Answer:

Frequency of the wave, f = 4 Hz

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the wave, v = 8 m/s

Wavelength of the wave, λ = 2 m

We have to find the frequency of the wave. The relationship between the frequency, wavelength and the speed of the wave is given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

$f=\dfrac{8\ m/s}{2\ m}$

f = 4 Hz or 4 s⁻¹

So, the frequency of the wave is 4 Hz. Hence, the correct option is (c) " 4 Hz".

Force F acts between two charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. If q1 is increased to twice its original value and the d

Step2247 [10]

Okay, haven't done physics in years, let's see if I remember this.

So Coulomb's Law states that $F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2}$ so if we double the charge on $Q_1$ and double the distance to $(2d)$ we plug these into the equation to find

 $F_{new} = k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{(2d)^2}=k \frac{2Q_1Q_2}{4d^2} = \frac{2}{4} \cdot k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{d^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot F_{old}$ 

So we see the new force is exactly 1/2 of the old force so your answer should be $\frac{1}{2}F$ if I can remember my physics correctly.

What are the units for speed

nexus9112 [7]

Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is themetre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.
