Answer:

72 m/s

Explanation:

D1 = 3 cm, v1 = 2 m/s

D2 = 0.5 cm,

Let the velocity at narrow end be v2.

By use of equation of continuity

A1 v1 = A2 v2

3.14 × 3 × 3 × 2 = 3.14 × 0.5 ×0.5 × v2

v2 = 72 m/s

What happens to energy and frequency of a wave if its wavelength increases?

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Waves can be measured using wavelength and frequency. ... The distance from one crest to the next is called a wavelength (λ). The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.

The radius of a planet is 2400 km, and the acceleration due to gravity at its surface is 3.6 m/s2.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$3.1\cdot10^{23}\:\mathrm{kg}$

Explanation:

We can use Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to solve this problem:

$g_P=G\frac{m}{r^2}$ ., where $g_P$ is acceleration due to gravity at the planet's surface, $G$ is gravitational constant $6.67\cdot 10^{-11}$ , $m$ is the mass of the planet, and $r$ is the radius of the planet.
