Answer:
Explanation:
If the passage of the waves is one crest every 2.5 seconds, then that is the frequency of the wave, f.
The distance between the 2 crests (or troughs) is the wavelength, λ.
We want the velocity of this wave. The equation that relates these 3 things is
and filling in:
so
v = 2.5(2.0) and
v = 5.0 m/s
Given parameters:
Mass of object = 6.7kg
Velocity = 8m/s
Unknown parameter:
Kinetic energy = ?
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. There are two forms of energy;
Kinetic and potential energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body. Whereas, potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body usually at rest.
Kinetic energy is mathematically expressed as;
Kinetic energy =
where m is the mass of the body
v is the velocity of the body
Since we have been given both mass and velocity, input the parameter to solve for the unknown;
Kinetic energy = x 6.7 x 8² = 214.4J
So the kinetic energy of the body is 214.4J
