Answer: The frequency increases by a factor of 4.

The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always the same number ... the wave's speed.

So if the wavelength is somehow reduced to 1/4 its original length, the <em>frequency is immediately multiplied by 4</em> . That's the only way their product can remain the same.

Answer:

39.26 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtainedb

Initial velocity (u) = 6 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.9 m/s²

Distance travelled (s) = 1700 m

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the final velocity of the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 6 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.9 m/s²

Distance travelled (s) = 1700 m

Final velocity (v) =?

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 6² + (2 × 1.9 × 1700)

v² = 36 + 6460

v² = 6496

Take the square root of both side

v = √6496

v = 80.6 m/s

Finally, we shall determine the time taken before the plane lifts off. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 6 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1.9 m/s²

Final velocity (v) = 80.6 m/s

Time (t) =?

v = u + at

80.6 = 6 + 1.9t

Collect like terms

80.6 – 6 = 1.9t

74.6 = 1.9t

Divide both side by 1.9

t = 74.6 / 1.9

t = 39.26 s

This, it will take 39.26 s before the plane lifts off.

Is a spring stores 5 J of energy when its conpresses by 0.5 m what is the spring constant of the spring?

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

k = 40 N/m

Explanation:

A spring's energy is given:

$U = 0.5kx^2$

U is the energy in the spring, k is the spring constant and x is the spring displacement.

We are told that the spring stores 5J of energy, therefore, U = 5J. We are also told that the spring is compressed by 0.5m, so the spring x = 0.5m

$5 J = 0.5k(0.5m)^2\\5J = 0.5k(0.25m^2)\\5J = k*(0.125)m^2\\\\k = 5J/(0.125)m^2\\k = 40 N/m$

k = 40 N/m

Hope this helps!
