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

Viktor [21]

Answer:

A)  R = (200 i ^ + 100 j ^ + 30k ^) m , B)    L = 223.61 m , C)   R = 225.61 m

Explanation:

Part A

This is a vector summing exercise, let's take a Reference System where the z axis corresponds to the height (flights), the x axis is the East - West and the y axis corresponds to the North - South.

Let's write the displacements

Descending from the apartment

10 flights of 3 m each, the total descent is 30 m

                Z = 30 k ^ m

Offset at street level

            L1 = 0.2 i ^ km

            L2 = 0.1 j ^ km

Let's reduce everything to the SI system

          L1 = 0.2 * 1000 = 200 i ^ m

          L2 = 100 j ^ m

The distance traveled is

          R = (200 i ^ + 100 j ^ + 30k ^) m

Part B

The horizontal distance traveled can be found with the Pythagorean theorem for the coordinates in the plane

                L² = x² + y²

                L = √ (200² + 100²)

                L = 223.61 m

Part C

The magnitude of travel, let's use the Pythagorean theorem for the sum

             R² = x² + y² + z²

              R = √ (30² + 200² + 100²)

             R = 225.61 m

2. One tin for weight control is to:<br> Eat alone<br> Eat slowly
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Eat slowly

Explanation:

If you eat slower, you'll chew your food better, which leads to better digestion. Digestion actually starts in the mouth, so the more work you do up there, the less you'll have to do in your stomach. This can help lead to fewer digestive problems. Less stress.
