Answer:

The wavelength is about 733 meters.

Explanation:

Use the wavelength-frequency relationship:

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}= \frac{11000 \frac{m}{s}}{15 s^{-1}}\approx733m

The wavelength is about 733 meters.

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<u>Amplitude - remains the same</u>

<u>Frequency - increases</u>

<u>Period - decreases</u>

<u>Velocity - remains the same.</u>

<u />

Explanation:

The amplitude of the wave remains the same since you are not changing the distance your hand moves and the amplitude of the wave depends on how much distance your hand covers while moving.

The frequency of your wave increases since now you are moving your hand more number of times in the same period i.e. your hand is moving faster in one second. So, the frequency of your wave increases.

The period is the time taken by the wave to travel a certain distance. Since your hand is now moving faster, the wave will travel faster and will take less time to cover the same distance hence, we can say that its period will decrease.

The velocity of a wave depends on the medium in which it is travelling. Your wave was previously travelling in air and the new wave is also travelling in the same medium so the velocity of the wave remains unchanged.

Calculate the rate of heat conduction through a layer of still air that is 1 mm thick, with an area of 1 m, for a temperature of
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W

Explanation:

Given:

Thickness of the still air layer (L) = 1 mm

Area of the still air = 1 m

Temperature of the still air ( T) = 20°C

Thermal conductivity of still air (K) at 20°C = 25.87mW/mK

Rate of heat conduction (Q) = ?

To determine the rate of heat conduction through the still air, we apply the formula below.

Q =\frac{KA(\delta T)}{L}

Q =\frac{25.87*1*20}{1}

Q = 517.4 W

Therefore, the rate of heat conduction through the layer of still air is 517.4 W

iogann1982 [59]

Answer: a) 8.2 * 10^-8 N or 82 nN and b) is repulsive

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to use the Coulomb force for two point charged, it is given by:

F=\frac{k*q1*q2}{d^{2}}

Replacing the dat we obtain F=82 nN.

The force is repulsive because the points charged have the same sign.
