<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
The period of the wave is <u><em>4 seconds</em></u>
<h3>
<em><u>Explanation;</u></em></h3>
- <em><u>The period of a wave or periodic time is the time taken for one complete oscillation to occur.</u></em> In this case, one complete oscillation occurs when the wave moves from one crest to the next or a trough to the next. <em><u>This takes 4 seconds. Therefore the period is 4 seconds.</u></em>
- <em><u>Frequency on the other hand is the number of oscillations by a wave in one second. Thus, f = 1/T, that is frequency is the reciprocal of periodic time.</u></em>
The speed will increase, as there is acceleration, while the acceleration will remain constant, as gravity is constant.
Answer:
v<em>min</em> = 0.23 m/s
Explanation:
The golf ball must travel a distance equal to its diameter in the time between blade arrivals to avoid being hit. If there are 12 blades and 12 blade openings and they have the same width, then each blade or opening is 1/24 of a circle of is 2π/24 = 0.26 radians across.
Therefore, the time between the edge of one blade moving out of the way and the next blade moving in the way is
time = angular distance/angular velocity
⇒ t = 0.26 rad / 1.35 rad/s = 0.194 s
The golf ball must get completely through the blade path in this time, so must move a distance equal to its diameter in 0.194 s, therefore the speed of the golf ball is
v =d/t
⇒ v = 0.045 m / 0.194 s = 0.23 m/s
Earth's gravity and the satellite's velocity keeps it so that it stays in orbit. (there is a more complicated side, too...)
