A pendulum is not a wave.
-- A pendulum doesn't have a 'wavelength'.
-- There's no way to define how many of its "waves" pass a point
every second.
-- Whatever you say is the speed of the pendulum, that speed
can only be true at one or two points in the pendulum's swing,
and it's different everywhere else in the swing.
-- The frequency of a pendulum depends only on the length
of the string from which it hangs.
If you take the given information and try to apply wave motion to it:
Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) ,
you would end up with
Frequency = (30 meter/sec) / (0.35 meter) = 85.7 Hz
Have you ever seen anything that could be described as
a pendulum, swinging or even wiggling back and forth
85 times every second ? ! ? That's pretty absurd.
This math is not applicable to the pendulum.
Answer: The correct option is option E (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year.
Explanation:
The earth, which is one of the planets of the solar system that supports life, is shperical in shape. The spherical ( round) shape of the earth is marked by the intervening highlands and oceans on its surface.
Evidence to show that the earth is shperical are:
--> The Lunar eclipse: During an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round.
--> Ships Visibility: When ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last.
-->Altitude of Polaris (North Star): The height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes. That is ,increases as you move toward the North pole, or decreases as you move toward the equator.
--> Aerial photographs: Photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body.
The statement that doesn't prove that the earth is spherical in shape is (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year). The sun is seen in front of stars blocking different constellation in a year because the earth orbits round the sun in a year and not that it is shperical in shape.
Answer:
C) Check that the numerical answer is reasonable and the units are what you expected.
Explanation:
I believe the last time the dead bird count was updated (12/16/16), there is a count of 1,350 dead birds. There is 1,350 dead birds from 33 countries have tested positive for WNV in 2016.
Answer:
We know there's two forces acting on a book while it sits on a table:the force of gravity pulling it down, and the normal force of the table acting upward on the book. The book isn't accelerating while it sits there. That's because the weight of the book is being counteracted by the normal force of the table.
Explanation:
There are two forces acting upon the book. One force - the Earth's gravitational pull - exerts a downward force. The other force - the push of the table on the book (sometimes referred to as a normal force) - pushes upward on the book.
