Answer:

C is halved

Explanation:

The frequency and the wavelength of a wave are related by the equation:

$v=f\lambda$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

From the equation above, we see that for a given wave, if the wave is travelling in the same medium (and so, its speed is not changing), then the frequency and the wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

Therefore, if the frequency doubles, the wavelength will halve in order to keep the speed constant:

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}\\\lambda' = \frac{v}{f'}=\frac{v}{2f}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{v}{f})=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

If 2 grams of element X combine with 4 grams of element Y to form compound XY, how many grams of element Y would combine with 11

kykrilka [37]

This is sort of simple. 2 grams of X can combine with 4 grams of Y to form XY. Y is 2 times the amount of grams in X. So if there are 11 grams of X there are 22 grams of Y to form XY. Or you could take 11 divided by 2 is 5.5 and then multiply 4 by 5.5 to get 22. If this is wrong please tell me I would be very happy to know.

Which of the following statement(s) about energy and phase is/are correct? Select all that apply. Choose one or more: A. While o

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Option (A) and (D) are the correct statements.

Explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object due to its position. Whereas kinetic energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object due to the motion of its molecules.

When there will be only one phase present then addition or removal of energy will lead to change in kinetic energy of the substance but no change in potential energy will take place.

Whereas if change in phase is occurring then adding or removing any energy will lead to change in potential energy of the substance while kinetic energy will remain the same.

Thus, we can conclude that correct statements are as follows.

While only one phase is present, adding or removing energy changes PE but not KE.

During a phase change, adding or removing energy changes PE but not KE.

Lagrangian mechanics. Determine the equations of motion for a particle of mass m constrained to move on the surface of a cone in

maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi!

In order to obtain the Lagrangian of the system we must first write the Kinetic and Potential Energies. Lets orient our axes such that the axis of the cone coincide with the z axis. In cilindrical coordinates we have

$v^{2} = \frac{dr}{dt}^{2} +r^{2} \frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2} +\frac{dz}{dt} ^{2}$ - (1)

But, since the particle is constrained to move on the surface of the cilinder, we have the following relation between r and z:

$\frac{r}{z}=tan(45)$

or:

$z = r cot(45)$ - (2)

and:

$\frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{dr}{dt} cot(45)$

replacing (2) in (1) we obtain:

$v^{2} = \frac{dr}{dt}^{2} (1+cot(45))+r^{2}\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2}$ - (3)

Now the kinetic energy is given as:

$T = \frac{1}{2}m(\frac{dr}{dt}^{2} (1+cot(45))+r^{2}\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2})$ - (4)

And the potential energy is given by:

$V = -mgz = -mgr cot(45)$

So the Langrangian is given by:

$L = T - V= \frac{1}{2}m(\frac{dr}{dt}^{2}(1+cot(45)+r^{2})\frac{d\theta }{dt} ^{2}) + mgr cot(45)$

And the equations of motion are:

For θ

$\frac{d}{dt} (mr\frac{d\theta}{dt}) = 0-->mr{d\theta}{dt}=c$

For r

$\frac{d}{dt}(m\frac{dr}{dt}(1+cot(45) )= mgcot(45)+mr\frac{d\theta}{dt} ^{2}\\m\frac{d^{2} r}{dt^{2} }(1+cot(45)= mgcot(45)+mr\frac{d\theta}{dt} ^{2}$

Obtained from the Euler-Langrange equations

Here the conserved quantity is given by the first equation of motion, namely:

$mr\frac{d\theta}{dt}=c$
