Answer:

B. It decreases proportionally to the wavelength

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength, velocity, and frequency of a wave is given as;

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

where;

f is the frequency of the wave

v is the velocity of the wave

λ is the wavelength

From the equation above, the frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength. As the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases and vice versa.

Therefore, the correct option is "B"

B. It decreases proportionally to the wavelength

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

0.006075Joules

Explanation:

The final kinetic energy of the system is expressed as;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v²

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two bodies

v is the final velocity of the bodies after collision

get the final velocity using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

0.12(0.45) + 0/12(0) = (0.12+0.12)v

0.054 = 0.24v

v = 0.054/0.24

v = 0.225m/s

Get the final kinetic energy;

KE = 1/2(m1+m2)v

KE = 1/2(0.12+0.12)(0.225)²

KE = 1/2(0.24)(0.050625)

KE = 0.12*0.050625

KE = 0.006075Joules

Hence the final kinetic energy of the system is 0.006075Joules

As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted o

STatiana [176]

Answer:

3335400 N/m² or 483.75889 lb/in²

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

A = Area = 1.5 cm²

m = Mass of woman = 51 kg

F = Force = mg

When we divide force by area we get pressure

$P=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{mg}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{51\times 9.81}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}\\\Rightarrow P=3335400\ N/m^2$

$1\ N/m^2=\frac{1}{6894.757}\ lb/in^2$

$3335400\ N/m^2=3335400\times \frac{1}{6894.757}\ lb/in^2=483.75889\ lb/in^2$

The pressure exerted on the floor is 3335400 N/m² or 483.75889 lb/in²

The multi-link mechanism in the Variable Compression Turbo Engine _____, thus varying the compression ratio.

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

A. Adjusts how far down the piston travels

Explanation:

This type of engine changes the possition of the piston in order to modify the compression chamber volume and therefore the compression ratio of the engine. The volume of the chamber is proportional to the run of the piston (how far down the piston travels)

This engine is used to achive the optimal compression rate in each individual stage.

The pressure exerted by a gas is 2.0 atm while it has a volume of 350 mL. What would be the volume of this sample of gas at stan

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

volume is 700 mL

Explanation:

pressure = 2 atm

volume = 350 mL = 0.350 L

to find out

volume

solution

we will apply here equation that is

P1×V1 = P2×V2 ..............1

here P1 = 2 and V1 = 0.350 and P2 = 1 for standard atmospheric pressure

so put all value here in equation 1 and get V2 volume

2 × 0.350 = 1 × V2

V2 = 0.700 L

V2 = 700 mL

so volume is 700 mL
