Answer:

v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}

Explanation:

If we have a periodic wave we need to satisfy the following basic relationship:

v = \lambda f

From the last formula we see that the velocity is proportional fo the frequency.

For this case we have the following info given by the problem:

T= 0.2 s, \lambda =32 cm* \frac{1m}{100cm} =0.32 m, A= 3cm*\frac{1m}{100 cm}=0.03 m

We know that the frequency is the reciprocal of the period so we have this formula:

f = \frac{1}{T}

And if we replace we got:

f =\frac{1}{0.2 s}= 5Hz

Now since we have the value for the wavelength we can find the velocity like this:

v = 0.32 m * 5Hz = 1.6 \frac{m}{s}

And if we convert this into cm/s we got:

v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The velocity of the pin is opposite its acceleration on the way up.

(d) option is correct.

Explanation:

when the juggler throws a bowling pin straight in the air, the acceleration working on the pin is in the downward direction due to the gravitational force of the earth.

According to Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation

''The gravitational force is a force that attracts any objects with mass''
