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

Physics
1 answer:
harkovskaia [24]3 years ago
8 0

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

On an ice skating rink, a girl of mass 50 kg stands stationary, face to face with a boy of mass 80 kg. The children push off of
sasho [114]

The velocity of the girl is  -4.8 m/s.

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of  bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.

Thus;

0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)

0 = 240 + 50 v

-240 = 50 v

v = -240/50

v = -4.8 m/s

Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.

In designing circular rides for amusement parks, mechanical engineers must consider how small variations in certain parameters c
Bess [88]

Answer:

Part a)

dF = -\frac{mv^2}{r^2} dr

Part b)

dF = \frac{2mvdv}{r}

Part c)

dT = - \frac{2\pi r}{v^2} dv

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that force on the passenger while moving in circle is given as

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

now variation in force is given as

dF = -\frac{mv^2}{r^2} dr

here speed is constant

Part b)

Now if the variation in force is required such that r is constant then we will have

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

so we have

dF = \frac{2mvdv}{r}

Part c)

As we know that time period of the circular motion is given as

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

so here if radius is constant then variation in time period is given as

dT = - \frac{2\pi r}{v^2} dv

How does the carbon rod of a cell beomes a positive<br>terminal?​
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

In the middle of a dry cell, is a rod made of carbon. Around the carbon rod is a chemical paste. At the same time, the carbon rod becomes positively charged. When this happens, electrical current flows out of the cell when a conductor is attached between the cell's positive and negative terminals.

Which of the following is an example of acceleration?
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

When a satellite is orbiting the earth , a constant force is being applied on it which means it must has acceleration. Also the direction of satellite is always being changed when it is orbitting to there is always change in the velocity vector which means acceleration.

You can view in the attached diagram to understand how the velocity is being changed.
