Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:
v=f∧,
where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)
f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.
In our case: f=1/3
∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m
I don't like the wording of any of the choices on the list.
SONAR generates a short pulse of sound, like a 'peep' or a 'ping',
focused in one direction. If there's a solid object in that direction,
then some of the sound that hits it gets reflected back, toward the
source. The source listens to hear if any of the sound that it sent
out returns to it. If it hears its own 'ping' come back, it measures
the time it took for the sound to go out and come back. That tells
the SONAR equipment that there IS a solid object in that direction,
and also HOW FAR away it is.
RADAR works exactly the same way, except RADAR uses radio waves.
Answer:
least distance= 13mm
ratio of the lattice = 1 : 0.71 : 0.58
Explanation:
given λ₁ = 650nm = 650×10⁻⁹m, λ₂ = 500nm = 500×10⁻⁹m
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation: the magnitude of the force is extremely small because the masses of the students are small relative to Earth's mass.
This question deals with the law of conservation of momentum, which basically says that the total momentum in a system must stay the same, provided there are no outside forces. Since you were given the mass and velocity of the two objects you can find the momentum (p=mv) of each and then add them together to find the total momentum of the system before they collide. This total momentum must be the same after they collide. Since you have the mass and velocity of one of the objects after the collision you can find the its momentum after. Subtract this from the the system total and you will have the momentum of the other object after the collision. Now that you know the momentum of the other object you can find its velocity using p=mv and its mass from before.
Be careful with the velocities. They are vectors, so direction matters. Typically moving to the right is positive (+) and moving to the left is negative (-). It is not clear from your question which direction the objects are moving before and after the collision.
