This question is incomplete; here is the complete question:

Marco is conducting an experiment. He knows the wave that he is working with has a wavelength of 32.4 cm. If he measures the frequency as 3 hertz, which statement about the wave is accurate?

A. The wave has traveled 32.4 cm in 3 seconds.

B. The wave has traveled 32.4 cm in 9 seconds.

C. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 3 seconds.

D. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 1 second.

The answer to this question is D. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 1 second.

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave, which is in this case 3 hertz, represents the number of waves that go through a point during 1 second. According to this, if the frequency of the wave is 3 hertz this means in 1 second there were 3 waves. Moreover, if you multiply the wavelength (32.4cm) by the frequency (3) you will know the distance the wave traveled in 1 second: 32.4 x 3 =  97.2 cm. This makes option D the correct one as the distance in 1 second was 97.2 cm.

If a ping pong ball and a golf ball are both moving in the same direction with the same amount of kinetic energy, the speed of t
Liono4ka [1.6K]

If the kinetic energy of each ball is equal to that of the other,
then

(1/2) (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (1/2) (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Multiply each side by 2:

      (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²

Divide each side by (mass of gb) and by (speed of ppb)² :

     (mass of ppb)/(mass of gb)  =  (speed of gb)²/(speed of ppb)²

Take square root of each side:

       √ (ratio of their masses)  =  ( 1 / ratio of their speeds)²

By trying to do this perfectly rigorously and elegantly, I'm also
using up a lot of space and guaranteeing that nobody will be
able to follow what I have written.  Let's just come in from the
cold, and say it the clear, easy way:

If their kinetic energies are equal, then the product of each
mass and its speed² must be the same number.

If one ball has less mass than the other one, then the speed²
of the lighter one must be greater than the speed² of the heavier
one, in order to keep the products equal.

The pingpong ball is moving faster than the golf ball.

The directions of their motions are irrelevant.

A soccer ball is traveling at a velocity of 50 m/s. The kinetic energy of the ball is 500 J. What is the mass of the soccer ball
Savatey [412]
A soccer ball is traveling at a velocity of 50 m/s. The kinetic energy of the ball is 500 J.The mass of the soccer ball is 0.4 kgs. This answer is derived from the formula K=1/2 MV^2.So velocity and kinetic energy are given from that mass of the ball is calculated.By substituting the values 500=1/2*M*50*50 which gives M=0.4 Kgs.<span>

1. How much force is needed to accelerate a 66 kg skier<br> at 2 m/sec2?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

<h2>132 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 66 × 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>132 N</h3>

A skater slides across the ice with an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s. She slows 10 points
zvonat [6]

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a skater is, u = 5 m/s

She slows to a velocity of 2 m/s over a distance of 20 m.

We can find the acceleration of skater. It is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So, it can be calculated using third equation of motion as follows :

v^2-u^2=2as

a = acceleration

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2-(5)^2}{2\times 20}\\\\a=-0.525\ m/s^2

So, her acceleration is 0.525\ m/s^2 and she is deaccelerating. Also, her initial velocity is given i.e. 5 m/s.
