I'll be happy to solve the problem using the information that
you gave in the question, but I have to tell you that this wave
is not infrared light.

If it was a wave of infrared, then its speed would be close
to 300,000,000 m/s, not 6 m/s, and its wavelength would be
less than 0.001 meter, not 12 meters.

For the wave you described . . .

             Frequency  =  (speed)  /  (wavelength)

                                 =  (6 m/s)  /  (12 m)

                                 =      0.5 / sec

                                 =      0.5 Hz .  

(If it were an infrared wave, then its frequency would be
greater than 300,000,000,000 Hz.)

Frequency(ν) = speed of infrared light( c )/wavelength( λ ) = 6/12 = 1/2 = 0.5 s^-1 .

A piece of wire 29 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total length of the wire is 29 m.

Let the length of one piece is d and of another piece is 29 - d.

Let d is used to make a square.

And 29 - d is used to make an equilateral triangle.

(a)

Area of square = d²

Area of equilateral triangle = √3(29 - d)²/4

Total area,

A = d^{2}+\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\left ( 29-d \right )^{2}

Differentiate both sides with respect to d.

\frac{dA}{dt}=2d- \frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 2(29-d)

For maxima and minima, dA/dt = 0

d = 8.76 m

Differentiate again we get the

\frac{d^{2}A}{dt^{2}}= + ve

(a) So, the area is maximum when the side of square is 29 m

(b) so, the area is minimum when the side of square is 8.76 m

Answer:

PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST!!

Explanation:

A getting passenger getting down from a moving bus, falls in the direction of the motion of the bus. This is because his feet come to rest on touching the ground and the remaining body continues to move due to inertia of motion.

Thermal conductivity of a material is given as 129Btuft–¹ h–¹°F–¹.Calculate this thermal conductivity in Jm–¹s–¹°C–¹(Given: 1Btu
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

223.25 $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$

Explanation:

The thermal conductivity of an object is defined as the measure or the ability of the object to transfer heat or conduct heat through its body.

In the context, the thermal conductivity of the material is given as

$=129 \text{ Btu ft}^{-1}\text{h}^{-1}^\circ\text{F}^{-1}$

And it is given that :

1 Btu = 1055 J

1 ft = 0.3048 m

$1^\circ F = \frac{5}{9}^\circ C$

We know that 1 h = 3600 s

So the thermal conductivity of the material in $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$ is  :

Thermal conductivity :

$=\frac{129 \text{ Btu}}{1 \text{ ft }\times \text{1 h}\times 1^\circ\text{F}}$

$=\frac{129 \times 1055 \text{ J}}{0.3048 \text{ m} \ \times 3600 \text{ s}\ \times \frac{5}{9}^\circ \text{C}}$

=  223.25 $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$
