Answer:

Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m

The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.

For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.

\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=0.209\ m\\\\\lambda=0.418\ m

Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.

f=\dfrac{2.57}{4.47}\\\\f=0.574\ Hz

Now we can find the velocity of the wave.

Velocity = frequency × wavelength

v = 0.574 × 0.418

v = 0.239 m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.

I need to explain how objects can have the same volume but different mass. Help??
kaheart [24]
No problem, and you already know all about it.

Here are a few examples of same volume / different weight:

-- A bottle full of water is heavier than the same bottle when it's full of air.
-- Stones are heavier than styrofoam chunks the same size.
-- A bowl of meat loaf is heavier than a bowl of scrambled eggs.

In each example, two things have the same volume, but one weighs more than
the other.  I didn't say anything about mass yet, but that's easy:  As long as you
keep everything on Earth, more weight means more mass.

So how come, in each example, things with the same volume have different mass ?
This was your original question.

The answer is just the simple fact that there are millions of different substances, and
each different substance packs a different amount of mass into the same volume.

The amount of mass that a substance packs into a standard volume is called
the <em>density</em> of the substance.  Meat loaf is more dense than scrambled eggs.
Stone is more dense than styrofoam.  Water is more dense than air.  And <em>gold</em>
is 19 times as dense as water.  If you have a jar that holds a pound of water, and
you pour out the water and fill the jar with gold, the same jar holds 19 pounds of gold,
because the density of gold is 19 times the density of water.

The reason you were assigned to think about this question for homework is that
next time your Physics class meets, you'll start talking about <em>Density. </em><em /> And you're
all ready for it now.

Which statement best compares the acceleration of two objects in free fall?
Anastasy [175]

<u>Answer </u>

4.The objects have the same acceleration

<u>Explanation </u>

Acceleration due to gravity is the acceleration acquired by an object when falling freely.

Under normal conditions, different objects has different accelerations depending on their mass and surface area. This is brought about by the air resistance they experience as they fall.

The case is difference when they the experiment is carried out in a controlled condition. That is in vacuum. I this case the acceleration of the objects is the same.
