Answer:

a = 12 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 0.5 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left

2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a

6 = 0.5*a

a = 12 [m/s²]

Hahahahaha. Okay.

So basically , force is equal to mass into acceleration.

F=ma

so when F=ma , we get acceleration=6m/s/s

Force is doubled.

Mass is 1/3 times original.

2F=1/3ma

Now , we rearrange , and we get 6F=ma

So , now for 6 times the original force , we get 6 times the initial acceleration.

So new acceleration = 6*6= 36m/s/s

A wave travels at 295 m/s and has a wavelength of 2.50 m. What is the frequency of the wave?
posledela

Answer:

118\; \rm Hz.

Explanation:

The frequency f of a wave is equal to the number of wave cycles that go through a point on its path in unit time (where "unit time" is typically equal to one second.)

The wave in this question travels at a speed of v= 295\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}. In other words, the wave would have traveled 295\; \rm m in each second. Consider a point on the path of this wave. If a peak was initially at that point, in one second that peak would be

How many wave cycles can fit into that 295\; \rm m? The wavelength of this wave\lambda = 2.50\; \rm m gives the length of one wave cycle. Therefore:

\displaystyle \frac{295\;\rm m}{2.50\; \rm m} = 118.

That is: there are 118 wave cycles in 295\; \rm m of this wave.

On the other hand, Because that 295\; \rm m of this wave goes through that point in each second, that 118 wave cycles will go through that point in the same amount of time. Hence, the frequency of this wave would be

Because one wave cycle per second is equivalent to one Hertz, the frequency of this wave can be written as:

f = 118\; \rm s^{-1} = 118\; \rm Hz.

The calculations above can be expressed with the formula:

\displaystyle f = \frac{v}{\lambda},

where

  • v represents the speed of this wave, and
  • \lambda represents the wavelength of this wave.

Many firms develop a formal marketing plan to answer the question: who is your target market and how do you plan to reach them. A marketing plan is a comprehensive document which sets out an organization's overall marketing strategy. A marketing plan will include digital media, print media as well as product development strategies. The marketing plan takes the organization's mission statement and turns it into a practical plan. Its goal is to practically implement the reason for the organization's existance.
