Given data:

Wave length (λ) = 2.30 m,

Frequency (f) = 370 Hz (waves/sec),

Determine the speed of the wave = ?

Speed of the wave is defined as "the distance a wave travels in a given time". And it is a product of wavelength (λ) and frequency(f).

An Important point to be remember here is "when increasing the wave length of the wave does not increase the speed of the wave" because the wave speed also depends on frequency (f), So, if the wave length increases wave speed decreases. As a result the product of wave length and frequency are same.

Mathematically,

Wave speed = wave length × frequency

= 2.30 m × 370 waves/sec.

= 851 m/s.

Speed of the wave is 851 m/s

A mass on a spring with k=88.7 N/m oscillates 15 times in 9.24s. what is the objects mass? unit=kg?

sweet [91]

The mass on the spring is 0.86 kg

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is given by the equation

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

where

m is the mass

k is the spring constant

In this problem, we have:

k = 88.7 N/m is the spring constant

The system makes 15 oscillations in 9.24 s: therefore, the period of the system is

$T=\frac{9.24}{15}=0.62 s$

Now we can re-arrange the first equation to solve for the mass:

$m=k(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2=(88.7)(\frac{0.62}{2\pi})^2=0.86 kg$

A net force, the magnitude of which is 3800 N, accelerates a 1260-kg vehicle for 10.0 s. The vehicle travels 50.0 m during this

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

SEE EXPLANATION

Explanation:

$p = \frac{fd}{t} \\ where \: \\p = power \\ f = force \\ d = distance \\ and \: t = time \\ \\ p = \frac{3800 \times 50}{10} \\ p = \frac{190000}{10} \\ p = 19000w$

A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t=2.5s later the student hears assiciated clap of thunder. (please show work)

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

857.5 m

2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

Explanation:

Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s

Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m

Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light

$\text{Time taken by light}=\frac{857.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by light}=2.8583\times 10^{-6}$

Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds
