Mathematically, to compute for the wavelength, λ, we have

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

where v is the velocity and f is the frequency.
As we can see here, given that velocity is constant, wavelength increases as frequency decreases. This shows that wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency.

Answer: Wavelength and frequency are inversely related to each other.

Here as we know that there is no loss of energy

so we can say that maximum kinetic energy will become gravitational potential energy at its maximum height

So here we have

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh$

here we have

v = 20 m/s

m = 8000 kg

now from above equation we have

$\frac{1}{2}(8000)(20^2) = (8000)(9.8)h$

$h = \frac{200}{9.8)$

$h = 20.4 m$

so maximum height is 20.4 m

Answer:

h = 16.67m

Explanation:

If the kinetic energy of the cylinder is 510J:

$Kc=510=1/2*Ic*\omega c^2$

$\omega c=\sqrt{510*2/Ic}$

Where the inertia is given by:

$Ic=1/2*m_c*R_c^2=1/2*(8)*(0.15)^2=0.0225kg.m^2$

Replacing this value:

$\omega c=106.46rad/s$

Speed of the block will therefore be:

$V_b=\omega_c*R_c=106.46*0.15=15.969m/s$

By conservation of energy:

Eo = Ef

Eo = 0

$Ef = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h$

So,

$0 = 510+1/2*m_b*V_b^2-m_b*g*h$

Solving for h we get:

h=16.67m

Why is pluto not a planet?

mihalych1998 [28]

Pluto revolves around a star instead of our SUN. So, it's an "Exo-planet" rather than a Planet. It has declared in 2006 by the scientists.

Hope this helps!
