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.

Vector A with arrow, which is directed along an x axis, is to be added to vector B with arrow, which has a magnitude of 5.5 m. T

Answer:

Magnitude of vector A = 0.904

Explanation:

Vector A , which is directed along an x axis, that is

$\vec{A}=x_A\hat{i}$

Vector B , which has a magnitude of 5.5 m

$\vec{B}=x_B\hat{i}+y_B\hat{j}$

$\sqrt{x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}}=5.5\\\\x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}=30.25$

The sum is a third vector that is directed along the y axis, with a magnitude that is 6.0 times that of vector A $\vec{A}+\vec{B}=6x_A\hat{j}\\\\x_A\hat{i}+x_B\hat{i}+y_B\hat{j}=6x_A\hat{j}$

Comparing we will get

$x_A=-x_B\\\\y_B=6x_A$

Substituting in $x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}=30.25$

$\left (-x_{A} \right )^{2}+\left (6x_{A} \right )^{2}=30.25\\\\37x_{A}^2=30.25\\\\x_{A}=0.904$

So we have

$\vec{A}=0.904\hat{i}$

Magnitude of vector A = 0.904

Answer:

The answer is I=70,513kgm^2

Explanation:

Here we will use the rotational mechanics equation T=Ia, where T is the Torque, I is the Moment of Inertia and a is the angular acceleration.

When we speak about Torque it´s basically a Tangencial Force applied over a cylindrical or circular edge. It causes a rotation. In this case, we will have that T=Ft*r, where Ft is the Tangencial Forge and r is the radius

Now we will find the Moment of Inertia this way:

$Ft*r=I*a$ -> $(Ft*r)/(a) = I$
