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

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent on 1 variable which is the net force
Darya [45]
I think it’s false. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and then mass of the object.

Two objects are electrically charged. The net charge on one object is doubled. Therefore, the electric force _____.
creativ13 [48]
If net charge on one object is doubled, then electric force will also get double. It is because they are directly proportional to each other.

Hope this helps!

Which mathematical formula would you use to calculate the IMA of a wheel?
coldgirl [10]

W = F x D

The work you put into a machine -- the input force -- is the force you apply times the distance you apply it. The work done by the machine equals the resisting weight times the distance it moves when you perform the work.
