The frequency of a wave is a measure of the number of waves that passes through a point per unit of time. It has SI units of s^-1. It is also equivalent to Hertz (Hz). We calculate the frequency of the wave described as follows:

Frequency = 5 waves / 2 s = 2.5 / s or 2.5 Hz

A skier of mass 82.9 kg starts from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of height 20 m. At the bottom of the incline, the
ehidna [41]

Answer: 170.67 N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of skier is m=82.9\ kg

Height of the inclination is h=20\ m

Here, the potential energy of the skier is converted into kinetic energy which is consumed by the friction force by applying a constant force that does work to stop the skier.

\Rightarrow mgh=F\cdot x\quad \quad [\text{F=constant friction force}]\\\\\Rightarrow 82.9\times 9.8\times 20=F\cdot 95.2\\\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{16,248.4}{95.2}\\\\\Rightarrow F=170.67\ N

Thus, the horizontal friction force is 170.67 N.

How does newton's second law describe the motion of an object?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

A shell is fired with a horizontal velocity in the positive x direction from the top of an 80 m high cliff. The shell strikes th
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

V = 331.59m/s

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the time taken for the shell fire to hit the ground using the equation of motion.

S = ut + 1/2at²

Given height of the cliff S = 80m

initial velocity u = 0m/s²

a = g = 9.81m/s²

Substitute

80 = 0+1/2(9.81)t²

80 = 4.905t²

t² = 80/4.905

t² = 16.31

t = √16.31

t = 4.04s

Next is to get the vertical velocity

Vy = u + gt

Vy = 0+(9.81)(4.04)

Vy = 39.6324

Also calculate the horizontal velocity

Vx = 1330/4.04

Vx = 329.21m/s

Find the magnitude of the velocity to calculate speed of the shell as it hits the ground.

V² = Vx²+Vy²

V² = 329.21²+39.63²

V² = 329.21²+39.63²

V² = 108,379.2241+1,570.5369

V² = 109,949.761

V = √ 109,949.761

V = 331.59m/s

Hence the speed of the shell as it hits the ground is 331.59m/s

Two cars collide inelastically and stick together after the collision. Before the collision, the magnitudes of their momenta are
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

a) P1+P2

Explanation:

The magnitude of their combined momentum is just the addition of each momentum, because in this case of inelastic collision, the kinetic energy of the two cars are both converted to some form of energy because the velocity of both cars becomes zero, i.e., V=0, making P = mv = 0, this means the magnitude of P1 + P2 = 0.
