Answer: 4,32 10^10 m

Explanation: The relationshiop between the light speed, distance and time is given by:

speed of light = distance/time

distance= speed of ligth * time

distance= 3*10^8 m/s * 2.4*60 s= 4,32*10^10 m

A wave with a frequency of 1200 Hz propagates along a wire that is under a tension of 800 N. Its wavelength is 39.1 cm. What wil

mash [69]

Answer:

The wavelength will be 33.9 cm

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the wave, F = 1200 Hz

Tension on the wire, T = 800 N

wavelength, λ = 39.1 cm

$F = \frac{ \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }}{\lambda}$

Where;

F is the frequency of the wave

T is tension on the string

μ is mass per unit length of the string

λ is wavelength

$\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } = F \lambda\\\\\frac{T}{\mu} = F^2\lambda^2\\\\\mu = \frac{T}{F^2\lambda^2} \\\\\frac{T_1}{F^2\lambda _1^2} = \frac{T_2}{F^2\lambda _2^2} \\\\\frac{T_1}{\lambda _1^2} = \frac{T_2}{\lambda _2^2}\\\\T_1 \lambda _2^2 = T_2\lambda _1^2\\\\$

when the tension is decreased to 600 N, that is T₂ = 600 N

$T_1 \lambda _2^2 = T_2\lambda _1^2\\\\\lambda _2^2 = \frac{T_2\lambda _1^2}{T_1} \\\\\lambda _2 = \sqrt{\frac{T_2\lambda _1^2}{T_1}} \\\\\lambda _2 = \sqrt{\frac{600* 0.391^2}{800}}\\\\\lambda _2 = \sqrt{0.11466} \\\\\lambda _2 =0.339 \ m\\\\\lambda _2 =33.9 \ cm$

Therefore, the wavelength will be 33.9 cm

The wind blows a leaf at 37.9 m/s for 118 s left. How are does the leaf go in that period of time.

ziro4ka [17]

Explanation:

distance = velocity * time

d = 37.9 * 118

distance = 4472.2
