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.

By what factor would your weight be multiplied if the earth were1/2 as massavise and the diameter was unchanged
Nutka1998 [239]
<span>Let F be the force of gravity, G be the gravitational constant, M be the mass of the earth, m your mass and r the radius of the earth, then: 

F = G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2)) 

The above expression gives the force that you feel on the earth's surface, as it is today! 

Let us now double the mass of the earth and decrease its diameter to half its original size. 

This is the same as replacing M with 2M and r with r/2. 

Now the gravitational force (F' ) on the new earth's surface is given by: 

F' = G(2Mm / (4(pi)(r/2)^2)) = 2G(Mm / ((1/4)*4(pi)*r^2)) = 8G(Mm / (4(pi)*r^2)) = 8F 

So: 

F' = 8F 

This implies that the force that you would feel pulling you down (your weight) would increase by 800%! 

You would be 8 times heavier on this "new" earth!</span>

Scilla [17]

Answer: A:The reproductive system produces hormones.

B:The reproductive system transports reproductive cells.

C:The reproductive system produces reproductive cells.

Explanation:

A:The reproductive system produces hormones. : The reproductive organs ovaries in females and testes in males produces hormones. The ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone and testes produce testosterone.

B:The reproductive system transports reproductive cells. : The ovaries in females transfers an egg into the fallopian tube and testes in males secrete sperms at the time of copulation the fertilization of egg and sperm leads to the development of zygote the precursor of new life.

C:The reproductive system produces reproductive cells.: The ovaries undergo oogenesis and in testes spermatogenesis takes place to develop egg and sperms respectively.
