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 ".

storchak [24]

Answer: machine's efficiency = 82.2%

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine is the capability of a machine to convert input to output without waste.

It can be expressed as

Efficiency = output/ input × 100%

Output = 7,023N

Imput = 8,542N

Efficiency = 7,023N/8,542N × 100%

Efficiency = 82.2%

A car stops in 130 m. If it has an acceleration of -5 m/s2 what was the cars starting velocity?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

<u>We are given:</u>

displacement (s) = 130 m

acceleration (a) = -5 m/s²

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s      [the cars 'stops' in 130 m]

initial velocity (u) = u m/s

<u>Solving for initial velocity:</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(0)² - (u)² = 2(-5)(130)

-u² = -1300

u² = 1300

u = √1300

u = 36 m/s

What best describes a sound wave? transverse and electromagnetic longitudinal and mechanical longitudinal and electromagnetic tr
GalinKa [24]

Sound needs medium to travel and it can not travel without medium

so sound wave is a travelling wave

now we also know that sound wave propagate in form of rarefaction and compression.

So all medium particles travel in the direction of wave only

so it is a longitudinal wave also

so correct answer will be

<em>mechanical longitudinal </em>

The British attempted to break the land-speed record and the sound barrier using a jet-powered car. They made their attempt in t
jolli1 [7]

Your answer is B.

The relationship between medium temperature and speed of sound is a direct relationship: when one factor increases, the other increases as is shown in graph B. The British would choose the the time of day which would give the lowest speed of sound, because this would be easiest to break. Graph B shows that the lowest speed of sound would occur with the lowest air temperature - in the morning.

A force of 100 newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the
valentina_108 [34]


work is distance * force so 15*100=1500

and to find time you know power = diastance * force / time

so 25=15*100/t

25=1500/t

25/1500=t

.016=time
