Explanation:

The wavelength, λ defined as the total distance traveled by the wave in one full cycle of motion. In other words, wavelength can be given by horizontal distance between repeating units of wave pattern.

Also, the wavelength of a transverse wave can be measured as the distance between two adjacent crests or troughs.

λ × f = v

Where,

f = frequency in Hz

v = speed in m/s

An astronaut has a mass of 75 kg and is floating in space 500 m from his 125,000 kg spacecraft. What will be the force of gravit

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1. 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Explanation:

1. Determination of the force of attraction.

Mass of astronaut (M₁) = 75 Kg

Mass of spacecraft (M₂) = 125000 Kg

Distance apart (r) = 500 m

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

Force of attraction (F) =?

The force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft can be obtained as follow:

F = GM₁M₂ /r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 75 × 125000 / 500²

F = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Thus, the force of attraction between the astronaut and his spacecraft is 2.5×10¯⁹ N

2. Determination of the acceleration of the astronaut.

Mass of astronaut (m) = 75 Kg

Force (F) = 2.5×10¯⁹ N

Acceleration (a) of astronaut =?

The acceleration of the astronaut can be obtained as follow:

F = ma

2.5×10¯⁹ N = 75 × a

Divide both side by 75

a = 2.5×10¯⁹ / 75

a = 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

Thus, the acceleration the astronaut is 3.33×10¯¹¹ m/s²

when do you use cos and sin in situations like these? is horizontal always cos and vertical always sin?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

this is simple

the horizontal line is adjacent

the vertical line is opposite

recall that cos x=adj/hyp

adj=hyp(cos x)

while opp=hyp(sin x)

¿Cuantos metros recorre una motocicleta en un segundo si circula a una velocidad de 90km/h?

Zina [86]

Answer:

La motocicleta recorre 25 metros en 1 segundo si circula a una velocidad de 90 km/h

Explanation:

La velocidad es una magnitud que expresa el desplazamiento que realiza un objeto en una unidad determinada de tiempo, esto es, relaciona el cambio de posición (o desplazamiento) con el tiempo.

Siendo la velocidad es el espacio recorrido en un período de tiempo determinado, entonces 90 km/h indica que en 1 hora la motocicleta recorre 90 km. Entonces, siendo 1 h= 3600 segundos (1 h=60 minutos y 1 minuto=60 segundos) podes aplicar la siguiente regla de tres: si en 3600 segundos (1 hora) la motocicleta recorre 90 km, entonces en 1 segundo ¿cuánta distancia recorrerá?

$distancia=\frac{1 segundo*90 km}{3600 segundos}$

distancia= 0.025 km

Por otro lado, aplicas la siguiente regla de tres: si 1 km es igual a 1,000 metros, ¿0.025 km cuántos metros son?

$distancia=\frac{0.025 km*1,000 metros}{1 km}$

distancia= 25 metros

La motocicleta recorre 25 metros en 1 segundo si circula a una velocidad de 90 km/h
