A string is vibrating between two posts as shown above. Students are to determine the speed of the wave within this string. They

have already measured the amount of time necessary for the wave to oscillate up and down. The students must also take what other measurements to determine the speed of the wave?
A. The distance between the two posts.
B. The amplitude of the wave
C. The tension in the string
D. The amplitude of the wave and the tension in the string
E. The distance between the two posts, the amplitude of the wave, and the tension in the string

Answer:

The distance between two posts

Explanation:

As the students have already measured the amount of time necessary for the wave to oscillate up and down that is on the string between two posts,They have to measure the speed of the wave.

        ie  v=fλ

<em>They have to measure distance between the posts. </em>

Because wavelength is equal to the distance between the posts ie full length of string.

The frequency of the wave is calculated by

               f= 1/T

Where is the time period which the students have calculated ie the amount of time taken to oscillate up and down,

Thus the wave speed is calculated using formula

            v=λ/T

Two movers are pushing a large crate with a force of 60.0 n each. one pushes north, the other east. what is the equilibrant forc
romanna [79]
To get the solution you must need to draw a force triangle. Attach the head of the 60N north force arrow with the tail of the 60N east force arrow. The subsequent is the arrow connecting he tail and head of the two arrows. 
You get a right angled triangle, and the resultant is (60^2 + 60^2) ^0.5 = 84.85 N or 85 N northeast.

The time that is required for a vibrating object to complete one full cycle is called : Group of answer choices
disa [49]

Answer:

Correct option : (c) period.                        

Explanation:

The time that is required for a vibrating object to complete one full cycle is called the time period. If f is the frequency of a wave, then the relation between the frequency and the time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}

These are the characteristics of a wave. Some other characteristics are wavelength, amplitude, intensity etc. So, the correct option is (c) "period".

A wave has a wavelength of 0.5 m and a frequency of 5.0 Hz. What is the speed of the wave?
mylen [45]
The correct option is (A) 2.5 m/s

Explanation:
Since,

v = fλ ---- (1)

where v = speed of the wave
f = frequency of the wave = 5 Hz
λ = wavelength of the wave = 0.5 

Plug in the value in (1):
(1) => v = 5 * 0.5
v = 2.5 m/s

An airplane flies 40km directly south in 10 minutes and 20 km directly east in five minutes, its average speed is:
blondinia [14]
Average speed = total distance / total time
total distance = 40 + 20 = 60km
total time taken = 10 + 5 = 15 minutes
Average speed = 60/15 = 4km/min

a scientist divided a population of fruit flies into two containers, each with a different kind of food. then she bred the fruit
kati45 [8]
<span>d. will fruit flies bred under different conditions mate? Let's look at the possible choices and see which of them make any sense given the experiment. a. do well-fed fruit flies make good pets? Seems kinda silly, but if this were the question being asked, I suspect the experiment would have some fruit flies that were well fed as well as some fruit flies that were starved and would then compare how those 2 populations of fruit flies interacted with people. But that wasn't done, so it's unlikely this is the question being asked. b. what kind of food do fruit flies prefer? Each population of fruit flies weren't given a choice as to available foods. So their preferences didn't come into play about what they were allowed to eat. So this question is also unlikely. c. how many species of fruit flies can mate with each other? The scientist started with a single population and divided it into two sub groups. There doesn't seem to be a large number of species of different fruit flies here, so this is also an unlikely question. d. will fruit flies bred under different conditions mate? The scientist started with a single population of fruit flies and divided them into two groups. Each group was allowed to breed for many generations with a different food for each group (e.g. Allowed to breed under different conditions). After they were both well established, the groups were merged together and observed which ones mated. It looks like this question is being answered. So this is the correct solution.</span>
