Answer:

7.9

Explanation:

speed = 3.8

speed = frequency * wavelength

frequency = $\frac{speed}{wavelength} = \frac{3.8 * 1000}{480} = 7.9$

A car initially traveling at 24 m/s slams on the brakes and moves forward 196 m before coming to a complete halt. What was the m

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$-1.47 m/s^2$

Explanation:

We can use the following SUVAT equation to solve the problem:

$v^2 - u^2 = 2ad$

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

u = 24 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d = 196 m is the displacement of the car before coming to a stop

Solving the equation for a, we find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-(24)^2}{2(196)}=-1.47 m/s^2$

A simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m attached to a string of length L swings with a period T on Earth. Calculate the

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

T = T

Explanation:

Time period of a simple pendulum is not affected by the mass of the bob. As we know, $T = 2\pi \sqrt{L/g}$ . There is no factor of mass affecting when we derived the equation. The basic reason behind the time period is not affected is because of mass dependence on angular acceleration. As the mass increases the acceleration increase and the Time Period remains constant.

Calculate the pressure in SI unit when a force of 100 dyne acts on area of 0.02cm²

Andru [333]

Answer:

500 Pa

Explanation:

Convert given units to SI:

100 dyne = 0.001 N

0.02 cm² = 2×10⁻⁶ m²

Pressure = force / area

P = 0.001 N / (2×10⁻⁶ m²)

P = 500 Pa
