Which of the following are true for an object in projectile motion?
1 answer:
The correct options are: B, C and D.
In fact:
- B is true, because the motion of the projectile can be decomposed in two independent motions on the x and y axis. On the x-axis, there is no acceleration; while on the y-axis, the projectile is accelerating towards the ground with
(acceleration of gravity)
- C is true, because the two motions on the horizontal and vertical direction are independent. In particular, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion (constant velocity), while the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion (because of the gravitational acceleration g acting on the projectile)
- D is true, in fact (if we neglect air resistance) gravity is the only force acting on the projectile.

The concept required to solve this problem is related to the wavelength.
The wavelength can be defined as the distance between two positive crests of a wave.
The waves are in phase, then the first distance is
And out of the phase when
Thus the wavelength is
Here,
Wavelength
If we rearrange the equation to find it, we will have
Therefore the wavelength of the sound is 20cm.
