Answer:

A. 50 Hz

B. 2 m/s

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 20 ms to s. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 ms = 1 s

Therefore,

20 ms = 20 ms × 1 s / 1000 ms

20 ms = 0.02 s

Next, we shall convert the value of the wavelength (i.e 4cm) to m. This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

4 cm = 4 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

4 cm = 0.04 m

A. Determination of the frequency.

Period (T) = 0.02 s

Frequency (f) =?

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 0.02

f = 50 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 50 Hz

B. Determination of the velocity.

Wavelength (λ) = 0.04 m

Frequency (f) = 50 Hz

Velocity (v) =?

v = λf

V = 0.04 × 50

v = 2 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the wave is 2 m/s

On Earth, a spring stretches by 5.0 cm when a mass of 3.0 kg is suspended from one end.
Neko [114]

Answer:

Mass = 18.0 kg

Explanation:

From Hooke's law,

F = ke

where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.

But, F = mg

So that,

mg = ke

On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/s^{2}.

3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0

30 = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{30}{5} ................ 1

On the Moon, the gravitational force is \frac{1}{6} of that on the Earth.

m x \frac{10}{6} = k x 5.0

\frac{10m}{6} = 5k

⇒ k = \frac{10m}{30} ............. 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

\frac{30}{5}  = \frac{10m}{30}

m = \frac{900}{50}

    = 18.0

m = 18.0 kg

The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.

To aid in the prevention of tooth decay, it is recommended that drinking water contain 0.800 ppm fluoride, F−. How many grams of
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

2.23 × 10^6 g of F- must be added to the cylindrical reservoir in order to obtain a drinking water with a concentration of 0.8ppm of F-

Explanation:

Here are the steps of how to arrive at the answer:

The volume of a cylinder = ((pi)D²/4) × H

Where D = diameter of the cylindrical reservoir = 2.02 × 10^2m

H = Height of the reservoir = 87.32m

Therefore volume of cylindrical reservoir = (3.142×202²/4)m² × 87.32m = 2798740.647m³

1ppm = 1g/m³

0.8ppm = 0.8 × 1g/m³

= 0.8g/m³

Therefore to obtain drinking water of concentration 0.8g/m³ in a reservoir of volume 2798740.647m³, F- of mass = 0.8g/m³ × 2798740.647m³ = 2.23 × 10^6 g must be added to the tank.
