Answer:

f = 2 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is defined as the no. of waves passing per unit of time. Therefore, the frequency of a wave can be calculated by the following formula:

f = \frac{n}{t}

where,

f = frequency of the wave = ?

t = time passed = 1 s

n = no. of waves passing in time t = 2

Therefore,

f = \frac{2}{1\ s}

<u>f = 2 Hz</u>

ipn [44]

Answer:

t=0.42s

Explanation:

Here you have an inelastic collision. By the conservation of the momentum you have:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

m1: mass of the bullet

m2: wooden block mass

v1: velocity of the bullet

v2: velocity of the wooden block

v: velocity of bullet and wooden block after the collision.

By noticing that after the collision, both objects reach the same height from where the wooden block was dropped, you can assume that v is equal to the negative of v2. In other words:

m_1(-v_1)+m_2v_2=(m1+m2)(-v2)

Where you assumed that the negative direction is upward. By replacing and doing v2 the subject of the formula you get:

-(0.0129kg)(767m/s)+(1.17kg)v_2=(1.1829kg)(-v_2)\\\\v_2=4.20m/s

Now, with this information you can use the equation for the final speed of an accelerated motion and doing t the subject of the formula. IN other words:

v_2=v_o+gt\\\\t=\frac{v_2-v_o}{g}=\frac{4.2m/s-0m/s}{9.8m/s^2}=0.42s

hence, the time is t=0.42 s

if you were to draw a 3rd harmonic of a tube open at both ends, what would you draw at the ends of the tube?
Katena32 [7]

A 3rd harmonic of a tube open at both ends will have displacement antinodes at both ends.

In a tube of length L with two open ends, the longest standing wave has displacement antinodes (pressure nodes) at both ends. The fundamental or first harmonic is what it is known as. The second harmonic is the longest standing wave in a tube of length L with two open ends.

A 2-kg wheel rolls down the road with a linear speed of 15m/s. Find its trwansitional and rotational kinetic energies.​
Elza [17]

Answer:

The translational kinetic energy is 225 J

The rotational kinetic energy is 225 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the wheel, m = 2-kg

linear speed of the wheel, v = 15 m/s

Transnational kinetic energy is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂MV²

where;

M is mass of the moving object

V is the velocity of the object

E =  ¹/₂ x 2 x (15)²

E = 225 J

Rotational kinetic energy is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂Iω²

where;

I is moment of inertia

ω is angular velocity

E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} *mr^2*(\frac{v}{r})^2\\\\E =  \frac{1}{2} *mr^2*\frac{v^2}{r^2} \\\\E =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2

E =  ¹/₂ x 2 x (15)²

E = 225 J

Thus, the translational kinetic energy is equal to rotational kinetic energy
