Answer:

Solution given:

No of waves[N] =20crests & 20 troughs

=20waves

Time[T]=4seconds

distance[d]=3cm=0.03m

Now

Wave length=3cm=3 × ${10}^{ - 2}m$

Frequency= $\frac{No of waves}{time}$

= $\frac{20}{4}$ =5Hertz

and

Wave speed:wave length×frequency=3 × ${10}^{ - 2}m$ ×5=1.5 × ${10}^{ - 1} \tt{ {ms}^{ - 1}}$ .

The kinetic energy of an object depends on what?

liraira [26]

It depends on "Potential Energy", the amount energy it could have, the amount depending on certain circumstances, like height or force. This was how traditional and some modern rollercoasters work. As the "conveyer belt" pulls you up, the higher you go, the more potential energy you have. Once you are falling down the hill, you are experiencing "Kinetic Energy". Hope it makes sence.

Your roommate leaves a 120W fan running in your apartment.Over the course of an hour,how much thermal energy does the fan add to

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

$4.32\cdot 10^5 J$

Explanation:

Power is related to energy by the following relationship:

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where

P is the power used

E is the energy used

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we know that

- the power of the fan is P = 120 W

- the fan has been running for one hour, which corresponds to a time of

$t = 1 h \cdot (60 min/h)(60 s/min)=3600 s$

So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find E, the energy (in the form of thermal energy) released by the fan:

$E=Pt=(120 W)(3600 s)=4.32\cdot 10^5 J$

A 5 kg ball is sitting on the floor without moving. What is the momentum of the ball?

natita [175]

Answer:

The ball has no momentum

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the ball = 5 kg

The velocity of the ball = 0 (The ball is sitting on the floor without moving)

The momentum of the ball = The mass of the ball × Velocity of the ball

Therefore, the momentum of the ball = 5 kg × 0 m/s = 0

The momentum of the ball is zero, the ball has no momentum.

Explain the effects of force giving example

Pie

Answer:

1) Can change the state of an object(rest to motion/ motion to rest):For example, pushing a heavy stone in order to move it. 2) May change the speed of an object if it is already moving. 4) May bring about a change in the shape of an object. For example, blowing air in balloon.

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 23.5 m above water wit

Elodia [21]

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as

$\Delta KE = \Delta PE$
