Answer:
a) f=0.1 Hz ; b) T=10s
c)λ= 36m
d)v=3.6m/s
e)amplitude, cannot be determined
Explanation:
Complete question is:
Determine, if possible, the wave's (a) frequency, (b) period, (c) wavelength, (d) speed, and (e) amplitude.
Given:
number of wave crests 'n'= 5
pass in a time't' 54.0s
distance between two successive crests 'd'= 36m
a) Frequency of the waves 'f' can be determined by dividing number of wave crests with time, so we have
f=n/t
f= 5/ 54 => 0.1Hz
b)The time period of wave 'T' is the reciprocal of the frequency
therefore,
T=1/f
T=1/0.1
T=10 sec.
c)wavelength'λ' is the distance between two successive crests i.e 36m
Therefore, λ= 36m
d) speed of the wave 'v' can be determined by the product of frequency and wavelength
v= fλ => 0.1 x 36
v=3.6m/s
e) For amplitude, no data is given in this question. So, it cannot be determined.
Answer:
has more energy, has a greater amplitude, has a higher frequency
Explanation:
Answer: 3 m.
Explanation:
Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.
As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.
If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):
mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0
60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0
Solving for d:
d = 3 m.
