It seems like the question is asking for the frequency.
Given: 
Time period (T) = 2.4 sec

Frequency (f) =? 

We know that the formula for frequency is:

Frequency (f) = 1/time period (T) 

= 1 / 2.4 s 

= 0.42 Hz. is the frequency for this problem.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Doppler's effect of sound .

speaker is the source , Jason is the observer . Source is moving at 10 m /s , observer is moving at  6 m/s .

apparent frequency = f_o\times\frac{V+v_o}{ V-v_s}

V is velocity of sound , v₀ is velocity of observer and v_s is velocity of source and f_o is real frequency of source .

Here V = 340 m/s , v₀ is 6 m/s , v_s is 10 m/s . f_o = f

apparent frequency =  f\times \frac{340+6}{340-10}

= f\times \frac{346}{330}

So m = 346 , n = 330 .

What is a period in physics?<br>​
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The period of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle. Period, being a time, is measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days or years. The period of orbit for the Earth around the Sun is approximately 365 days; it takes 365 days for the Earth to complete a cycle.

As air is heated, the particles speed up and spread out (becoming less dense). Hot air balloon pilots can change the balloon’s a
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Turn the heater on  

Explanation:

There are two main forces involved in a balloon flight

The downward force is the total weight of the balloon: the air it contains, the gas bag, the basket, the passengers, etc.

The upward force is the weight of the of the air the balloon displaces.

During level flight ,

buoyant force = weight of displaced air - total weight of balloon

If you increase the temperature of the air in the bag, the air molecules spread out and leave through the bottom of the bag.  

The balloon still has the same volume, so the weight of displaced outside air stays the same.

However, the balloon has lost some hot inside air, so its total weight decreases.  

The upward force is greater than the downward force, so the balloon rises.
