To navigate, a porpoise emits a sound wave that has a wavelength of 4.9 cm. The speed at which the wave travels in seawater is 1

522 m/s. Find the period of the wave.

Frequency can be defined as the ratio between the speed of the wave and its wavelength, that is

f= \frac{v}{\lambda}

At the same time, the frequency is the inverse of the Period so

T = \frac{1}{f}

If we join the two expressions we will have to

T = \frac{\lambda}{v}

Replacing we have that

T = \frac{4.9*10^{-2}}{1522}

T = 3.219*10^{-5} s

Therefore the period of the wave is 3.219*10^{-5} s

Is there a frame of reference one can go into that seems to eliminate gravity as Newton described it?
andriy [413]

Answer:

Yes such a frame exists: a free-fall (free-float frame) frame. This frame of reference is subject only to gravity and no forces such as electromagnetic forces or nuclear forces.

Explanation:
We're asked to find the initial velocity of the box, given it constantly accelerated at
−
3

m/s
2
for
24

m
before coming to a stop.
To do this, we can use the equation

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
where
v
x
is the final velocity of the box (which is
0
since it came to rest)

v
0
x
is the initial velocity of the box (what we're trying to find)

a
x
is the acceleration of the box, given as
−
3

m/s
2
(negative because it's directed opposite to motion; i.e. it is decelerating)

Δ
x
is the distance traveled by the box, given as

Plugging in knonw values, we have
