if waves on the lake have a frequency of 3 hertz and a wavelength of 4 meters,what is the speed of the waves?

1 answer:

5 0

You have to use the equation v=λf
v is the velocity of the wave
λ is the wave length of the wave (how far the wave goes in one cycle)
f is the frequency of the wave (how long one cycle is)

V=4m×3Hz
v=12m/s

Hz stands for s⁻¹ which is why the final units is m/s

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

22. Which statement best describes the use of catalytic converters in automobiles?

AysviL [449]

Answer:

B. They oxidize hydrocarbons to form less toxic gases.

Explanation:

A catalytic converter can be defined as an anti-pollution device containing a catalyst like platinum-iridium, installed in the exhaust chamber of an automobile so as to chemically convert harmful (poisonous) pollutants such as unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (S02), nitrogen oxide (NO) etc., into less harmful, poisonous or toxic chemical compounds.

This ultimately implies that, catalytic converters are typically used for converting harmful gases into less harmful, poisonous or toxic gases and molecules e.g carbon dioxide (C02) and water (H2O). This helps to prevent global warming, enhance the conservation of natural resources, as well as preserve the lives of living organisms and their natural habitat.

<em>Hence, the statement which best describes the use of catalytic converters in automobiles is that they oxidize hydrocarbons to form less toxic gases.</em>

Calculate the molar concentration of the Br⁻ ions in 0.51 M MgBr2(aq), assuming that the dissolved substance dissociates complet

Y_Kistochka [10]

MgBr2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Br⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of MgBr2 that dissolves.
MgBr2(s) --> Mg+(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)
[Br⁻] = 0.51 mol MgBr2/1L × 2 mol Br⁻ / 1 mol MgBr2 = 1.0 M
The answer to this question is [Br⁻] = 1.0 M

Make the following conversions. Show your calculations.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

1. 500 cm = 5 m

2. 1000 g = 1 kg

3. 455 L = 45, 500 cL

4. 0.865 m = 0.00865 m or 8.65 * 10^-3 n

5. 33.5 cm = 335 mm

6. 0.0198 m = 19800 micrometers

7. 57.65 cg = 5.765 * 10^8 nanograms

8. 1000 L = 1 kl

9. 99 degrees F = 37.222 degrees C

Explanation:

1. One meter = 100 centimeters

500 centimeters/ 100 centimeters = 5 meters

2. One kilogram = 1000 grams.

1000 grams/1000 grams = 1 kilogram

3. One Liter = 100 centiliters

455 liters * 100 centiliters = 45, 500 centiliters

4. One meter = 100 centimeters

0.865 centimeters/100 centimeters = 0.00865 meters

5. One centimeter = 10 millimeters

33.5 centimeters * 10 millimeters = 335 millimeters

6. One meter = 1.0 * 10^6 micrometers

0.0198 meters * 1 * 10^6 micrometers = 19800 micrometers.

7. One centigram = 1.0 * 10^7 nanograms

57.65 centigrams * 1 * 10^7 nanograms = 5.765 * 10^8 nanograms.

8. One kiloliter = 1000 L

1000 L/ 1000 L = 1 kiloliter

9. The formula for finding Celsius is 5/9(f - 32)

So 5/9(99 - 32) = x

5/9(67) = x

x = 335/9 or 37.222 degrees Celsius.
