Calculate the speed (in m/sec) of a wave with a wavelength of 2.1 meters and a period of 9.4 second.

Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

We know the wavelength, but we don't know the frequency. How can we find the frequency ?  "Here frequency frequency."

We know the period, and frequency is just (1 / period).  So . . .

Wave speed = (wavelength) / (period)

Wave speed = (2.1 meters) / (9.4 seconds)

Wave speed = (2.1 / 9.4) m/s

<em>Wave speed = 0.223 m/s</em>

Lorico [155]

Answer:

length L of the clapper rod for the bell to ring silently = 0.756m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of Bell;m_b = 34 kg

Distance of centre of mass from pivot;d = 0.7m

The bells moment of inertia about an axis at the pivot;I = 18 kg.m²

Mass of clapper;m_c = 1.8 kg

Length of slender rod is L

Now, the formula for period of physical pendulum having small amplitude is given as;

T_b = 2π√(I/mgd)

Where;

I is moment of inertia

m is mass

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

d is distance from rotation axis to centre of gravity

Plugging in the relevant values and using mass of bell, we have;

T_b = 2π√(18/(34*9.81*0.7)

T_b = 2π√(18/(34*9.81*0.7)

T_b = 1.745 s

Now, the formula for period for a simple pendulum which is essentially what the clapper rod is would be;

T_c = 2π√(L/g)

Now, we want to find length of clapper L.

Thus, let's make it the subject;

L = g(T_c/2π)²

Now, we are told that for the bell to ring silently, T_b = T_c.

Thus, T_c = 1.745 s.

So,

L = 9.8(1.745/2π)²

L = 0.756m

A car is travelling to the right with a speed of 40 m/s when the driver slams on the brakes. The car skids for 4 s with constant
vazorg [7]

Answer:

10m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

velocity= 40m/s

time= 4 seconds

Acceleration a =????

We know that

a= velocity/time

substitute

a=40/4

a= 10m/s^2

Hence the acceleration will be 10m/s^2

What does it mean when work is positive?
jenyasd209 [6]
Both positive work and negative work have meaning: Positive work follows when the force has a component parallel to the displacement. Positive work adds energy to a system. Negative work follows when the force has a component opposite or against the displacement.

How high was a brick dropped from if if falls in 2.5 seconds?
jenyasd209 [6]
Using the kinematic equation d =  V_0 * t  + 1/2 * a * t^2, where d is height you can rewrite this to be d = 1/2*g*t^2 or 4.9t^2
g = a because this is a free fall 
d = 1/2 * 9.81m/s^2 * 2.5^2
d = 30.65625m
d = 30.7m
