Which statement best describes wavelength?

Physics
2 answers:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Wavelength is the length of one complete wave cycle  (Option C)

Explanation:

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive  crests or troughs. It can be measured by any two consecutive points in a wave. Wavelength is commonly designated by the sign λ   (lambda). Wavelength depends on the medium ( for example air, water or vacuum) that a wave travels through.

According to the following wave equation, it can also be deduced that wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency.

V = f λ

V is the speed

F is the frequency  

λ is wavelength

A particle executes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 1.69 cm. At what positive displacement from the midpoint of its
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: 0.0146m

Explanation: The formula that defines the velocity of a simple harmonic motion is given as

v = ω√A² - x²

Where v = linear velocity, A = amplitude = 1.69cm = 0.0169m, x = displacement.

The maximum speed of a simple harmonic motion is derived when x = A, hence v = ωA

One half of maximum speed = speed of motion

3ωA/2 = ω√A² - x²

ω cancels out on both sides of the equation, hence we have that

A/2 = √A² - x²

(0.0169)/2 = √(0.0169² - x²)

0.00845 = √(0.0169² - x²)

By squaring both sides, we have that

0.00845² = 0.0169² - x²

x² = 0.0169² - 0.00845²

x² = 0.0002142

x = √0.0002142

x = 0.0146m

a hot pot of water is set on the counter to cool. after a few minutes it has lost 755 j of heat energy. how much heat energy has
velikii [3]

The heat energy the surrounding air gained is <u>755 j.</u>

Energy is a quantitative property given to a body or physical system and can be identified as work being done in the form of heat and light. Energy is Conserved - The law of conservation of energy states that energy can be transformed into form, but cannot be created or destroyed. Energy is the ability to do work. It can exist in electrical, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other forms.

<u>Concept:-</u>

Since the energy is always conserved, the energy lost by the hot water is gained bt the surrounding

- energy lost  = + energy gained by the surrounding

- 755 j = + <u>755 j</u>

<u />

Energy exists in many forms. Examples include light energy, thermal energy, mechanical energy, gravitational energy, electrical energy, acoustic energy, chemical energy, and nuclear or atomic energy. Each form can be transformed or changed into other forms.

An astronaut is doing repairs on the international Space Station. She throws a hammer into space with a velocity of 3m/s. How mu
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The force is 15N

Explanation:

The formula is Force= mass × velocity.

From the question mass is 5kg, velocity is 3m/s.

F= 5×3

F= 15Newton.

Therefore the force is 15N.
