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

When nuclear fission occurs some mass is lost where does that mass go
horrorfan [7]
The loss of matter is called the mass defect. The missing matter is converted into energy. You can actually calculate the amount of energy produced during a nuclear reaction with  fairly simple equation developed by Albert Einstein; E = mc^2. In this equation, E is the amount of energy produced, m is the missing mass, or the mass defect, and c is the speed of light, which is a rather large number. The speed of light is squared, making that part of the equation a very large number that, even when multiplied by a small amount of mass, yields a large amount of energy.

Con lắc lò xo có độ cứng k = 100N/m được gắn vật có khối lượng m=0.1kg, kéo vật ra khỏi vị trí cân bằng 1 đoạn 5cm rồi buông tay
Delvig [45]

Answer:

The maximum velocity is 1.58 m/s.

Explanation:

A spring pendulum with stiffness k = 100N/m is attached to an object of mass m = 0.1kg, pulls the object out of the equilibrium position by a distance of 5cm, and then lets go of the hand for the oscillating object. Calculate the achievable vmax.

Spring constant, K = 100 N/m

mass, m = 0.1 kg

Amplitude, A = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Let the angular frequency is w.

w = \sqrt{K}{m}\\\\w = \sqrt{100}{0.1}\\\\w = 31.6 rad/s

The maximum velocity is

v_{max} = w A\\\\v_{max} = 31.6\times 0.05 = 1.58 m/s

: Do you attract the Earth or the Earth attracts you which one is attracting with a larger force?
seraphim [82]

Answer: The Earth and you are attracted to the centers of each other by a pair of equal gravitational forces. The size of the force attracting you toward the center of the Earth is your "weight" on Earth. The size of the force attracting the Earth toward the center of you is the Earth's "weight" on you.
