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

Question 1 of 7What is the change in internal energy if 90 J of thermal energy is added to asystem, and the system does 30 J of
Dmitriy789 [7]

Given:

The thermal energy added to the system is Q = 90 J

The work done by the system on the surroundings is W = 30 J

To find the change in internal energy.

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy can be calculated by the formula

\Delta U=\text{ Q-W}

On substituting the values, the change in internal energy will be

\begin{gathered} \Delta U\text{ =90-30} \\ =60\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The chage in internal energy is 60 J (option D)

zaharov [31]
Batteries always use direct current. That eliminates A and C. The other part of the answers is just asking what direct/alternating means. Alternating currents change directions moving one way then another. Direct current only moves in one direction. Therefore, the answer is D, since the current is direct and direct currents move in one direction.

A body with initial velocity 8.0 m/s moves along a straight line with constant acceleration and travels
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

<em>(a) The average velocity is 16 m/s</em>

<em>(b) The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2</em>

<em>(c) The final velocity is 24 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity (or the speed) of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, final speed is calculated as follows:

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

(a) The average velocity is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance.

We know the distance is x=640 m and the time taken t= 40 s, thus:

\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{640}{40}=16

The average velocity is 16 m/s

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

(c) From [2] we can solve for a:

\displaystyle a= 2\frac{x-v_ot}{t^2}

Since vo=8 m/s, x=640 m, t=40 s:

\displaystyle a= 2\frac{640-8\cdot 40}{40^2}=0.4

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2

(b) The final velocity is calculated by [1]:

v_f=8+0.4\cdot 40

v_f=8+16=24

The final velocity is 24 m/s

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.

A man 2 meters tall walks at the rate of 2 meters per second toward a streetlight that's 5 meters above the ground. At what rate
GaryK [48]

Answer:

It changes at a rate of 4/3 meter per second

Explanation:

In the given figure below we have

\Delta OBD\simeq \Delta ABC\\\\\therefore \frac{5}{X+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\

Solving for Y given  X=2m/s we get

\frac{5}{2+Y}=\frac{2}{Y}\\\\5Y=4+2Y\\\\Y=\frac{4}{3}m/s
