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

What is the force in N of an object that has a mass of 7 kilograms and an acceleration of 4 m/s/s
VMariaS [17]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:         Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If you want to move a 7-kg object with an acceleration of 4 m/s²,
then you will need to push it with (7 x 4) = 28 newtons of force.

You throw a basketball and a tennis ball across the classroom so that each ball has the exact same momentum. Explain how this is
Helga [31]

Answer:

It is possible by increasing the speed of the tennis ball by a factor of (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Explanation:

The momentum of a body = The bod's mass × The body's velocity

Therefore, the momentum of a given mass of an object, such as a tennis ball can be increased by increasing the velocity or speed of the object. Whereby the speed of the ball, v₁, is increased such that the momentum of the basketball and the tennis ball will be the same, is given by the following equation

Mass of the basketball × v₂ = Mass of the tennis ball × v₁

Therefore, v₁/v₂ = (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Atomic physicists usually ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, we may calculate and compare the magnitude of
STatiana [176]

Answer:

2.27\cdot 10^{49}

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_p is the proton mass

m_e is the electron mass

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_G=(6.67259\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg s^{-2})\frac{(1.67262\cdot 10^{-27}kg) (9.10939\cdot 10^{-31}kg)}{(3 m)^2}=1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N

The electrical force between the proton and the electron is given by

F_E=k\frac{q_p q_e}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q_p = q_e = q is the elementary charge (charge of the proton and of the electron)

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

F_E=(8.98755\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C)^2}{(3 m)^2}=2.56\cdot 10^{-19}N

So, the ratio of the electrical force to the gravitational force is

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-19} N}{1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N}=2.27\cdot 10^{49}

So, we see that the electrical force is much larger than the gravitational force.
