Explanation:

Wave is defined as a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space-time, accompanied by a transfer of energy. Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.

The velocity of wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second). Longitudinal waves like sound waves travel through a medium.

Therefore, a wave move from a layer of high velocity to that of a lower velocity the wavelength changes (that is, decreases) as it moves.

A water slide is constructed so that swimmers, starting from rest at the top of the slide, leave the end of the slide traveling
Natalka [10]

Answer:

H = 5 m

Explanation:

As the person leaves the slide horizontally so the time taken by the person to hit the water is given as

t = 0.672 s

so we can find the vertical velocity by which person will hit the water using kinematics

v_y = u_y + at

v_y = 0 + (9.81)(0.672)

v_y = 6.6 m/s

now the speed of the person at the end of the slide is given as

v = \frac{L}{t}

v = \frac{5}{0.672}

v_x = 7.44 m/s

now by energy conservation we can find the initial height

mgH = \frac{1}{2}m(v_x^2 + v_y^2)

H = \frac{1}{2g}(v_x^2 + v_y^2)

H = \frac{1}{2(9.81)}(7.44^2 + 6.6^2)

H = 5 m

What is. the units of velocity
natta225 [31]

Speed and velocity are both measured using the same units. The SI unit of distance and displacement is the meter. The SI unit of time is the second. The SI unit of speed and velocity is the ratio of two — the meter per second.

I want to quit guitar how should I tell my parents
Alex

Answer:

You should tell them that your just not interested in it anymore and that you would like to do something else besides playing guitar you should probably explain to them why you dont want to play anymore. I hoped this helped- Best of luck.
