Answer:

T = 0.96 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of wave, v = 2.6 m/s

The distance between wave crests, \lambda=2.5\ m

We need to find the period of the wave motion. Let T be the period. So,

v=\dfrac{\lambda}{T}\\\\T=\dfrac{\lambda}{v}\\\\T=\dfrac{2.5}{2.6}\\\\T=0.96\ s

So, the period of the wave motion is equal to 0.96 seconds.

A flute player hears four beats per second when she compares her note to an 880 Hz tuning fork (note A). She can match the frequ
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

884Hz

Explanation:

Beats is the absolute difference between two frequencies therefore

Beats = f1-f2

4=f1-880

F1=880+4

F1=884Hz

Help. I need to find the degree using the sine law.
Marina CMI [18]
Use pythagorean theorem
a ^{2}  + b {}^{2}  = c {}^{2}
to find the opposite side, which is 7.3

so then you can just use inverse sinA=7.3/10 which equals 46.9 degrees

In Challenge Example 11.9 (p. 280), after the explosion, suppose that the m1 fragment shot directly north at 12 m/s and the m3 f
Inga [223]

The question is incomplete. The mass of the object is 10 gram and travelling at a speed of 2 m/s.

Solution:

It is given that mass of object before explosion is,m = 10 g

Speed of object before explosion, v = 2 m/s

Let $m_1, m_2 \text{ and}\ m_3$ be the masses of the three fragments.

Let $v_1, v_2 \text{ and}\ v_3$ be the velocities of the three fragments.

Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum,

$mv=m_1v_1 +m_2v_2+m_3v_3$

$10 \times 2  \hat i=3 \times 12 \hat{j} + 3(v_{2x} \hat{i}+v_{2y} \hat{j})-4 \times 9 \hat{j}$

So the x- component of the velocity of the m2 fragment after the explosion is,

$3v_{2x} = 20$

∴ $v_{2x} = 6.67 \ m/s$
