Note:

v = fλ

6 m/s = f * 12m

f = 6/12

f = 0.50 s⁻¹

f = 0.50 Hertz.

Note this was solved just for solving of it, infrared light is an electromagnetic wave and its speed cannot be 6m/s.

All electromagnetic wave infrared light inclusive would have a speed of ≈ 3 * 10⁸ m/s.

<u>Answer:</u> The frequency of the wave is 0.5 Hz

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wave speed is defined as the product of its wavelength and frequency.

Mathematically,

\text{Wave speed}=\lambda\times \nu

where,

Wave speed of the wave = 6 m/s

\lambda = wavelength of the wave = 12 m

\nu = frequency of the wave

Putting values in above equation, we get:

6m/s=12m\times \nu\\\\\nu=\frac{6m/s}{12m}=0.5s^{-1}=0.5Hz

Hence, the frequency of the wave is 0.5 Hz

How can motion be described and measured
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Motion can be described  "...in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and time," according to Wikipedia. The main feature that measures motion is momentum or speed.

Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

I think it’s when the sun explodes because since we need to the sun I think the human population will fall out. also a huge war, a meteoroid huge as the one that killed the dinosaurs comes down, there is so much ways on how the human population can stop growing. hope this help at least!

amid [387]

Answer:

hmax = 1/2 · v²/g

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to the conservation of energy and since there is no dissipative force (like friction) all the kinetic energy (KE) of the ball has to be converted into gravitational potential energy (PE) when the ball comes to stop.

KE = PE

Where KE is the initial kinetic energy and PE is the final potential energy.

The kinetic energy of the ball is calculated as follows:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the ball

v = velocity.

The potential energy is calculated as follows:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the ball.

g = acceleration due to gravity (known value: 9.81 m/s²).

h = height.

At  the maximum height, the potential energy is equal to the initial kinetic energy because the energy is conserved, i.e, all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy (there was no energy dissipation as heat because there was no friction). Then:

PE = KE

m · g · hmax = 1/2 · m · v²

Solving  for hmax:

hmax = 1/2 · v² / g
