Physics

Nostrana [21]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Incorrect statement is (b).

Explanation:

Option (a) : There is an inverse relation between the time and the frequency. The time taken depends on the frequency of the number of oscillations. Statement 1 is correct i.e. the time taken by any point of the wave to make one complete oscillation does not depend on the amplitude.

Option (b) : Speed of a wave is given by the product of its frequency and wavelength. It is not necessary that doubling the wavelength of the wave will halve its frequency as speed depends on the medium.

Option (c) : Doubling the amplitude has no effect on on the wavelength as amplitude does not depends on its wavelength.

Option (d) : Since, v=f\times \lambda

Speed is directly proportional to the frequency and wavelength. So, doubling the frequency of the wave will double its speed. So, the incorrect statement is (b).

Answer:

The gravitational force is 3.509*10^17 times larger than the electrostatic force.

Explanation:

The Newton's law of universal gravitation and Coulombs law are:

F_{N}=G m_{1}m_{2}/r^{2}\\F_{C}=k q_{1}q_{2}/r^{2}

Where:

G= 6.674×10^−11 N · (m/kg)2

k =  8.987×10^9 N·m2/C2

We can obtain the ratio of these forces dividing them:

\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{kq_{1}q_{2}}=0.742\times10^{-20}\frac{C^{2}}{kg^{2}}\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{q_{1}q_{2}}   --- (1)

The mass of the moon is 7.347 × 10^22 kilograms

The mass of the earth is  5.972 × 10^24 kg

And q1=q2=Na*e=(6.022*10^23)*(1.6*10^-19)C=9.635*10^4 C

Replacing these values in eq1:

\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}}}=0.742\times10^{-20}\frac{C^{2}}{kg^{2}}\frac{7.347\times5.972\times10^{46}kg^{2}}{(9.635\times10^{4})^{2}}

Therefore

\frac{F_{N}}{F_{C}}}}=3.509\times10^{17}

This means that the gravitational force is 3.509*10^17 times larger than the electrostatic force, when comparing the earth-moon gravitational field vs 1mol electrons - 1mol protons electrostatic field

Air resistance is an example of what type of friction?
Sav [38]
Well, Air resistance is a special type of friction (you cannot classify it in other categories). That force of air-resistance is often observed to oppose the motion of the object,( like every other frictional forces)

Hope this helps!

Relationship between frequency, amplitude, wavelength and energy in a transverse wave.
liq [111]
In a transverse wave:
- Oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy travelling
- Frequency is the amount of complete waves passing a certain point in one second (measured in hertz, Hz)
- Wavelength is the distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the following wave
- The amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particles from their average position (and be measured from the horizontal mid-point of the wave to either the peak or trough)

There isn't always a defined relationship between these features. However, frequency × wavelength = velocity of the wave.

Compare tidal range to spring tide
makkiz [27]

Spring tides have higher high tides and lower low tides whereas neap tides have lower high tides and higher low tides. Hence, the range is much larger in a spring tide than in a low tide.
