What unit is used to measure the period of a wave?

Physics
1 answer:
mixer [17]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

D. Meters/Seconds

Explanation:

The time period of a wave is measured in seconds.

A typical wave involves both time and distance.  Consider a sound wave, which is basically a periodic modulation of the local air pressure.  We "hear" the sound because our ears respond to the variations of pressure.

The most common metric of a sound wave is frequency.  This is the rate at which the change in pressure occurs, and is measured in cycles per second, formally known as "hertz".  The period is the inverse of frequency andl has the units of seconds per cycle, commonly stated simply as seconds.

When making a turn, do not have the steering wheel turned in the direction of the turn before beginning the turning maneuver.a)
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

a) True.

Explanation:

If you turn the wheel in the direction of the turn before beginning the turning maneuver then it's possible that there might be not enough space available for turning and also if you are waiting for the traffic to get clear with rear  ended then it will get pushed forward onto the coming traffic.

Read each scenario and then answer the question. Scenario A: 120 J of work is done in 6 s. Scenario B: 160 J of work is done in
Alexeev081 [22]

The power in every scenario is the same. Power is the measurement of the energy transfer over time.

<h3>What is power?</h3>

Power is the measurement of the energy transfer over time. It can be calculated by the formula,

P = \dfrac Wt

Where,

P- power

W - work

t - time

In scenario A,

P = \dfrac {120 }6 = 20 \rm \ W

In scenario B,

P = \dfrac {160 }8 = 20 \rm \ W

In scenario B,

P = \dfrac {200 }{10} = 20 \rm \ W

Therefore, the power in every scenario is the same.

A student of weight 678 N rides a steadily rotating Ferris wheel (the student sits upright). At the highest point, the magnitude
baherus [9]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of seat force at lowest point = 678 + 92 = 770

(b) Force exerted by the seat (highest point)  = 310 N

(c) Force exerted by seat (lowest point) = 1046 N

Explanation:

At the highest point the magnitude of force by the seat = 586 N

The weight of the student = 678 N

Thus, at the highest point, the difference in this force is due to the centrifugal force acting on the boy. This can be calculated as follows:

Centrifugal Force = 678 - 586 = 92 N

(a) The magnitude of force on the student by the seat at the lowest point will have to appose both the student's weight and centrifugal force acting towards the ground. This would mean:

Magnitude of seat force at lowest point = 678 + 92 = 770 N

(b) If the wheel's speed is doubled, the centrifugal force will change accordingly. The equation of centrifugal force is given below:

F = m * v^2 / r

We can see from this that the force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity. So if the velocity is doubled, the centrifugal force increases four times.

So at the highest point the centrifugal force will decrease the force of weight acting on the seat. The seat force would then be:

Force exerted by the seat = Weight - Centrifugal force

Force exerted by the seat = 678 - (4 * 92)

Force exerted by the seat (highest point)  = 310 N

(c) The force exerted by the seat at the lowest point will be the centrifugal force plus the weight.

This is:

Force exerted by seat = Centrifugal force + Weight

Force exerted by seat = (4 * 92) + 678

Force exerted by seat (lowest point) = 1046 N

The magnitude of the magnetic field at a certain distance from a long, straight conductor is represented by B. What is the magni
masya89 [10]

Answer:

  B/4

Explanation:

The magnetic field strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the current. At double the distance, the strength will be 1/2^2 = 1/4 of that at the original distance:

The field at twice the distance is B/4.
