Answer:

Part a) $T=\frac{1}{9}\ sec$

Part b) $v=45\ m/sec$

Explanation:

Part a) What is the period of these waves?

we know that

Since wave frequency (f) is the number of waves per second, and the period (T) is essentially the number of seconds per wave, the relationship between frequency and period is

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

we have

$f=9\ Hz$

Remember that

1 Hz is one cycle (or one wave) per second

$T=\frac{1}{9}\ sec$

Part b) What is the wave velocity?

we know that

The speed of a wave (v) is equal to the frequency multiplied by the wavelength

we have

$f=9\ Hz$

$wavelength=5\ m$

$v=(9)(5)=45\ m/sec$

When one body(sun) exerts a force on a second body(planet), the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the first body. Which makes the planet orbit in path C.

The static frictional force between a 95-kilogram object and the floor is 45 Newtons. The kinetic frictional force is only 22 Ne

Lisa [10]

Answer:

F = 69.5 [N]

Explanation:

We must remember that the friction force is defined as the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction, and it can be calculated by the following expression.

$f=N*miu$

where:

N = normal force [N]

miu = friction coefficient

f = friction force = 22 [N]

Now we must calculate the force exerted by means of Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

$F - f = m*a$
