Answer:

The wavelength of the wave is tripled this can be done by reducing the frequency of the wave by factor of three.

Explanation :

The relation between the wavelength & frequency of a wave is given by

C = ν λ

Where

C - it is the velocity of light in vacuum.

ν - frequency of the wave.

λ - wavelength of the wave.

So we find that wavelength of a wave varies inversely with the frequency of a wave i.e. ν ∝ 1/λ.

A 0.060-kg ice hockey puck comes toward a player with a high speed. The player hits it directly back softly with an average forc

kramer

Answer:u=-22 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of puck $m=0.06\ kg$

Average force $f_{avg}=1.5\times 10^3\ N$

time of contact $t=1.2ms=1.2\times 10^{-3}\ s$

puck leaves with a velocity of $v=8\ m/s$

We know impulse is $F_{avg}\Delta t$ $=\text{change in momentum}$

therefore

$1.5\times 10^3\times (1.2\times 10^{-3})=P_f-P_i$

$P_i=0.06\times 8-1.8$

$P_i=0.48-1.8=-1.32\ kg-m/s$

Final momentum $P_f=m\times v_f$

$P_f=0.06\times 8$

$P_f=0.48\ kg-m/s$

Impulse on the ball $=F_{avg}\Delta t$

Impulse $=1.5\times 10^3\times 1.2\times 10^{-3}=1.8\ N-s$

Initial velocity is given by

$u=\frac{P_i}{m}=\frac{-1.32}{0.06}$

$u=-22\ m/s$

i.e. initially ball is moving towards -x-axis

What is the half-life of this radioactive isotope that decreases to one-fourth its original amount in 18 months?

o-na [289]

The half-life of this radioactive isotope is 9 months for it decreases to one-fourth its original amount in 18 months. Half-life means a certain length of time after which half of the amount of radioactive element has decayed.
Therefore, the half-life of this particular isotope is 18 months. After 18 months the isotope was at one-half, then another 18 months, the isotope was at one-fourth, which is 9 months where one-fourth is one-half of one half.

What is the acceleration of a sinking rock if it has a mass of 0.25 kg and has a net force of 0.44 N acting on it?

charle [14.2K]

Answer: 1.76 m/s²

Explanation:

F = mass x acceleration

0.44 N = (0.25)(a)

0.44/0.25 = 1.76

a = 1.76

The start-up procedure for a batch reactor includes a heating step where the reactor temperature is gradually heated to the nomi

qwelly [4]

Solution:
f ( t )= 20 S ( t ) + 55/30 tS ( t )− 55/30 ( t − 30 ) S ( t − 30 )
• Taking the Laplace Transform:
F ( s ) = 20/s + 55/30 ( 1/s^2 ) – 55/30 ( 1/s^2) e^-30s = 20/s + 55/30 ( 1/s^2 ) ( 1 – e^-30s)
