netineya [11]

Answer:

-1500 m/s2

Explanation:

So the ball velocity changes from 10m/s into the wall to -8m/s in a totally opposite direction within a time span of 0.012s. Then we can calculate the average acceleration of the ball as the change in velocity over a unit of time.

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{-8 - 10}{0.012} = \frac{-18}{0.012} = -1500 m/s^2$

A 800hz tuning fork is vibrating, producing a sound wave in the air.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The frequency of the sound wave is 800Hz

The speed of sound in a is about 340m/s.

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

making wavelength the subject formula

wavelength = Velocity/frequency.

wavelength = 340/800

wavelength = 0.425m.

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

a) true

Explanation:

The san andres is a transform fault that forms boundary between the Pacific and the North Atlantic plate and this slip strike is characterized by the latex motion the fault runs in the length of the California state.

This plate is widely estimated for the high magnitude of earthquakes and varies from 7.7 to 8.3 magnitude. They are capable of producing a deadly tsunami that can devastate the pacific northwest.
