The frequency of a wave is just the reciprocal of the period.
For this one . . .

     Frequency  =  1/(period)  =  1/(5 sec)  =  0.2 per sec (0.2 Hz) .

Answer:

Frequency of the wave is 0.2 Hz.

Explanation:

It is given that, the period of a mechanical wave is 5 seconds. We have to find the frequency of the wave. Time period of a wave is defined as the time taken by the wave to complete one cycle and the number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of the wave.

The relationship between the time period and the frequency of the wave is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{T}   T = time period

f=\dfrac{1}{5\ s}      

f = 0.2 Hertz

Hence, the correct option is (c) " 0.2 Hz ".

A circuit contains two light bulbs connected in parallel. What would happen to the brightness of each light bulb if two more lig
laila [671]

Answer;

C. The brightness of each bulb would remain the same even though the total resistance of the circuit would decrease.

Explanation;

-If light bulbs are connected in parallel to a voltage source, the brightness of the individual bulbs remains more-or-less constant as more and more bulbs are added to the circuit.

-The current increases as more bulbs are added to the circuit and the overall resistance decreases. In addition, if one bulb is removed from the circuit the other bulbs do not go out. Each bulb is independently linked to the voltage source

A particle is moving along a projectile path where the initial height is 160 feet with an initial speed of 144 feet per second.
Leviafan [203]
Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is: 

<span>s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160. </span>

<span>This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2. </span>

<span>Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet. </span>
