For a wave:

v = fλ

v is the velocity, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

Assuming the velocity of the wave doesn't change...

If you increase its frequency, its wavelength will shorten.

A 25 kg ball is thrown into the air when thrown it's going 10 m/s calculate how high it travels

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² downward.
So any object with only gravity acting on it gains 9.8 m/s of
downward speed every second.

If the rock starts out moving upward at 10 m/s, then it will
continue upward for only (10/9.8) = 1.02 second, before
it stops rising and starts falling.

Its average speed during that time is (1/2) (10 + 0) = 5 m/s .

At an average speed of 5 m/s for 1.02 sec,
the rock rises

(5 m/s) x (1.02 sec) = 5.102 meters .

A stone is launched straight up by a slingshot. Its initial speed is 19.6 m/s, and the stone is 1.50 m above the ground when lau

arlik [135]

Answer: a) 19.21m b) 3.92secs

Explanation:

a) Maximum height reached by the object is the height reached by an object before falling freely under gravity.

Maximum height = U²/2g

U is the initial velocity = 19.6m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Maximum Height = 19.6²/2(10)

H = 19.21m

b) The time elapsed before the stone hits the ground is the time of flight T= 2U/g

T= 2(19.6)/10

T = 39.2/10

Time elapsed is 3.92secs

A truck covers 47.0 m in 8.60 s while smoothly slowing down to final speed of 2.30 m/s. (a) Find its original speed.

Kruka [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, s = 47 m

Time taken, t = 8.6 s

Final speed of the truck, v = 2.3 m/s

Let u is the initial speed of the truck and a is its acceleration such that :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$ .............(1)

Now, the second equation of motion is :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Put the value of a in above equation as :

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times t^2$

$s=\dfrac{t(u+v)}{2}$

$u=\dfrac{2s}{t}-v$

$u=\dfrac{2\times 47}{8.6}-2.3$

u = 8.63 m/s

So, the original speed of the truck is 8.63 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

11 e) Can a conductor be given limitless charge? Obtain the equivalent resistance of several resistors if (a) they are in series

horsena [70]

Answer:

(e) no

(a) Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b) 1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''

Explanation:

11 e)

Practically it is not possible to give limitless charge to a conductor. It depends to the number of valence electrons.

(a) When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in series combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I.

According to Ohm's law

Voltage across R', V' = I R'

Voltage across R'', V'' = I R''

Voltage across R''', V''' = I R'''

So, let the equivalent resistance is Rs.

I Rs = I R' + I R'' + I R'''

Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b)

When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in parallel combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I', I''. I'''.

Current in R', I' = V/R'

Current in R'', I'' = V/R''

Current in R''', I''' = V/R'''

The equivalent resistance is Rp.

V/Rp = V/R' + V/ R'' + V/R'''

1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''

A campground official wants to measure the distance across an irregularly-shaped lake, but can't do so directly. He picks a poin

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

149 m

Explanation:

The distances across the lake is forming a triangle.

let the distance between the point and the left side be 'x'

and the distance between the point and the right be 'y'

and the distance across the lake be 'z' and the angle opposite to 'z' be 'Z' given:

∠Z = 83°

x = 105 m

y = 119 m

Now, applying the Law of Cosines, we get

z² = x² + y² - 2xycos(Z)

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

z² = 105² + 119² - 2×105×119×cos(83°)

z = √22140.48

z = 148.796 m ≈ 149 m

The point is 149 m across the lake
