Answer:

The frequency is four waves per second.

Explanation:

You make it so the time is one second.

To do that you divide 5 seconds by 5.

Since you divide the seconds by 5 you now have to divide the amount of waves by 5.

20/5=4 5/5=1

Now your answer is four waves per second.

What is the resistance force when you walk up an inclined plane?<br> Please help quick!

Friction
Friction also affects the movement of an object on a slope. Friction is a force that offers resistance to movement when one object is in contact with another. Imagine now that you were on the downside of the object and applying force to keep the object in the same place (not moving)

A river flows with a speed of 0.600 m/s. A student first swims upriver 0.500 km, then turns around and returns to his starting p

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a) 1111.0 seconds

b) 833.3 s

c) Because of proportions

Explanation:

a) Total time of round trip is the sum of time upriver and time downriver

$t_{total}=t_{up}+t_{down}$

Time upriver is calculated with the net speed of student and 0.500 km:

$t_{up}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=v_{relative to river}+v_{river}=-1.2+0.6=-0.6 m/s\\t_{up}=\frac{500 m}{0.6 m/s}=833.3 s$

(Becareful with units 0.5 km= 500m) Similarly of downriver:

$t_{down}=\frac{d_{istance}}{|v_{swimmer}|} ;\\v_{swimmer}=1.2+0.6=1.8 m/s\\t_{down}=\frac{500 m}{1.8 m/s}=277.7 s$

So the sum is:

$t_{total}=1111.0s$

b) Still water does not affect student speed, so total time would be simply:

$t_{total}=\frac{1000 m}{1.2 m/s}=833.3 s$

c) For the upriver trip, student moved half the distance in half speed of the calculation in b), so it kept the same ratio and therefore, same time. So the aditional time is actually the downriver.

Amy swims 500 m (0.5 Km) in 6 minutes (0.1 hour). What was her speed in Kilometers per hour? A. 8.3 Km/hr B. 5 Km/hr C. 50 Km/hr

kondor19780726 [428]

Speed = Distance ÷ Time so divide .5 km by .1h. .5 km÷.1h=5 km/h, so the answer is B. 5km/h.
