A wave with a period of three seconds travels at a speed of 12 m/s what is the wavelength of the wave

Physics

Answer:

<em>λ </em>= 0.28m

Explanation:

Equation used is <em>v = λf</em>, where <em>v</em> is velocity, <em>λ</em> is wavelength, and <em>f</em> is frequency

We need to find wavelength so rearrange the equation in term of wavelength.

<em>v = λf</em>

<em>λ = f/v</em>

We know that period is the inverse of frequency (f = 1/T), so lets substitute that into our equation

<em>λ = f/v</em>

<em>λ = (1/T)/v</em>

Plug in your the given values given in the question.

We're given v=12m/s and T=3sec

<em>λ = (1/T)/v</em>

<em>λ</em> = (1/3)/12

<em>λ</em> = 1/36 = 0.2777777 = 0.28m

A rock has a mass of 25kg. The acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s and the height of the rock is 42 m. Find the potential energ
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

 The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN

Explanation:

 Mass of rock = 25 kg

 Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

 Height = 42 m

 Potential energy, PE = mgh, where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

 PE = 25 x 10 x 42 = 10500 N = 10.5 kN

 The potential energy of the rock = 10.5 kN

Select Light for the type of wave, adjust the wavelength so that the light is red, and increase the amplitude of the light to th
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

here as we increase the distance the intensity will decrease and hence the amplitude of the electric field will decrease and vice-versa

Explanation:

As wee know that the amplitude of the wave will decide the energy of the wave

Here we know that energy density of electromagnetic wave is given as

u = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E_0^2

now we have

\frac{I}{c} = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E_0^2

so here we can say that intensity of the wave at the given distance from the source is given by formula

I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

so here as we increase the distance the intensity will decrease and hence the amplitude of the electric field will decrease and vice-versa.

A charge q1 of -5.00 x 10^-9 C and a charge q2 of -2.00x 10^-9 C are separated by a distance of 40.0 cm. Find the equilibrium po
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the equilibrium position of third charge be x distance from q₁.

Force on third charge due to q₁

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x²

Force on third charge due to q₂

= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

Both the force will act in opposite direction and for balancing , they should be equal.

9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ / x² = 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 10⁻⁹ x 15 x 10⁺⁹ /( .40-x)²

5  / x² = 2 / ( .4 - x )²

Taking square root on both sides

2.236 / x = 1.414 / .4 - x

2.236 ( .4 - x ) = 1.414 x

.8944 - 2.236 x = 1.414 x

.8944 = 3.65 x

x = .245 m

24.5 cm

So the third charge should be at a distance of 24.5 cm from q₁ .
