A wavelength approaching land at 25 m/s is 4.0 x 102 m. What is its period?

Answer:

16 s

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is the number of oscillations of the wave per second. It is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where

v is the wave speed

\lambda is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem we have

v = 25 m/s

\lambda=4.0\cdot 10^2 m=400 m

So the frequency is

f=\frac{25}{400}=0.0625 Hz

The period of a wave is the time taken for one complete oscillation, and it is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

So the period of this wave is:

T=\frac{1}{0.0625}=16 s

Assume that segment r exerts a force of magnitude t on segment l. what is the magnitude flr of the force exerted on segment r by
mrs_skeptik [129]
If we are talking on the force being exerted by a segment of a rope of lenght R on the right on a point M which is being also pulled from the Left by a segment of rope R  as shown in the figure attached. Then we invoke Newton's Third Law:
"Any force exerted by an object (in this case a segment of the rope) also suffers a equal and opposite force".
If we pick T_R=T whis is the tension exerted by the right segment then the left segment will also exert an equal and opposite force so we have that T_L=-T

A 2 kg soccer ball is traveling 28.62m/s when it hits the wall and bounces off of the wall with a velocity of 20 m/s. If the wal
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

0.149 s or 0.15 s

Explanation:

let initially ball is moving towards left  hence initial velocity = - 28.62 m/s

final velocity as ball moves right = +20 m/s

force  = rate of change in momentum

force  = mass × change in velocity / time

or time = mass × change in velocity / force

    time = 2× ( 20 -( -28.62)) / 652.36

    time  = 2× ( 20  +28.62)) / 652.36  

time  =   2× 48 .62/652.36

 time =  0.149 s or 0.15 s

If earth increase the distance from the sun, what will happen to the period of orbi t(the time it takes to complete one revoluti
Mandarinka [93]

The period of the orbit would increase as well

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying Kepler's third law, which states that:

"The square of the orbital period of a planet around the Sun is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit"

Mathematically,

\frac{T^2}{a^3}=const.

Where

T is the orbital period

a is the semi-major axis of the orbit

In this problem, the question asks what happens if the distance of the Earth from the Sun increases. Increasing this distance means increasing the semi-major axis of the orbit, a: but as we saw from the previous equation, the orbital period of the Earth is proportional to a, therefore as a increases, T increases as well.

Therefore, the period of the orbit would increase.
