Velocity of the wave is 1.7 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of the wave is defined as the number of waves crossing a fixed point per second

So here we will have

Also we know that the distance between two consecutive crest or two consecutive trough is known as wavelength

So here the wavelength of the wave is given as

now we have

Phantasy [73]

The question is incomplete. It comes with a set of answer choices.

These are the answer choices:

Alex observes it as 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as less than 10 m/s.

Alex observes it as less than 10 m/s, and his friend observes it as 10 m/s.

Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.

Both Alex and his friend observe it as less than 10 m/s.

Answer: Both Alex and his friend observe it as 10 m/s.

Justification:

1) The speed is relative to the frame of reference.

2) It is said that the both Alex and his friend are standing still.

3) Then, the speed they both see is the same, 10 m/s, respect the Earth (where they are standing still).

Of course, Alex is watching the ball moving away and his friend is seing it approaching, but it is not relevant for the question, as it deals with the speed which is only about magnitude, not direction.

In a collision, a 25.0 kg mass moving at 3.0 m/s transfers all of its momentum to a 5.0 kg mass.

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

The momentum of the 25 kg mass is

$p=mv$

$p=25kg*3m/s= 75kg*m/s$

If this whole momentum of the object is transferred to the 5.0 kg object then according to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the 25.0 kg object must be transferred to the 5.0 kg object:

$75kg*m/s = 5.0kg*v$

$v=\dfrac{75}{5}$

$\boxed{v=15m/s}$

what is the resistance of a car light bulb that conducts 0.025A current when connected to a 12V car accumulator? is the current

Sophie [7]

One form of Ohm's Law says . . . . . Resistance = Voltage / Current .

R = V / I

R = (12 v) / (0.025 A)

R = (12 / 0.025) (V/I)

I don't know if the current in the bulb is steady, because I don't know what a car's "accumulator" is. (Floogle isn't sure either.)

If you're referring to the car's battery, then the current is quite steady, because the battery is a purely DC storage container.

If you're referring to the car's "alternator" ... the thing that generates electrical energy in a car to keep the battery charged ... then the current is pulsating DC, because that's the form of the alternator's output.

I). Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object that is used to do work.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

false statement : b ) For the motion of a cart on an incline plane having a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.5, the magnitude of the change in kinetic energy equals the magnitude of the change in gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy = constant

differentiating both side

Δ potential energy + Δ kinetic energy = 0

Δ potential energy = - Δ kinetic energy

first statement is true.

Friction is a non conservative force so inter-conversion of potential and kinetic energy is not possible in that case. In case of second option, the correct relation is as follows

change in gravitational potential energy = change in kinetic energy + work done against friction .

So given 2 nd option is incorrect.

In case of no change in gravitational energy , work done is equal to

change in kinetic energy.
