Answer:

Option D

The frequency

Explanation:

The speed of wave is depedant only on the wavelength and frequency of waves since it is given by s=fw where s is the speed, f is frequency and w is the wavelength. Since the options given has only one factor, that is frequency, hence option D is correct. In case we had wavelength could be among the options, both would be correct.

action and reaction are equal in magnitude and opposite direction then why they don't balance each other

Harrizon [31]

Action and reaction are equal in magnitude and opposite direction by they don't balance each other because they don't occur on the same body. Action is involved on one body and reaction is involved on another body.

Last night Mookie Betts hit a baseball at 32.5 m/s at a 45° angle. Betts

podryga [215]

Answer:

a) Since the height of the baseball at 99 m was 8.93 m and the fence at that distance is 3m tall, the hit was a home run.

b) The total distance traveled by the baseball was 108.7 m.

Explanation:

a) To know if the hit was a home run we need to calculate the height of the ball at 99 m:

$y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{f}$ : is the final height =?

$y_{0}$ : is the initial height = 1 m

$v_{0_{y}$ : is the initial vertical velocity = v₀sin(45)

v₀: is the initial velocity = 32.5 m/s

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

t: is the time

First, we need to find the time by using the following equation:

$t = \frac{x}{v_{0_{x}}} = \frac{99 m}{32.5 m/s*cos(45)} = 4.31 s$

Now, the height is:

$y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} = 1m + 32.5 m/s*sin(45)*4.31 s - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*(4.31 s)^{2} = 8.93 m$

Since the height of the baseball at 99 m was 8.93 m and the fence at that distance is 3m tall, the hit was a home run.

b) To find the distance traveled by the baseball first we need to find the time of flight:

$y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$0 = 1 m + 32.5m/s*sin(45)t - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}t^{2}$

$1 m + 32.5m/s*sin(45)t - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}t^{2} = 0$

By solving the above quadratic equation we have:

t = 4.73 s

Finally, with that time we can find the distance traveled by the baseball:

$x = v_{0_{x}}*t = 32.5 m/s*cos(45)*4.73 s = 108.7 m$

Hence, the total distance traveled by the baseball was 108.7 m.

I hope it helps you!

A book is thrown downward from the library window with a speed of 2.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}2.0 s m 2, point, 0, start frac

dem82 [27]

Answer: final Velocity v = 10.2m/s

Explanation:

Final speed v(t) is given as

v(t) = u + at .......1

Where; u = the initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time taken

The total distance travelled d is given as

d = ut + 1/2(at^2)

Given

d = 5.0m

u = 2.0m

a = g = 10m/s2 (acceleration due to gravity)

Substituting into the equation above we have

5 = 2t + 5t^2

5t^2 +2t -5 = 0

Applying the quadratic formula. We have;

t = 0.82s & t = -1.22s

t cannot be negative

t = 0.82s

From equation 1 above

v = 2.0m/s + 10(0.82)m/s

v = 10.2m/s

A very long solid insulating cylinder has radius R = 0.1 m and uniform charge density rho0= 10-3 C/m3. Find the electric field a

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

$E = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r \ \ N/c$

Explanation:

Given that:

$\rho_o = (10^{-3} ) \ c/m^3$

R = (0.1) m

To find the electric field for r < R by using Gauss Law

${\oint}E^{\to}* da^{\to} = \dfrac{Q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_o} --- (1)$

For r < R

$Q_{enclosed}=(\rho) ( \pi r^2 ) l$

$E*(2 \pi rl)= \dfrac{\rho ( \pi r ^2 l)}{\varepsilon_o}$

$E= \dfrac{\rho ( r)}{2 \varepsilon_o}$

where;

$\varepsilon_o = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

$E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}$

$E = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r \ \ N/c$
