What does frequency mean in science

There's nothing mysterious about it at all. "Frequency" simply means
"often-ness" ... how often or how frequently something happens.

-- The frequency of traditional meals is 3 per day.
-- The frequency of an equinox is 2 per year.
-- The frequency of my sleeping really late is 1 per week.
-- The frequency of my intense desire to sleep late is 30 per month.
etc.

-- The standard unit of frequency in the SI system is "per second".
The special name for that unit is "Hertz". (Hz)

Explain how this happens?

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

When the polythene rod is rubbed with the woolen cloth, static electric charges move from the cloth and into the rod. The rod becomes negatively charged as negative charges move from the cloth and into the rod leaving the cloth positively charged as well.

A 600g toy train completes 10 laps of its circular track in 1 min 20s. If the radius of the track is 1.2 m, Find the centripetal

Lynna [10]

Wow ! This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.

The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is

 (speed-squared) / (radius of the circle) .

Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.

We know the radius of the track. We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out. That's what we
need to do first.

Speed = (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).

Distance = 10 laps of the track. Well how far is that ? ? ?

1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) = 2.4π meters

10 laps = 24π meters.

Time = 1 minute 20 seconds = 80 seconds

The trains speed is (distance) / (time)

 = (24π meters) / (80 seconds)

 = 0.3 π meters/second .

NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.

 (speed)² / (radius)

 = (0.3π m/s)² / (1.2 meters)

 = (0.09π m²/s²) / (1.2 meters)

 = (0.09π / 1.2) m/s²

 = 0.236 m/s² . (rounded)

If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...

Well, Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .

We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force.

A light ray travels in the +x direction and strikes a slanted surface with an angle of 62° between its normal and the ty axis. T

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

- 0.6

Explanation:

Given that angle between normal y axis is 62° so angle between normal

and x axis will be 90- 62 = 28 °. Since incident ray is along x axis , 28 ° will be the angle between incident ray and normal ie it will be angle of incidence

Angle of incidence = 28 °

angle of reflection = 28°

Angle between incident ray and reflected ray = 28 + 28 = 56 °

Angle between x axis and reflected ray = 56 °

x component of reflected ray

= - cos 56 ( it will be towards - ve x axis. )
