How is a wavelength measured in a compressional wave?

A wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction . Let me know if I really help you my friend !

A squirrel jumps down from a tall tree. Assuming the squirrel is in free fall, how far will it have fallen in 1.5 seconds?

snow_tiger [21]

D = 1/2gt^2 <-- free fall formula

d = (0.5)(9.81)(1.5^2)
d = 11.03625
d = 11.04 m

hope this helps and have a great day :)

The estimated mass of the planet jupiter is 1.90 × 1027 kg and the density is believed to be 1.34 g/cm3. if jupiter were a perfe

V125BC [204]

We use the formula,

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Given, $mass=1.90\times 10^{27}\ kg = 1.90\times 10^{30}\ g$ and $density =1.34\ g/cm^3$ .

Substituting these values, we get

$volume = \frac{1.90\times 10^{30}\ g}{1.34\ g/cm^3} =1.4179\times 10^{30}\ cm^3$ .

As Jupiter were a perfect sphere, therefore the volume of sphere is given by

$volume=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

Here, r is the radius of sphere.

Substituting the value of volume we get

$1.4179\times 10^{30}\ cm^3=\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14\times r^3 \\\\ r^3=0.339\times 10^{30} \\\\r= 0.697\times 10^{10}\ cm$ .

The diameter is twice of radius, thus the diameter of Jupiter would be

$2r=2\times 0.697\times 10^{10}\ cm=1.394\times 10^{10}\ cm$

Pls qmp

Answer: I put the importance of the lab in the topic is to find how dense an object is and if it can sink or float and it's important to answer the question so you can also find mass and volume.

Explanation: I dunno haha...

What happens to the wavelength of a wave on a string when the frequency is doubled

frozen [14]

Answer:

$\lambda'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \lambda$

Explanation:

The number of oscillation per unit time is called frequency of a wave while the distance between two consecutive crests and the trough is called its wavelength.

The wavelength of a wave is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$
