Answer:

49.5 Hz.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Period (T) = 0.0202 s

Frequency (f) =?

The frequency and period of a wave are related according to the following equation:

Frequency (f) = 1 / period (T)

f = 1/T

With the above formula, we can obtain the frequency of the wave as follow:

Period (T) = 0.0202 s

Frequency (f) =?

f = 1/T

f = 1/0.0202

f = 49.5 Hz

Therefore the frequency of the wave is 49.5 Hz.

Find your acceleration from 8.3 m/s to 12.5 m/s in 1.24 seconds.

balu736 [363]

The <u>average</u> acceleration for an object undergoing this change in velocity is

(12.5 m/s - 8.3 m/s) / (1.24 s) = (4.2 m/s) / (1.24 s) ≈ 3.4 m/s²

High-speed stroboscopic photographs show that the head of a 180 g golf club is traveling at 47 m/s just before it strikes a 46 g

inn [45]

Answer:

47 m/s

Explanation:

golf club mass, mc = 180 g

golf ball mass, mb = 46 g

initial golf club speed, vc1 = 47 m/s

final golf club speed, vc2 = 35 m/s

initial golf ball speed, vb1 = 0 m/s

final golf ball speed, vb2 = ? m/s

The total momentum is conserved, then:

mc*vc1 + mb*vb1 = mc*vc2 + mb*vb2

Replacing with data and solving (dimension are omitted):

180*47 + 46*0 = 180*35 + 46*vb2

vb2 = (180*47 - 180*35)/46

vb2 = 47 m/s

A 2290 kg car traveling to the west at 22.3 m/s slows down uniformly. How long would it take the car to come to a stop if the fo

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

5.72 s

Explanation:

From Newton's law, F = ma

The East is +ve direction, Hence,

F = +8930 N

m = 2290 kg

a = ?

8930 = 2290 × a

a = 8930/2290 = 3.90 m/s²

So, we will find the time it takes the car to stop using the equations of motion

a = 3.90 m/s²

u = initial velocity of the car = - 22.3 m/s (the velocity is to the west)

v = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s (since the car comes to rest)

t = time taken for the car to come to rest = ?

v = u + at

0 = - 22.3 + (3.90)(t)

3.9t = 22.3

t = 5.72 s
