What is the wave speed of a wave that has a frequency of 250 Hz and a wavelength of 0.35 m?

azamat

Answer:

87.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by

$v=\lambda f$

where

v is the wave speed

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

$f=250 Hz$ is the frequency

$\lambda=0.35 m$ is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation, we find

$v=(0.35 m)(250 Hz)=87.5 m/s$

A space probe lands on a newly discovered planet. A small canister is released from the probe and falls a distance of 3 m in 0.5

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

24m/s²

Explanation:

Given

Distance S = 3m

Time of fall = 0.5sec

Required

Acceleration due to gravity

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2gt²

Substitute the given values

3 = 0+1/2g(0.5)²

3 = 1/2(0.25)g

3 = 0.125g

g = 3/0.125

g = 24

Hence the value for the acceleration of gravity on this new planet is 24m/s²

2. Tomas is hanging from a tree limb, that is inclined at a 65° angle. The force

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

57 N

Explanation:

Were are told that the force

of gravity on Tomas is 57 N.

And it acts at an inclined angle of 65°

Thus;

The vertical component of the velocity is; F_y = 57 sin 65

While the horizontal component is;

F_x = 57 cos 65

Thus;

F_y = 51.66 N

F_x = 24.09 N

The net force will be;

F_net = √((F_y)² + (F_x)²)

F_net = √(51.66² + 24.09²)

F_net = √3249.0837

F_net = 57 N
