<h2>Answer:</h2>

1.3736

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The velocity (v) of a wave is given by the product of the frequency (f) and the wavelength (λ) of the wave; i.e

v = fλ           ------------------(i)

Now, the slope of 1/λ vs f implies that;

1/λ is on the vertical axis;

f is on the horizontal axis;

such that the slope s will be given as;

s = 1/λ ÷ f

s = (1/λ) x (1/f)

s = 1/(fλ)     -----------------------(ii)

<em>Since v = fλ from equation (i), substitute this into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

s = 1 / v        -------------------------(iii)

From the question, s = slope = 0.728

<em>Substitute this value of s into equation (iii) as follows;</em>

0.728 = 1 / v

<em>Solve for v;</em>

v = 1 / 0.728

v = 1.3736

Therefore, the wave velocity is 1.3736

Answer:

The wave velocity is 1.3736

Explanation:

A plot of inverse of wavelength (λ) versus frequency (f), can be analyzed as follows;

The vertical axis will be 1/λ and the horizontal axis will be f

slope = (Δ1/λ)/(Δf)

        = 1/(fλ)

∴ 1/(fλ) = 0.728

From wave equation, V = fλ

where;

V is the wave velocity

f is the frequency of the wave

λ is the wavelength

1/(fλ) = 0.728

1/(V) = 0.728

V = (0.728)⁻¹

V = 1.3736

Therefore, the wave velocity is 1.3736

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Please mark as Brainliest!!

Explanation:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the symbols for each element in the compound are followed by subscripts that tell us how many of that element are in the compound.

For an example, let's look at the the formula for compound glucose:

C 6  H 12  O 6

________

The subscripts that follow each element's symbol indicate how many of that element are in the compound.

A force of 35 N acts on a ball for 0.2 s. If the ball is initially at rest:
olya-2409 [2.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to momentum and momentum on a body. Both are equivalent values but can be found through different expressions. The impulse is the product of the Force for time while the momentum is the product between the mass and the velocity. The result of these operations yields equivalent units.

PART A ) The Impulse  can be calculcated as follows

L= F\Delta t

Where,

F = Force

\Delta t =Change in time

Replacing,

L = (35N)(0.2s)

L= 7N\cdot s

PART B) At the same time the momentum follows the conservation of momentum where:

Initial momentum= Final momentum

And the change in momentum is equal to the Impulse, then

\Delta p = L

And

\Delta p = p_f - p_i

There is not initial momentum then

\Delta p = p_f

L = p_f

p_f = 7N\cdot s = 7kg\cdot m/s

What is the direction of the field halfway between two horizontal parallel wires if the top wire has a current of 4 A to the lef
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

A) Out of the page.

Explanation:

Right-hand rule points the direction of the magnetic field at any point.

<u>Top wire</u>: Current is to the left. Point your thumb to the left and curl your other fingers around the wire. The tips of the four fingers points the direction of the field at that point. In this case, out of the page.

<u>Bottom wire</u>: Current is to the right. Point your thumb to the right and curl your other fingers around the wire. The tips of the four finger points out of the page again.

So, the total field produced by both wires is directed out of the page.

Another method to figure out the direction is the mathematical method.

Use the B-field formula:

d\vec{B} = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{Id\vec{l}\times \^r}{r^2}

The cross product between the direction of the current and the target position gives the direction of the B-field. If the left is -x direction and downwards is the -y direction, then

(-\^x) \times (-\^y) = +\^z for the top wire.

(+\^x) \times (+\^y) = +\^z for the bottom wire.

An attack helicopter is equipped with a 20- mm cannon that fires 88.7 g shells in the forward direction with a muzzle speed of 9
Svetradugi [14.3K]
The impulse imparted to the shells equals the change in the momentum:
Fav*(Delta t)= Delta m*v.
The mass change is
Delta m= n*m= (89.9shells)*(88.7g)=7.97Kg
So the average force is
F=((v)*(Delta m))/t= ((929)*(7.97))/4.84=1529.78 N
Since the velocity of the shells is much greater than the velocity of the helicopter, there is no need to use relative velocity.
