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

Copper is a metal commonly used for electrical wiring in houses. Which metal conducts electricity better than copper at 20°C?
jek_recluse [69]
The correct answer is silver metal.
Conductivity measures the ability of a material or a metal to transmit energy, conductivity may be electrical, thermal or acoustical conductivity. The most electrical conductive element is silver, followed by copper and Gold. Silver also has the highest thermal conductivity as compare to any element. However, copper and Gold are more often used in electrical applications since copper is less expensive and gold has a much higher corrosion resistance.

A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of 1.40 m/s2.A) How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

(A) 1.43secs

(B) -2.50m/s^2

Explanation:

A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of 1.40m/s^2

(A) When the speed is 2.00m/s then, the time can be calculated as follows

t= Vf-Vo/a

The values given are a= 1.40m/s^2 , Vf= 2.00m/s, Vo= 0

= 2.00-0/1.40

= 2.00/1.40

= 1.43secs

(B) The deceleration when the time is 0.800secs can be calculated as follows

a= Vf-Vo/t

= 0-2.00/0.800

= -2.00/0.800

= -2.50m/s^2
