Answer:

1.5 m/s.

Explanation:

The Speed of a wave is the product of the wavelength and its  frequency or it is the ratio of it wavelength and its Period. It can be expressed mathematically as

V = λf or λ/T .............................. Equation 1

Where V = speed of the wave travelling on the string, λ = wavelength of the wave, T = period of the wave, F = frequency of the wave.

Given: λ = 1.8 m ( distance it takes to repeat itself), T = 1.2 s (Time taken to complete a full cycle)

Substitute into equation 1

V = 1.8/1.2

V = 1.5 m/s.

Hence the wave is 1.5 m/s fast.

Tarzan swings on a 36.0 m long vine initially inclined at an angle of 31.0◦ with the vertical. The acceleration of gravity if 9.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

  v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Length of the vine, l = 36 m

Angle of inclination = 31.0◦ with the vertical

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Using Conservation of energy

      KE = PE

 \dfrac{1}{2} mv^2 = m g h

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2 g l(1-\cos \theta)

v = \sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 36 \times (1-\cos 31^0)

  v = 10 m/s

Hence, the speed of the swing is equal to 10 m/s

Professional Application: A 30,000-kg freight car is coasting at 0.850 m/s with negligible friction under a hopper that dumps 11
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

0.182 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = 30,000 kg, m2 = 110,000 kg, u1 = 0.85 m/s

let the velocity of loaded freight car is v

Use the conservation of momentum

m1 x u1 + m2 x 0 = (m1 + m2) x v

30,000 x 0.85 = (30,000 + 110,000) x v

v = 0.182 m/s

If engine oil gets into the brake fluid, which of the following will happen? A. Rubber seals will swell. B. Everything should op
wlad13 [49]
The answers are A and D.

Engine oil reacts with rubber, changing its properties and causing it to expand. This will compromise rubber seals in the brake system and lead to a failure.

In major league baseball, the pitcher's mound is 60 feet from the batter.If a pitcher throws a 89 mph fastball, how much time el
lianna [129]
<span>Hitting can be broken down into three segments; SEE, REACT, SWING. You watch the ball in the pitcher's hand during the windup and you watch the ball leave the pitcher's hand when it is thrown and you watch the spin of the ball as it comes towards the plate. That is SEE. You determine what the pitch is (fastball, curveball, etc.), you determine where the ball is going to go and you determine whether it is headed towards an area that you think you can get good wood on it. That is REACT. You swing if you like the pitch or don't swing if you don't like the pitch. That is SWING. It doesn't make any difference whether you are playing with a tennis ball or a golf ball or a baseball. The theory and mechanics are the same. So, to answer your question I would say the more you practice the better you will be, regardless of the type of ball you use to practice with.</span>
