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

A 5.31 kg object is swung in a vertical circular path on a string 2.99 m long. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . If the

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

T = 120.3 N

Explanation:

Since, the tension in the rope is acting against both the centripetal force and the weight of the stone. As both act downward towards center of the circle and tension acts towards point of support that is upward. So, tension will be equal to the sum of centripetal force and weight of the stone:

Tension = Centripetal Force + Weight of Stone

T = mv²/r + mg

where,

m = mass of stone = 5.31 kg

r = radius of circle = length of string = 2.99 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

T = (5.31 kg)(6.2 m/s)²/(2.99 m) + (5.31 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

T = 68.27 N + 52.03 N

T = 120.3 N

An automobile engine delivers 55.0 hp. How much time will it take for the engine to do 6.22 × 105 J of work? One horsepower is e

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

15.2 s

Explanation:

Convert hp to W:

55.0 hp × 746 W/hp = 41,030 W

Power = energy / time

41030 W = 6.22×10⁵ J / t

t = 15.2 s

How many electrons are depicted in the electron dot diagram of an electrically neutral nitrogen atom? A. two B. six C. eight D.

goldenfox [79]

Answer is D - five.

Explanation;

- Electron dot diagrams show the valence electrons around the element by using dots.

- Valence electrons are the electrons which are in outermost shell of the atom.

-The atomic number of the N atom is 7.

Atomic number = number of protons = 7

If the atom is neutral,

number of protons = number of electrons.

Hence, N atom has 7 electrons.

- The electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³.

Hence, N atom has 2 + 3 = 5 valence electrons. So, five electrons are represented in electron dot diagram of N.

A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

d = 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is 0.251m

Explanation:

Given that

frequency of the sound is 5920 Hz

v=1485m/s

t=5.63s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

$velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\\\vt=2d\\\\d=\frac{vt}{2}$

$d=\frac{1485*5.63}{2}\\d= 4180.3m$

wavelengt of sound is $\lambda$ = v/f

= (1485)/(5920)

= 0.251 m

How high would you have to lift a 1000kg car to give it a potential energy of:

Elza [17]

Given parameters:

Mass of the car = 1000kg

Unknown:

Height = ?

To find the heights for the different amount potential energy given, we need to understand what potential energy is.

Potential energy is the energy at rest due to the position of a body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

P.E = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

h is the height of the car

Now the unknown is h, height and we make it the subject of the expression to make for easy calculation.

h = $\frac{P.E }{mg}$

For 2.0 x 10³ J;

h = $\frac{2000}{1000 x 9.8}$ = 0.204m

For 2.0 x 10⁵ J;

h = $\frac{200000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 20.4m

For 1.0kJ = 1 x 10³J;

h = $\frac{1000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 0.102m
