Answer:

wavelength = speed/frequency

Explanation:

Required

Determine which of the options can be used to calculate frequency

The relationship between wavelength, speed and frequency is as follows;

$Frequency = \frac{Wave\ Speed}{Wave\ Length}$ ---- Equation 1

When option (1), (2) and (4) are rearranged, they do not result in the above formula; only option (3) does

Checking option (3)

$Wave\ Length = \frac{Speed}{Frequency}$

Multiply both sides by Frequency

$Wave\ Length * Frequency = \frac{Speed}{Frequency} * Frequency$

$Wave\ Length * Frequency = Speed$

Divide both sides by Wave Length

$\frac{Wave\ Length * Frequency}{Wave\ Length} = \frac{Speed}{Wave\ Length }$

$Frequency = \frac{Speed}{Wave\ Length }$ --- Equation 2

<em>Comparing equation 1 and 2; both equations are the same.</em>

<em>Hence, option (3) answers the question</em>

The amount of energy it takes to lift a box might be a function of which of the following?

Nesterboy [21]

The amount of energy it takes to lift a box might be a function of the weight of the objects inside the box. Work is proportional to force and distance. The force of the box is the weight itself of the box. Hence the answer to this problem is B.

a student standing in an elevator at rest notices that her pendulum has a frequency of oscillation of 0.5 Hz. a. what is the len

EastWind [94]

Answer:

L = 0.99 m = 99 cm

Explanation:

The period is the reciprocal of the frequency.

T = 1/0.5 = 2.0 s

T = 2π√(L/g)

L = g(T/2π)²

L = 9.8(2.0/2π)² = 0.99 m

If the system accelerates upward, it will cause the apparent gravity to increase. This will require a longer pendulum to keep the same period, or shorten the period if the length remains the same. This shows up in the equation where the product of gravity and the square of the period must remain constant for the length to remain constant.

If the atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for the electrons is called

Karolina [17]

If the atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for electrons, the bond is called a Polar covalent bond.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A covalent chemical bond is formed in case of two different non-metals when one or more electron pairs are shared between bonding atoms. A difference in electronegativity of subsequent atoms of a covalent bond leads to formation of a small net charge around nucleus of each atom, pulling the shared electrons to one side of the bond, to the nucleus which has higher electronegativity.

HCl is an example of polar covalent bond and the HCl bond has Chlorine more electronegative. The bonding electrons are more close to Cl than H and hence Cl is partially negatively charged than H which has partial positive charge (HCl bond : $H^{+} - Cl^{-}$ ). When electrons shared in a covalent bond have equal attraction, the bond is a Non-Polar covalent bond.
