Explanation:

A wavefront is the long edge that moves, for example, the crest or the trough. Each point on the wavefront emits a semicircular wave that moves at the propagation speed v. These are drawn at a time t later, so that they have moved a distance s = vt.

balls a, with a mass of 20 kg, is moving to the right at 20 m/s. At what velocity should Ball B, with a mass of 40 kg, move so t

Leya [2.2K]

In that case, their momentum must be equal.
So, m1v1 = m2v2
20 * 20 = 40 * v2
v2 = 400 / 40
v2 = 10

In short, Your Answer would be: 10 m/s

Hope this helps!

What is the term that describes waves that require a medium through which to travel?

gladu [14]

Answer:

Mechanical waves are waves that require a medium. This means that they have to have some sort of matter to travel through. These waves travel when molecules in the medium collide with each other passing on energy. One example of a mechanical wave is sound.

Find the length of a pendulum that oscillates with a frequency of 0.16 hz. the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . answe

Vsevolod [243]

The period of the pendulum is the reciprocal of the frequency:
$T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{0.16 Hz}=6.25 s$

The period of the pendulum is given by
$T=2 \pi \frac{L}{g}$
where L is the length of the pendulum, and g the acceleration of gravity. By re-arranging the formula and using the value of T we found before, we can calculate the length of the pendulum L:
$L=g \frac{T^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=(9.81 m/s^2) \frac{(6.25 s)^2}{(2 \pi)^2}=9.71 m$
