A traveling wave has wavelength 0.50 m, speed 20 m/s. Find the wave frequency.

2 answers:

5 0

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$ where $f$ is frequency, $v$ is speed and $\lambda$ is wavelength. So f=20/0.5=40. The unit is 1/s or Hz.

Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = 20 / 0.5 = 40 per second = 40 Hz.

Define the focus of a concave lens

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Principal focus of concave lens - 

★ The point at which rays parallel to principal axis coming from infinity appear to converge after being refracted from concave lens is called the principal focus of concave lens.

________________________

• Additional information - 

★ Principal focus - A number of rays parallel to the principal axis after reflection from a concave mirror meet at a point on the principal axis or appear to come from a point after reflection from a convex mirror on the principal axis. This is called principal focus.

An object in the shape of a thin ring has radius a and mass M. A uniform sphere with mass m and radius R is placed with its cent

madreJ [45]

Answer:

F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³

Explanation:

The force dF on the mass element dm of the ring due to the sphere of mass, m at a distance L from the mass element is

dF = GmdM/L²

Since the ring is symmetrical, the vertical components of this force cancel out leaving the horizontal components to add.

So, the horizontal components add from two symmetrically opposite mass elements dM,

Thus, the horizontal component of the force is

dF' = dFcosФ where Ф is the angle between L and the x axis

dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²

L² = a² + x² where a = radius of ring and x = distance of axis of ring from sphere.

L = √(a² + x²)

cosФ = x/L

dF' = GmdMcosФ/L²

dF' = GmdMx/L³

dF' = GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³

Integrating both sides we have

∫dF' = ∫GmdMx/[√(a² + x²)]³

∫dF' = Gm∫dMx/[√(a² + x²)]³ ∫dM = M

F = GmMx/[√(a² + x²)]³

F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³

So, the force due to the sphere of mass m is

F = GMmx/[√(a² + x²)]³

What relationship between the sun and earth did copernicus formulate?

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The astronomical model created and published by Nicholas Copernicus in the year 1543 is called Copernican heliocentrism. The model set the Sun in immobile position near the center of the solar system with Earth, as well as the other planets, spherical, epicycled and at consistent frequencies around it.
