Answer:

2.25m/s

Explanation:

wavelength=4.5m

period=2sec

frequency= 1/period

=1/2

speed= wavelength×wave frequency

=4.5×1/2

=2.25 m/s

so, none of the options are correct

A ball filled with an unknown material starts from rest at the top of a 2 m high incline that makes a 28o with respect to the ho

Answer:

<u>Searching in google I found the total mass and the radius of the ball (m = 1.5 kg and r = 10 cm) which are needed to solve the problem!</u>

The ball rotates 6.78 revolutions.

Explanation:

<u>Searching in google I found the total mass and the radius of the ball (m = 1.5 kg and r = 10 cm) which are needed to solve the problem!</u>

At the bottom the ball has the following angular speed:

$\omega_{f} = \frac{v_{f}}{r} = \frac{4.9 m/s}{0.10 m} = 49 rad/s$

Now, we need to find the distance traveled by the ball (L) by using θ=28° and h(height) = 2 m:

$sin(\theta) = \frac{h}{L} \rightarrow L = \frac{h}{sin(\theta)} = \frac{2 m}{sin(28)} = 4.26 m$

To find the revolutions we need the time, which can be found using the following equation:

$v_{f} = v_{0} + at$

$t = \frac{v_{f} - v_{0}}{a}$ (1)

So first, we need to find the acceleration:

$v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2aL \rightarrow a = \frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2L}$ (2)

By entering equation (2) into (1) we have:

$t = \frac{v_{f} - v_{0}}{\frac{v_{f}^{2} - v_{0}^{2}}{2L}}$

Since it starts from rest (v₀ = 0):

$t = \frac{2L}{v_{f}} = \frac{2*4.26 m}{4.9 m/s} = 1.74 s$

Finally, we can find the revolutions:

$\theta_{f} = \frac{1}{2} \omega_{f}*t = \frac{1}{2}*49 rad/s*1.74 s = 42.63 rad*\frac{1 rev}{2\pi rad} = 6.78 rev$

Therefore, the ball rotates 6.78 revolutions.

I hope it helps you!

The distance between two successive peaks on adjacent waves is its

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

Wavelength is the distance between two corresponding consecutive phases of a waveform. It is usually represented by λ in the mathematical expressions.

A continuous propagating wave repeats its wavelength over the distance.

A wave has crest and trough with respect to time and space.

Wave is defined as a disturbance of any parameter repeated in a cyclic manner over the given time.

Supposing velocity is speed and direction, and momentum is mass*velocity, if the velocity increases by a factor of 5, then so should the momentum regardless of the whole space thing.

If a ball is rolling in a straight line and you push it to the right its velocity will to the right

Keith_Richards [23]

The answer would be "velocity will stay in the same direction." Since the ball is going in the same the ball is still going straight but just right. Many people get confused over velocity and speed, speed it the average amount on how fast a object is going and velocity is the amount of force a object has when it has speed. So, in this case since how the ball is going straight but just right it would stay in the same direction.

Hope this helps!
