Frequency is a measure of how many waves pass by in one second. a. true b. false

Physics

Elanso [62]3 years ago

True. Waves are measured in Hz. Wavelength is also measured in metres (m) - it is a length after all. The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.

You are creating waves in a rope by shaking your hand back and forth. Without changing the distance your hand moves, you begin t
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.

In ionic bonds what happens to electrons?
OverLord2011 [107]
I think the correct answer from the choices would be that metals donate electrons to nonmetals. Ionic bonding involves transfer of valence electrons. The metal looses its valence electrons which makes it a cation while the nonmetal accepts these electrons.

a cement block accidentally falls from rest from the ledge of a 80.6-m-high building. When the block is 10.8 m above the ground,
fomenos

Answer:

0.229 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 80.6 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

We need to find the difference in times when y = 10.8 m and y = 2.10 m.

When y = 10.8 m:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

10.8 = 80.6 + (0) t + ½ (-9.8) t²

10.8 = 80.6 − 4.9 t²

4.9 t² = 69.8

t = 3.774

When y = 2.10 m:

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

2.10 = 80.6 + (0) t + ½ (-9.8) t²

2.10 = 80.6 − 4.9 t²

4.9 t² = 78.5

t = 4.003

The difference is:

4.003 − 3.774 = 0.229

The man has 0.229 seconds to get out of the way.

the particles that make up a rock are constantly in motion however a rock does not visibly vibrate. why do you think this?
Ivahew [28]

I think this is because the particles don't know or care about each other,
and they act completely without any peer pressure.  The direction in which
any one particle vibrates is completely random, and there is no connection
or influence among the particles. That means that any direction is just as likely
as any other direction for the next vibration, and they all wind up vibrating in
different directions.  There is a tiny tiny tiny tiny chance that all of them could
vibrate in the same direction for just an instant; if that ever happened, the rock
would suddenly jump up in the air.  That's actually true, but the chance is so tiny
that it hasn't ever happened yet.  In fact, the chance is so tiny, that when scientists
do their calculations of particle vibrations, they assume that the chance is zero,
and that makes the calculations simpler.
