Answer: Wavespeed (V) = Frequency F x wavelength λ (V = F λ)

Explanation:

The wavespeed is the distance covered by a wave in one second. It is measured in metre per second, and represented by the symbol V. It is directly proportional to the wavelength and frequency

i.e Velocity (V) = Frequency F x wavelength λ

V = F λ

For instance:

Assume wavelength (λ)= 20 m

Frequency = 10 Hz.

To get the wavespeed, use the formula

V = F λ

V = 20 metres x 10 hertz

V = 200 metres per second

Thus, the wave travels at a speed of 200 metres per second

supose at 20 degree celsius the resistance of Tungsten thermometer is 154.9. WHen placed in a particular solution , the resistan

saw5 [17]

Answer:

T₂ = 95.56°C

Explanation:

The final resistance of a material after being heated is given by the relation:

R' = R(1 + αΔT)

where,

R' = Final Resistance = 207.4 Ω

R = Initial Resistance = 154.9 Ω

α = Temperature Coefficient of Resistance of Tungsten = 0.0045 °C⁻¹

ΔT = Change in Temperature = ?

Therefore,

207.4 Ω = 154.9 Ω[1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT]

207.4 Ω/154.9 Ω = 1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT

1.34 - 1 = (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT

ΔT = 0.34/0.0045°C⁻¹

ΔT = 75.56°C

but,

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = T₂ - 20°C

T₂ - 20°C = 75.56°C

T₂ = 75.56°C + 20°C

Your friend, who is in a field 100 meters away from you, kicks a ball towards you with an initial velocity of 16 m/s. Assuming t

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Time, t = 5.355 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 100 m

Initial velocity = 16 m/s

Deceleration = 1 m/s²

To find the time, we would use the second equation of motion;

But since the ball is decelerating, it's acceleration would be negative.

S = ut + ½at²

Where;

S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.

u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.

t represents the time measured in seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

100 = 16t - 0.5t²

200 = 32t - t²

t² + 32t - 200 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula;

The quadratic equation formula is;

$x = \frac {-b \; \pm \sqrt {b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$x = \frac {-32 \; \pm \sqrt {32^{2} - 4*1*(-200)}}{2*1}$

$x = \frac {-32\pm \sqrt {1024 - (-800)}}{2}$

$x = \frac {-32 \pm \sqrt {1024 + 800}}{2}$

$x = \frac {-32 \pm \sqrt {1824}}{2}$

$x = \frac {-32 \pm 42.71}{2}$

$x_{1} = \frac {-32 + 42.71}{2}$

$x_{1} = \frac {10.71}{2}$

x1 = 5.355

We do not need the negative value of x, so we proceed.

Therefore, time = 5.355 seconds

Urgent!!!!!! 20 points!!!!!!<br> how are the speed, wavelength and frequency of a wave related

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength. Speed shows how long it takes for wavelengths to travel.
