Answer:

The wavelength will be 4 cm, frequency will be 4.66 Hz and wave speed is 18.6 cm/sec

Explanation:

Given:

No. of crest = 13

No. of trough = 15

Time = 3 seconds

Hence, 1 crest or 1 trough = $\frac{1}{2}\lambda$

therefore,

13 C + 15 T = $28(\frac{1}{2}\lambda)$

= $14\lambda$

Time given 3 seconds

= $\frac{3}{14}s$

$\nu= \frac{14}{3}$

$\nu= 4.6 Hz \approx 5 Hz$

2 cm distance is travelled is time period

$\lambda = 4 cm$

Again wave will travel in 1 T = 4 cm

wave speed v = $\lambda\times\nu$

= $4\times\frac{14}{3}$

= 18.6 cm/s

A force in the +x-direction with magnitude ????(x) = 18.0 N − (0.530 N/m)x is applied to a 6.00 kg box that is sitting on the ho

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

$v_f=8.17\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

First, we calculate the work done by this force after the box traveled 14 m, which is given by:

$W=\int\limits^{x_f}_{x_0} {F(x)} \, dx \\W=\int\limits^{14}_{0} ({18N-0.530\frac{N}{m}x}) \, dx\\W=[(18N)x-(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{x^2}{2}]^{14}_{0}\\W=(18N)14m-(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{(14m)^2}{2}-(18N)0+(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{0^2}{2}\\W=252N\cdot m-52N\cdot m\\W=200N\cdot m$

Since we have a frictionless surface, according to the the work–energy principle, the work done by all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle, that is:

$W=\Delta K\\W=K_f-K_i\\W=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}$

The box is initially at rest, so $v_i=0$ . Solving for $v_f$ :

$v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m}}\\v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2(200N\cdot m)}{6kg}}\\v_f=\sqrt{66.67\frac{m^2}{s^2}}\\v_f=8.17\frac{m}{s}$

A student is wearing a pair of sunglasses designed to reduce the glare from reflected surfaces. When the student tilts her head

agasfer [191]

The answer is polarization. It is just like when you are on a boat and use polarized glasses so the water wont reflect into your eyes it also intensifies the color of the water so you can see better into the water.
example: you cant see any fish because glare from the sun, put on polarized glasses and now you can see fish up to 30 feet deep.

A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. the waves move at 56 km/h and have a wavelength of 160 m, bot

Lera25 [3.4K]

The wavelength $\lambda$ of the wave is 160 m, and this is the distance between two consecutive crests. The boat is located at a crest of the wave, this means that the first trough is located 80 meters from the boat (because the distance between a crest and a trough is half the wavelength).

The speed of the wave is
$v=56 km/h = 15.6 m/s$
so the time the boat takes to reach the first trough is
$t= \frac{S}{v} = \frac{80 m}{15.6 m/s}=5.1 s$

Acid rain contributes to soil erosion. Acid rain can be caused by

elixir [45]

It can be caused by chemical reactions like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. These can rise very high in the atmosphere. They can mix in with oxygen and rain and thats where you get your acid rain from

I hope this is helpful <span />

A vector has an x-component

NeTakaya

Answer:

34.45m

Explanation:

Magnitude of a vector is equal to the square root of sum of squares of x & y vectors.

Magnitude = $\sqrt({x^2} + {y^2})$

= $\sqrt({19.5^2} + {28.4^2})$

=34.45m
