2.45\mu N)

F_2 = 1.10 \mu N

What is the lowest mass that an object can have and still be a star?
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The lowest mass that an object can have to be considered a star is 0.08 solar masses.    

Explanation:

A star is get when it reaches the necessary temperature in its core to nuclear reaction began.

A Nuclear reaction is the fusion of lighter elements into heavier elements.

In stars there is an equilibrium between two forces, the force of gravity in the inward direction due to its own mass and the radiation pressure in the upward direction as a consequence of the nuclear reaction in its core, which is known as hydrostatic equilibrium.

Therefore, the mass of the star must be enough to the force of gravity act in the inward direction, which leads to the increase in pressure, density and of course temperature in the core, allowing the nuclear reaction to begin.

Hence, the lowest mass that an object can have to be consider a star is 0.08 solar masses.

A bartender slides a mug of beer along a bar to a customer. The mug starts with a speed of 1.00 m/s, but by the time it reaches
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity u = 1 m /s

final velocity v = .25 m /s

mass of the mug m = .85

initial kinetic energy

= 1/2 x .85 x 1 x 1

= .425 J

final kinetic energy

= 1/2 x .85 x .25 x .25

= .0265 J

Loss of kinetic energy

= .425 - .0265 J

= .3985 J

Work done by friction

= - .3985 J  ( loss of kinetic energy is due to negative work by friction )
