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 .

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The canon B hits the ground fast.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of cannon A = 85 m/s

Speed of cannon B= 100 m/s

Speed of cannon C = 75 m/s

We need to calculate the cannonballs will hit the ground with the greatest speed

Using conservation of energy

The final kinetic energy of canon depends on initial kinetic energy and potential energy.

The  final velocity depends upon initial velocity and initial height.

So,  the initial velocity of canon B is high.

Hence, The canon B hits the ground fast.

Provide descriptions and examples of the following forces: friction, gravity and elastic.
arsen [322]

Answer:

Friction:-

The friction force is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. There are at least two types of friction force - sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object. For example, if a book slides across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the opposite direction of its motion. Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely, causing inter molecular attractive forces between molecules of different surfaces. As such, friction depends upon the nature of the two surfaces and upon the degree to which they are pressed together. The maximum amount of friction force that a surface can exert upon an

EG:-

A coaster sliding against a table.

Gravity:-

The force of gravity is the force with which the earth, moon, or other massively large object attracts another object towards itself. By definition, this is the weight of the object. All objects upon earth experience a force of gravity that is directed "downward" towards the center of the earth. The force of gravity on earth is always equal to the weight of the object as found

EG:-

The force that causes a car to coast downhill even when you aren't stepping on the gas.

Elastic:-

Elasticity is the ability of a material to return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed. When an elastic material is stretched or compressed, it exerts elastic force. This force increases the more the material is stretched or compressed.

EG:-

An archer's stretched bow
