Answer:

0.2 Hz

Explanation:

Frequency: This can be defined as the number of circles completed by a wave in one seconds. The s.i unit is hertz.

From the question,

If 4 Waves arrives on the shore every 20 seconds,

Then,

x waves will arrives on the shore in one seconds

Solving for x

x = (4×1)/20

x = 0.2 Hz

Hence the frequency of the wave is 0.2 Hz

Does an object which is positively charged contains all protons and no electrons?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Positively charged objects have electrons; they simply possess more protons than electrons.

Explanation:

2. An object that is electrically neutral contains only neutrons. Electrically neutral atoms simply possess the same number of electrons as protons.

<h3>Information:</h3>

If an atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, its net charge is 0. If it gains an extra electron, it becomes negatively charged and is known as an anion.

If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and is known as a cation.

What force is necessary to accelerate a 70kg object at a rate of 4.2m/s <br>squared

ser-zykov [4K]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Force = (mass) · (acceleration)

   = (70 kg) · (4.2 m/s²)

   = (70 · 4.2) kg·m/s²

   = 294 newtons

<u><em>The question doesn't provide enough data to be solved, but I'm assuming some magnitudes to help you to solve your own problem</em></u>

Answer:

<em>The maximum height is 0.10 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Transformation</u>

It's referred to as the change of one energy from one form to another or others. If we compress a spring and then release it with an object being launched on top of it, all the spring (elastic) potential energy is transformed into kinetic and gravitational energies. When the object stops in the air, all the initial energy is now gravitational potential energy.

If a spring of constant K is compressed a distance x, its potential energy is

$\displaystyle P_E=\frac{Kx^2}{2}$
