Answer:

Speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that, tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second.

We know that the number of waves per second is called the frequency of a wave.

So, f = 17.5 Hz

Wavelength of each wave, \lambda=45\ cm=0.45\ m

Speed of the wave is given by :

v=f\lambda

v=17.5\times 0.45

v = 7.87 m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

If a 990 kg car is on the road and the Ff is 360 n what is the normal force
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Given that a car is in the road, there is only movement in the x-direction. There is no movement in the y-direction.

Looking at the y-direction for the normal force:

F = N - mg
0 = N - mg, (no movement in y-dir.)
N = mg
N = (990)(9.8)
N = 9702 newtons

The normal force exerted on the car by the road is 9702 newtons.

Particles in which state of matter are the most likely to interact with each other to cause a chemical reaction?
Mazyrski [523]
I think when particles are in the gas form they are most likely to cause a chemical reaction considering the fact that gas particles aren't very controllable and it would make sense that they would react unexpectedly

In a second order lever system the force ratio is 2.5, the load is at the distance of 0.5m from the fulcrum find distance of eff
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

1.25 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force ratio = 2.5

Distance of load from the fulcrum = 0.5 m

Distance of effort =.?

The distance of the effort from the fulcrum can be obtained as illustrated below:

Force ratio = Distance of effort / Distance of load

2.5 = Distance of effort / 0.5

Cross multiply

Distance of effort = 2.5 × 0.5

Distance of effort = 1.25 m

Therefore, the distance of the effort from the fulcrum is 1.25 m

what occurs when a swimmer pushes through the water to swim answers are (A) the water exerts a reaction force on the swimmer (B)
miv72 [106K]
When a swimmer pushes through water to swim they are propelled forward because of the water resistance against the hand and feet. It's A. The water doesn't automatically push the swimmer forward. It releases a reaction after the swimmer pushes through the water.
