Answer:

260 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a sound wave is  defined as the number of oscillation which is given in cycles per time. Frequency (f) is given  by the formula ;

f = \frac{1}{T} and it is measured in Hertz(Hz)

Given that;

a vibration is caused by a struck string in piano at  260 cycles and Time (T) = 1 seconds

Frequency (f) can be determined as; 260 cycles × 1 seconds

= 260 Hertz (Hz)

Hence, the frequency of the sound wave is 260 Hertz (Hz).

A 14 kg tennis ball moves at a velocity of 11 m/s. The ball is struck by a racket, causing it to rebound in the opposite directi
Charra [1.4K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the momentum.

This is defined as the product between the change in velocity and the mass of the object, that is

p = m\Delta v

p = m (v_f-v_i)

Where,

m = mass

v_f = Final velocity

v_i = Initial velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 14kg

v_i= 11m/s

v_f= - 5m/s \rightarrow <em>the negative Symbol implies that the direction is opposite to the initial one and therefore there is also a change in the sense of magnitude</em>

p = (14)(-5-11)

p = 14(-16)

p = -224 kg \cdot m/s

The negative symbol indicates that the momentum has a direction opposite to that of the initial velocity. Or failing that, it has the same direction of the final speed

How does radiation transfer thermal energy from the Sun to Earth?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The thermal energy is carried by electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

There are three types of transfer of heat (thermal energy):

- Conduction: conduction occurs when two objects/two substances are in contact with each other. The heat is transferred from the hotter object to the colder object by the collisions between the molecules of the two mediums.

- Convection: convection occurs when a fluid is heated by an external source of heat. The part of the fluid closer to the heat source gets warmer, therefore it becomes less dense and it rises, and it is replaced by the colder part of the fluid, which is colder. Then, this part of fluid is heated as well, so it gets warmer, it rises, etc.. in a cycle.

- Radiation: radiation occurs when thermal energy is carried by electromagnetic waves. Since electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is the only method of heat transfer that can occur through a vacuum (so, in space as well).

Indeed, the Sun emits a lot of electromagnetic radiation, which travels through space and eventually reaches the Earth, heating it.
