Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of waves, v is a product of frequency and wavelength expressed as v=fw where v is the velocity, f is frequency and w is wavelength.

Wavelength is defined as distance between two successive crests or troughs. In this case, the wavelength is 3m

Substituting 2 Hz for frequency and 3 m for wavelength then the speed of waves will be v=2*3=6 m/s

What properties of a sound wave determine volume, pitch, and timbre?

fiasKO [112]

Sound waves are changes in pressure generated by vibrating molecules. The physical characteristics of sound waves influence the three psychological features of sound: loudness, pitch, and timbre. Loudness depends on the amplitude,or height, of sound waves. The greater the amplitude, the louder the sound perceived.

A light horizontal spring has a spring constant of 138 N/m. A 3.35 kg block is pressed against one end of the spring, compressin

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$U_k = 0.113$

Explanation:

using the law of the conservation of energy:

$E_i -E_f=W_f$

$\frac{1}{2}Kx^2=NU_kd$

where K is the spring constant, x is the spring compression, N is the normal force of the block, $U_k$ is the coefficiet of kinetic friction and d is the distance.
