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

What is meant by a colored shadow? If "shadow" means
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Explanation:

Red, green, and blue are therefore called additive primaries of light. ... When you block two lights, you see a shadow of the third color—for example, block the red and green lights and you get a blue shadow. If you block only one of the lights, you get a shadow whose color is a mixture of the other two.

First, your definition of a shadow is incorrect. A shadow is an area that receives less light than its surroundings because a specific source of light is blocked by whatever is "casting" the shadow. Your example of being outside reveals this. The sky and everything around you in the environment (unless you are surrounded by pitch black buildings) is sending more than enough light into your shadow, to reveal the pen to your eyes. The sky itself diffuses the sunlight everywhere, and the clouds reflect plenty of light when they are not directly in front of the Sun.

If you are indoors and have two light bulbs, you can throw two shadows at the same time, possibly of different darknesses, depending on the brightness of the light bulbs.

It can take a lot of work to get a room pitch black. One little hole or crack in some heavy window curtains can be enough to illuminate the room. There are very few perfectly dark shadows.

In AA&E storage facilities, why must drainage structures be secured if they cross the fence line and meet certain size requi
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

As an additional security measure in an AA&E storage facilities, securing drainage structures  must be considered if their cross section is greater than 96 inches  and any dimension is greater  than 6 inches, they must be  barred and welded at the  intersections to prevent any  human from crawling into the  area.

Explanation:

U.S. national security relys on ensuring DoD sensitive or classified assets such as classified material, arms, ammunition, and explosives  (AA&E) and nuclear weapons, in properly safeguard facilites and storage containers, voiding DoD assets loss or  compromise and additional to supplemental intrusion detection systems and guard patrols, security lighting, communications, fences and clear zones, drainage structures, key control, and other security measures required to protect  AA&E.

An occupant of a car can survive a crash if the deceleration during the crash is less than 30 g. Calculate the force on a 64 kg
forsale [732]
The force on a 64 k person decelerating on that rate would be : 

F = ma

F = 64 kg x 30 x 9.8

= 18816 N

Hope this helps

How would you determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object such as a paper clip?
zheka24 [161]

Explanation:

Take a measuring cylinder and fill it with a certain amount of water. Measure this amount of water.

Place the paper clip in the filled measuring cylinder. You will notice that the water level has gone up. When we place the paper clip in the cylinder the volume of the paper clip gets added to the volume that was present in the cylinder.

The volume of the paper clip will be the final volume of water with the paper clip - The initial volume of water without the paper clip.

Any irregularly shaped object's volume can be determined by this method.
