Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional.
A shorter wavelength implies a higher frequency.

What is rotation and revolution

skad [1K]

When an object turns around an internal axis (like the Earth turns around its axis) it is called a rotation. When an object circles an external axis (like the Earth circles the sun) it is called a revolution.

Statements best explains why a scientific theory can be revised?

Vadim26 [7]

Answer: Because new theories can come out that better explain observations and experimental results can replace old theories.

Explanation: Theories more than ten years old are usually out of date. Scientists want to prove that the work of other scientists is wrong. New evidence that supports a change prompts scientists to modify earlier theories.

Two identical objects, A and B, are sitting on a table. If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10

sveta [45]

If the net force on object A is 5 N and the net force on object B is 10 N, then object B will accelerate more quickly than object A provided the mass of both objects are same.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation: </u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force applied on an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object. In order to state this law in terms of acceleration, it is stated that acceleration exhibited by any object is directly proportional to the net force applied on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object as shown below:

$\text {Acceleration of the object } \propto \frac{\text {Net force on the object}}{\text {Mass of the object}}$

So if two objects A and B are identical which means they have same mass, then the acceleration attained by the object will be directly proportionate to the net forces exerted on the objects only.

Thus if the force applied is more for one object, then the object will be exhibiting more acceleration compared to the other one. So as object B is experiencing a net force of 10 N which is greater than the net force experiences by object A, then the object B will be accelerating more quickly compared to the object A's acceleration.

If a puddle of water is frozen, do the particles in the ice have kinetic energy? Explain.

TEA [102]

They have some but not very much, the particles in the ice are still vibrating just not as much as in water. the only time a substance would have 0 kinetic energy is when that substance is at 0 degrees kelvin(absolute zero) so far no place in the universe has been recorded at absolute zero though

Suppose a piano tuner hears 2 beats per second when listening to the combined sound from her tuning fork and the piano note bein

maksim [4K]

Answer:

further tightening is required.

Explanation:

The beat created / sec = difference of frequencies

Initial beat heard = 2

so difference of frequencies = 2

after tightening beat heard = 1

difference of frequencies decreases because frequency of tuning fork was higher than piano sound.

on further tightening difference decreases because tightening increases the frequency of piano hence further tightening is required for resonance.
