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 rocket has landed on Planet X, which has half the radius of Earth. An astronaut onboard the rocket weighs twice as much on Pla
Burka [1]

Explanation:

Let acceleration due to Gravity for a planet is given by:

g_X=GM/R^2

Here,g_X = 2g

Escape velocity is given by:

v =\sqrt{ \frac{2GM} {R}} = \sqrt{2aR}

Here, R=R_earth/2

and g_X = 2g

Therefore,v=\sqrt(2(2g)(R/2))=v_0

Answer:

A) 35 ft

B) 5 ft

C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick

Explanation:

A) Total distance covered by the dog = 20 + 15

                                  = 35 ft

B) Since the other distance covered by the dog before chewing the stick, after the retrieval, was in an opposite direction to the initial direction, then;

total displacement of the dog = 20 - 15

                                  = 5 ft

C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick + distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick

But, displacement involves a specified direction. The distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick was in an opposite direction to the initial direction.

Thus,

Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick
