Answer:

2 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations in one second. It can also be calculate as the number of crests that pass on a given point in one second.

In this case, you count 16 waves that pass the given point in 8 seconds. Therefore, the frequency will be the number of waves divided by the time taken:

f=\frac{N}{t}=\frac{16}{8 s}=2 Hz

The SI unit for frequency is Hertz (Hz), or simply, the reciprocal of a second. It measures how fast an object could be moving. In this case, the frequency would be 16 wave crests per 8 seconds (16/8 = 2). In simplified answer, the frequency is 2 per second, or 2 Hz.

The moon doesn't fall to earth because of it's friction?​
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The Moon does not fall towards Earth right now because Earth rotates itself. The energy from the Earth's own rotation around its axis is gradually tranferred into energy of the Moon's orbital motion. That's why the Earth's rotating speed decreases but the distance to the Moon increases.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

If the boat is going 36 km/h, then it will take about 5.8 hours to travel a distance of 210 km/h.

Explanation:

To calculate time, you have to divide the distance by the speed.

In this case, we take 210 and divide it by 36. The answer you will get is 5.83...
