Answer:

The speed is 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance that propagates through a certain medium or in a vacuum, with transport of energy but without transport of matter.

The wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points of the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The speed of propagation is the speed with which the wave propagates in the middle, that is, the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) inversely proportionally using the following equation:

v = f * λ.

In this case, λ= 8 meter and f= 3 Hz

Then:

v= 3 Hz* 8 meter

So:

v= 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

<u><em>The speed is 24 </em></u> $\frac{meter}{s}$ <u><em></em></u>

Tom has two pendulums with him. Pendulum 1 has a ball of mass 0.2 kg attached to it and has a length of 5 m. Pendulum 2 has a ba

mars1129 [50]

Given Information:

Pendulum 1 mass = m₁ = 0.2 kg

Pendulum 2 mass = m₂ = 0.6 kg

Pendulum 1 length = L₁ = 5 m

Pendulum 2 length = L₂ = 1 m

Required Information:

Affect of mass on the frequency of the pendulum = ?

Answer:

The mass of the ball will not affect the frequency of the pendulum.

Explanation:

The relation between period and frequency of pendulum is given by

f = 1/T

The period of pendulum is given by

T = 2π√(L/g)

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity and L is the length of the string

As you can see the period (and frequency too) of pendulum is independent of the mass of the pendulum. Therefore, the mass of the ball will not affect the frequency of the pendulum.

Bonus:

Pendulum 1:

T₁ = 2π√(L₁/g)

T₁ = 2π√(5/9.8)

T₁ = 4.49 s

f₁ = 1/T₁

f₁ = 1/4.49

f₁ = 0.22 Hz

Pendulum 2:

T₂ = 2π√(L₂/g)

T₂ = 2π√(1/9.8)

T₂ = 2.0 s

f₂ = 1/T₂

f₂ = 1/2.0

f₂ = 0.5 Hz

So we can conclude that the higher length of the string increases the period of the pendulum and decreases the frequency of the pendulum.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

33.6 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 47.41 m/s²

t = 1.19 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (1.19 s) + ½ (47.41 m/s²) (1.19 s)²

Δx = 33.6 m
