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

You know your mass is 62 kg but when you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator it says your mass is 77 kg what is the acceler

lbvjy [14]

In a stationary situation, the weight of person is
$W=mg=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 608.2 N$
This is the weight "felt" by the scale, which is basically the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which uses the value of g (9.81) as reference to convert the weight (602.8 N) into a mass (62 kg).

When the person is in the elevator, the scale says 77 kg. The scale is still using the same value of conversion (9.81), so the apparent weight "felt" by the scale is
$W' = m'g=(77 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=755.4 N$
This is the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which is directed upward. Besides this force, there is still the weight W of the person, acting downward. So, if we use Newton's second law:
$\sum F = ma$
$W-W'=ma$
where a is the acceleration of the elevator. If we solve for a, we find
$a= \frac{W-W'}{m}= \frac{608.2N-755.4N}{62 kg}=-2.37 m/s^2$
The negative sign means the acceleration is in the opposite direction of g (which we take positive), so it means the elevator is going upward.

How do I know if i’m doing number 2 right?

Ksju [112]

We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.

Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.

The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.

Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.

We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.
