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.

Answer:

9.412 rad/s.

Explanation:

Velocity is the rate of change of an object's position.

V = x/t

Where x is the distance in m

= 2.4 m

t is time taken in s

= 8.5 s

V = 2.4/8.5

= 0.2824 m/s.

Equating linear velocity and angular velocity,

V = ω*r

Where,

ω Is the angular speed in rad/s

r is the radius of the circle in m

= 3 cm

= 3cm * 1m/100 cm = 0.03 m

ω = V/r

= 0.2824/0.03

= 9.412 rad/s.

Which of these statements would best explain the problem encountered with nuclear waste disposal? A) The isotopes have a long ha
algol13
That's right, the correct answer is
<span>A) The isotopes have a long half-life and only remain radioactive for a long time period

The half life of an isotope is the time it takes for the amount of the sample to reduce to half of its initial value. If an isotope has a long half-life, it means it takes a long time to reduce down to a significant level, so it will remain radioactive for a long time period.</span>
