What is the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds ​

Physics
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

The time taken by a wave crest to travel a distance equal to the length of wave is known as wave period.

The relation between wave period and frequency is as follows.

T = \frac{1}{f}T=

f

1

where, T = time period

f = frequency

It is given that wave period is 18 seconds. Therefore, calculate the wave period as follows.

T = \frac{1}{f}T=

f

1

or, f = \frac{1}{T}f=

T

1

= \frac{1}{18 sec}

18sec

1

= 0.055 per second (1cycle per second = 1 Hertz)

or, f = 5.5 \times 10^{-2} hertz5.5×10 −2 hertz

<h3>Thus, we can conclude that the frequency of the wave is 5.5 \times 10^{-2} hertz5.5×10 −2 hertz .</h3>

Show that the Mass spring system executes simple harmonic motion(SHM)?​
murzikaleks [220]

Explanation:

Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM

Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed

at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.

If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.

According to "Hook's Law

F = - Kx ---- (1)

Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.

Where K= Spring Constant

If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion

from a to b and then b to a.

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by

F = ma ---- (2)

Comparing equation (1) & (2)

ma = -kx

Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,

a = - (Constant)x

or

a a -x

This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.

Equations to use: v= λ ∙ f v=d/t
Margarita [4]

b. 460.8 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between the speed of the wave along the string, the length of the string and the frequency of the note is

f=\frac{v}{2L}

where v is the speed of the wave, L is the length of the string and f is the frequency. Re-arranging the equation and substituting the data of the problem (L=0.90 m and f=256 Hz), we can find v:

v=2Lf=2(0.90 m)(256 Hz)=460.8 m/s

c. 18,000 m

Explanation:

The relationship between speed of the wave, distance travelled and time taken is

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

v = 6,000 m/s is the speed of the wave

d = ? is the distance travelled

t = 3 s is the time taken

Re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers into it, we find:

d=vt=(6,000 m/s)(3 s)=18,000 m

maxonik [38]

Answer:

a = -0.4m/s²

Explanation:

v_f = v_I + (a)(t)

a(t) = v_f-v_I

a = (v_f-v_I)/t

a = (0m/s-12m/s)/30s

a = -0.4m/s²

Which device conferts electric energy into mechanical energy
Phantasy [73]

An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

What is electric motor?

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

A generator is  mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates with a reversed flow of power

Hence  it will convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Some applications of electric motor are:

Industrial fans, blowers and pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools, vehicles, and disk drives.
