Valentin [98]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The wavelength of the waves created in the swimming pool is 0.4 m

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the wave, f = 2 Hz

velocity of the wave, v = 0.8 m/s

The wavelength of the wave is given by;

λ = v / f

where;

λ is the wavelength

f is the frequency

v is the wavelength

λ = 0.8 / 2

λ = 0.4 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the waves created in the swimming pool is 0.4 m

Which has greater mass of a bowling ball at rest for a rolling basketball which has greater momentum
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The rolling basketball has greater momentum.

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is defined as the product of mass and velocity.

Given that the bowling mass has a greater mass than the basketball,

The bowling ball is at rest, so the velocity if the ball is zero.

The basketball is rolling, it has some velocity associated with it.

Therefore, the momentum of the bowling ball is zero.

The basketball has some momentum associated with it.

Hence, the rolling basketball has greater momentum.

It takes 120 minutes for a man to ride his bicycle up the road to Alpe d'Huez in France. The vertical height of the climb is 1,1
Greeley [361]
First solve the potential energy of the biker. using the fomula:
PE = mgh
where m  is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity ( 9.81 m/s2)
h is the height

PE = 96 kg ( 1120 m ) ( 9.81 m/s2)
PE = 1054771.2 J
then power = Work / time
P = 1054771.2 J / ( 120 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min)
P = 146.5 W

How much force do you push down on the Earth with? (Hint: 1kg is about 2 pounds).​
Gennadij [26K]

Answer: 100lbs

Explanation: The Earth pushes you down at 100lbs, so you push down the earth by 100lbs which is enough to keep you firmly attached to the ground and not allow you to jump more than a couple of feet.

una onda longitudinal tiene una frecuencia de 200 hz y una longitud de onda de 4.2m ¿cual es la rapidez de la onda?​
swat32

Answer:

v = 8.4 m/s

Explanation:

The question ays, "A longitudinal wave has a frequency of 200 Hz and a wavelength of 4.2m. What is the speed of the wave?".

Frequency of a wave, f = 200 Hz

Wavelength = 4.2 cm = 0.042 m

We need to find the speed of the wave. The formula for the speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\v=200\times 0.042\\\\=8.4\ m/s

So, the speed of the wave is equal to 8.4 m/s.

An aluminum-alloy rod has a length of 10.0 cm at 20°C and a length of 10.015 cm at the boiling point of water (1000C). (a) What
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a.  9.99625 cm b. 68 °C

Explanation:

(a) What is the length of the rod at the freezing point of water (0 0C)?

Before we find the length of the rod, we need to find the coefficient of linear expansion, α = (L - L₀)/[L₀(T - T₀)] where L₀ = length of rod at temperature T₀ = 10.0 cm, T₀ = 20 °C, L = length of rod at temperature T = 10.015 cm and T = 100 °C

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

α = (L - L₀)/[L₀(T - T₀)]

α = (10.015 cm - 10.0 cm)/[10.0 cm(100 °C - 20 °C)]

α = 0.015 cm/[10.0 cm × 80 °C]

α = 0.015 cm/[800.0 cm °C]

α = 0.00001875 /°C

We now find the length L₁ at T₁ = 0 °C from

L₁ = L₀(1 + α(T₁ - T₀))

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

L₁ = L₀(1 + α(T₁ - T₀))

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 +  0.00001875 /°C(0° C - 20 °C)]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 +  0.00001875 /°C × -20° C]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 - 0.000375]

L₁ = 10.0 cm[0.999625]

L₁ = 9.99625 cm

(b) What is the temperature if the length of the rod is 10.009 cm?

With length L₃ = 10.009 cm at temperature T₃, using

L₃ = L₀(1 + α(T₃ - T₀))

making T₃ subject of the formula, we have

L₃/L₀ = 1 + α(T₃ - T₀)

L₃/L₀ - 1 = α(T₃ - T₀)

T₃ - T₀ = (L₃/L₀ - 1)/α

T₃ = T₀ + (L₃/L₀ - 1)/α

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

T₃ = 20 °C + (10.009 cm/10.0 cm - 1)/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + (1.0009 - 1)/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + 0.0009/0.00001875 /°C

T₃ = 20 °C + 48 °C

T₃ = 68 °C
