What is the number of waves that pass a fixed ping in a given amount of time?

1 answer:

7 0

The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time is wave frequency. Wave frequency can be measured by counting the number of crests (high points) of waves that pass the fixed point in 1 second or some other time period. The higher the number is, the greater the frequency of the waves. :)

Write an essay on basketball history and how the game has changed over time

jarptica [38.1K]

Basket ball has gone through some changes and hence got into shape as what we play or watch nowadays. Overall rules have the same fundamental principles as set in 1891 by the founder of this game.

December 21st, in 1891, the introductory basketball game was played in Springfield, Massachusetts. It was first brought into shape by a Canadian-by birth, Dr. James Naismith. The basic idea of the new game was to keep the sports loving students in shape during the winters or in between the outdoor game seasons.

'The basket ball' which had a set of thirteen basic rules set up a strong foundation to the game and still played almost in the same style with few modifications.In the very year of 1891, after mixing and changing theme of several other played games of those days, basket ball was born.

Initially, basket ball with the 13 rules was played with 2 peach baskets setup as goals, which now a days are the baskets on a high poles although modified but with same basic idea. In the very first game played in Springfield, the set of players were able to score a single point only, in the whole game.

By comparing Naismith’s basketball and basketball of today we see a characteristic of the original game which had no dribbling, instead a player had to pass the ball to a another player of his team ,from his the very spot where he caught it. The second thing which has now changed is the fouls, in the original game if any team made 3 consecutive foul play ,the oponent received a goal in reward. Although this scoring technique doesn't exist in the modern basketball. Rather nowadays, if any team makes five fouls in one quarter, the offending team is in the penalty ,and shoot free throws are awarded against them.

All other rules are quiet intact in the modern play as well. As the game today,has extended to over 2 hundered countries and enjoyed by many on television screens, with modern umpiring and technologies being used in the game, but the original idea of the founder is still endured.

A force in the +x-direction with magnitude ????(x) = 18.0 N − (0.530 N/m)x is applied to a 6.00 kg box that is sitting on the ho

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

$v_f=8.17\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

First, we calculate the work done by this force after the box traveled 14 m, which is given by:

$W=\int\limits^{x_f}_{x_0} {F(x)} \, dx \\W=\int\limits^{14}_{0} ({18N-0.530\frac{N}{m}x}) \, dx\\W=[(18N)x-(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{x^2}{2}]^{14}_{0}\\W=(18N)14m-(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{(14m)^2}{2}-(18N)0+(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{0^2}{2}\\W=252N\cdot m-52N\cdot m\\W=200N\cdot m$

Since we have a frictionless surface, according to the the work–energy principle, the work done by all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle, that is:

$W=\Delta K\\W=K_f-K_i\\W=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}$

The box is initially at rest, so $v_i=0$ . Solving for $v_f$ :

$v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m}}\\v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2(200N\cdot m)}{6kg}}\\v_f=\sqrt{66.67\frac{m^2}{s^2}}\\v_f=8.17\frac{m}{s}$

A person is just as likely to become dehydrated in the cold as in the heat. Please select the best answer from the choices provi

alexdok [17]

The answer would be A) TRUE because we as humans can be dehydrated easily just by working out in sun or working out in the cold winter, that's how our body burns fat and calories, but it also burns our eyes since sweat has salt in it, and dehydrated means to run out of water for us, like not enough water, but yes to the answer its T.

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

gamma rays , X rays, ultraviolet , visible light , infrared, radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the set of electromagnetic radiations distributed in their different frequencies or wavelengths, which in turn are related to their energy. If we go from the smallest wavelengths known up to now (because according to physics the electromagnetic spectrum is infinite and continuous) to the longest, the electromagnetic spectrum covers the following radiations:

Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light (all the colors we are able to see), infrared, radio waves and microwaves.

Let's make a brief of them:

-Gamma rays: With a wavelength in the order of $10^{-12}m$ , is a type of ionizing radiation capable of penetrating matter quite deeply and is able to cause serious damage to the nucleus of the cells. Inaddiito, these rays are used to sterilize medical equipment and food.

-X rays: With a wavelength between $1m$ and $10km$ . It is invisible to the human eye, capable of crossing opaque bodies and of being an ionizing radiation.

-Ultraviolet light: Whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm; is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

-Visible light: This part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light (380 nm - 780 nm). It should be noted, the fact the only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

-Infrared: This type of radiation is not visible to the human eye, since its wavelengths are outside the visible spectrum (between 700 nm and 1 mm).

These waves can be divided into:

- Near infrared or long wave infrared: it is the least sensitive to color and is easily absorbed by water.

- Medium or medium wave infrared: it is also insensitive to color and easily absorbed by water and many types of plastics and paints.

- Far infrared or short wave infrared: it is more penetrating than the long wave and is good for heating metals, these waves also can pass through clear materials.

This light has many uses, including heating lamps in physiotherapy and medical treatments, heat sensing devices, among others.

-Radio waves: These are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 10 m to 10,000 m. This type of electromagnetic waves is very well reflected in the ionosphere, the layer of the atmosphere through which they travel directly or using repeaters. In addition, they are very useful to transport information, being important in telecommunications. They are used not only for conventional radio transmissions but also in mobile telephony and TV.
