The whole definition of frequency is: <em>How often something happens. </em>
Especially referring to something that happens over and over and over and over.
One example is Choice-C: How often the particles of a medium vibrate.
"Frequency" comes from the word "frequent". That means "often", and "frequency" just means "often-ness" ... HOW often the thing happens.
Some other examples:
Frequency of jump-roping . . . maybe 60 per minute .
Frequency of rain . . . maybe 5 per month .
Frequency of an AM radio station . . . maybe 1 million waves per second.
(If it's something <u><em>per second</em></u>, then we call it "Hertz". That's not for the car rental company. It's for Heinrich Hertz, the German Physicist who was the first one to prove that electromagnetic waves exist. He sent radio waves all the way ACROSS HIS LABORATORY and detected them at the other side ( ! ), in 1887.)
Frequency of the wiggles in the sound wave coming out of a trumpet playing the note ' A ' . . . 440 Hertz.
Frequency of sunrise and the Chicago Tribune newspaper . . . 1 per day
Frequency of the cycle of Moon phases and an average human woman's ovulation cycle: 1 per 29.531 days, 1 per ~28 days .
A textbook would hit the ground first
Factors:
-Textbook weighs most
-Pillow is flat and fluffy not very aerodynamic) also is very light
-Paper airplane will glide to the ground do to its wings and will hit the ground last
root mean square<span>= square root of ( 3RT/M)
R = 8.314 J/K/mole
T = 25 + 273 = 298 K
M = molecular mas of N2 in kg = 28 X 10^-3 kg
put values...
</span><span> root mean square</span> = square root of ( 3 X 8.314 X 298/28 X 10^-3)
= square root of ( 265454.143)
= 515.2 m/s
so option A is right
hope this helps
