Answer:

a. 0.18Hz

b. 0.56m/s

Explanation:

From the question we can deduct the following parameters

The wavelength, λ is define as the distance between two successful crest or trough and from the question we conclude that wavelength is 3.17m.

Also the period of the wave T can be computed as

T=22.6/4

T=5.65secs.

a. To compute the frequency, recall that frequency, F=1/period.

Hence,

F=1/5.65

F=0.18Hz

b. Next we compute the wave speed.

Wave speed=frequency *wavelength

Wave speed =0.18*3.17

Wave speed =0.56m/s

An insulator can do which of the following? Conduct charge through it. Become positively or negatively charged. Transfer protons
ser-zykov [4K]
The correct answer is:
<span>Become positively or negatively charged

In fact, an insulator is a material where charges cannot move freely. Therefore, it can be positively or negatively charge (for example, if it is rubbed against another object, the insulator can remain with an excess of charge), but it cannot transfer charge to other objects.</span>

Equal masses of he and ne are placed in a sealed container. What is the partial pressure of he if the total pressure in the cont
EastWind [94]

Answer:

6 atm.

Explanation:

Let the mass of both be m

Then moles of He = m/ 4

Moles of Ne = m/ 20

mole fraction of He = Moles of He/ Total moles = m/4/ (m/4 + m/20) = 0.25 m/0.3m = 0.83

Pressure of He = Mole fraction×total pressure = 0.83 × 6 atm = 5 atm
