4 0

Answer:

frequency = 0.5 /s

speed = 2m/s

Explanation:

frequency = 1/period = 1/2 = 0.5 /s

speed = frequency × wavelength

= 0.5 × 4 = 2m/s

Answer:

See answers below

Explanation:

F = mg,

15.5 N = m(9.8 m/s²)

m = 1.58 kg

Fnet = Applied force - resistance,

Fnet = 18 N - 4.30 N,

Fnet = 13.70 N

Fnet = ma

13.70 N = (1.58 kg)a

a = 8.67 m/s²

For the free body diagram, draw a box with an upward arrow labeled 15.5 N, a downward label labeled 15.5 N, a right label labeled 18 N, and a left label labeled 4.30 N.

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function 5 − 10t m/s2 . (a) What is the velocity function? (b) What is the p

frez [133]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function as :

$a(t)=(5-10t)\ m/s^2$

(a) Since, $a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}$

v = velocity

$dv=a.dt$

$v=\int(a.dt)$

$v=\int(5-10t)(dt)$

$v=5t-\dfrac{10t^2}{2}=5t-5t^2$

(b) $v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

x = position

$x=\int v.dt$

$x=\int (5t-5t^2)dt$

$x=\dfrac{5}{2}t^2-\dfrac{5}{3}t^3$

(c) Velocity function is given by :

$v=5t-5t^2$

$5t-5t^2=0$

t = 1 seconds

So, at t = 1 second the velocity of the particle is zero.

True or false the refraction of a wave is how many wavelengths pass a fixed point each second

Ksenya-84 [330]

False. That description fits the wave's 'frequency'.
It has nothing to do with refraction.
