3 0

Answer:

The period of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle. Period, being a time, is measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days or years. The period of orbit for the Earth around the Sun is approximately 365 days; it takes 365 days for the Earth to complete a cycle.

Sam's bike tire contains 15 units of air particles and has a volume of 160mL. Under these conditions the pressure reads 13 psi.
vichka [17]
Use ideal gas equation, with T constant.

pV =nRT => pV / n = RT = constant

n = K* [units of particles]

pV / [units of particles] = constant

13 psi * 160 mL / 15 units = p * 150 mL / 10 units =>

=> p = [13psi*160mL/15units]*[10units/150mL] = 9.2 psi

Calculate the time it would take a motor with a power of 0.6kW to lift a suitcase of 20kg a distance of 50cm
True [87]

Answer:

0.163 s

Explanation:

Appying,

P = mgh/t................ Equation 1

Where P = power of the motor, m = mass of the suitcase, h = vertical distance, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

make t the subject of the equation,

t = mgh/P................ Equation 2

Given: m = 20 kg, h = 50 cm = 0.5 m, P = 0.6 kW = 600 W

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = (20×0.5×9.8)/600

t = 0.163 s

What is the exact meaning of croos section and cross sectional area of a conductor?
Sonbull [250]
The cross section is the little tiny circle you see when you cut a wire
and look at the flat, cut end.

The cross-sectional area of the wire is the area of that little circle. 
It's equal to

                           Area = (pi) x (1/4) x (Diameter of the wire)²

A beam of blue light is incident on the water/air boundary. what does not change
Dima020 [189]
The frequency of the beam does not change. The direction of the beam, the speed it travels at, the wavelength and indeed the color of the beam will all likely change, but not the frequency and the inherent energy of the beam.

Jack and jill blow their whistles at the same time producing sound waves at frequencies of 400 hz and 404 hz respectively. how m
Lera25 [3.4K]

When two sound waves of similar frequency interfere with each other, there is a fluctuating sound heard which is periodic and repeating. This fluctuating sound is called beat. Beat frequency( number of beats per second) is equal to the difference of the frequency of the two sound waves.

So, sound waves of frequency 400 Hz and 404 Hz will produce 4 beats per second.
