Answer:

a) the frequency of the wave is 0.2 Hz

b) the speed of the wave 4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

time period = to complete one cycle t = 5 sec

frequency f = 1/t

frequency f = 1 / 5sec

f = 0.2 Hz

Therefore the frequency of the wave is 0.2 Hz

b)

speed of wave V = λf

given that our wavelength is 20.0 m

we substitute

speed of wave V = 20.0 × 0.2

speed of wave V = 4 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the wave 4 m/s

A car that is traveling in a straight line at 40 km/h can brake to a stop within 20 m. If the same car is traveling at 120 km/h
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

180 m

Explanation:

Case 1.

U = 40 km/h = 11.1 m/s, V = 0, s = 20 m

Let a be the acceleration.

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 as

0 = 11.1 × 11.1 - 2 × a × 20

a = 3.08 m/s^2

Case 2.

U = 220 km/h = 33.3 m/s, V = 0

a = 3.08 m/s^2

Let the stopping distance be x.

Again use third equation of motion

0 = 33.3 × 33.3 - 2 × 3.08 × x

X = 180 m

Ask Your Teacher A coil is formed by winding 260 turns of insulated 16 gauge copper wire (diameter = 1.3 mm) in a single layer o
Liula [17]

Answer:

The resistance is 2.98Ω

Explanation:

<u>Data</u>

diameter:  d=1.3mm, d=1.3*10^{-3} m

Radius:    r=\frac{d}{2} ,r=\frac{1.3*10^{-3} }{2} ,r=6.5*10^{-4} m

Resistivity constant:   p=1.65*10^{-8}Ωm

To find Area:

A=\pi r^{2} \\A=\frac{22}{7} *(6.5*10^{-4} )\\A=1.33*10^{-6} m^{2}

To find circumference:

l=260*(2\pi (0.15))\\l=245.04m

Now we can apply the Resistivity formula:

R=p\frac{l}{A}

R=(1.65*10^{-8} )Ωm*\frac{240.04m}{1.33*10^{-6}m^{2}  }

R=2.98Ω
