Frequency and Wavelength

Explanation:

The speed of a wave changes based on frequency and wavelength. Wavelength is the distance between two corresponding points on adjacent waves. Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time. The wave speed depends upon the medium through which the wave is moving. Only an alteration in the properties of the medium will cause a change in the speed.

Speed, frequency and wavelength is related as:

speed = frequency X wavelength

Increasing the wavelength of a wave doesn’t change its speed. That’s because when wavelength increases, wave frequency decreases. As a result, the product of wavelength and wave frequency is still the same speed.

A car moves from a position 50 m south of the library to a new position 250

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

A. 20 m/s north

Explanation:

The velocity of the car can be calculated as:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the displacement

t is the time interval

Taking north as positive direction, the initial position of the car is

$r_i = -50 m$ (south)

while the final position is

$r_f = +250 m$ (north)

So, the displacement is

$d=r_f -r_i = +250-(-50)=+300 m$ (north)

The time interval for the motion is

t = 15 s

So, the velocity of the car is

$v=\frac{+300}{15}=+20 m/s$ (north)

Suppose you took a trip to the moon. Write a paragraph describing how and why your weight would change. Would your mass change t

Darina [25.2K]

Your mass wouldn’t change, but your weight would. Weight depends on the force of gravity however mass does not. When you land on the moon, your mass is the same as it was on the earth but weight will drop
