Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

The wavelength of a transverse wave (where the oscillation occurs perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave) is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests ot two consecutive troughs.

In a longitudinal wave, where the oscillation occurs parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions.

Other important definitions for a wave are:

- Frequency: the number of complete cycles per second

- Period: the time needed for one complete cycle to occur

- Amplitude: the distance between the equilibrium position and the maximum displacement of the wave

the gravitational force between two objects is 1600 and what will be the gravitational force between the objects if the distance
Xelga [282]

I believe this is what you have to do:

The force between a mass M and a point mass m is represented by

F = G\frac{Mm}{r^{2} }

So lets compare it to the original force before it doubles, it would just be the exact formula so lets call that F₁

So F₁ = G(Mm/r^2)

Now the distance has doubled so lets account for this in F₂:

F₂ = G(Mm/(2r)^2)

Now square the 2 that gives you four and we can pull that out in front to give

F₂ = \frac{1}{4} G(Mm/r^2)

Now we can replace G(Mm/r^2) with F₁ as that is the value of the force before alterations

now we see that:

F₂ = \frac{1}{4} F₁

So the second force will be 0.25 (1/4) x 1600 or 400 N.

A 0.15 kg project hits the ground with a speed of 11 m/s. The project comes to rest in 0.015 seconds. What is the net force?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

ACCORDING TO NEWTONS SECOND LAW;

F = mass * acceleration

F = m(v-u/t)

m is the mass = 0.15kg

v is the final velocity = 11m/s

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

t is the time = 0.015

Substitute;

F = 0.15(11-0)/0.015

F = 0.15(11)/0.015

F = 1.65/0.015

F = 110N

Hence the net force is 110N

Describe the principle of conversation of energy:
exis [7]

Answer: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather it is converted from one form to another

Explanation:

The principle of conversation of energy explains how energy is conserved in nature by being converted from one form to another such that no energy is created nor destroyed.

Practical examples include:

- electrical pressing iron that converts electrical energy to heat energy

- solar panels that converts solar energy to electrical energy

- Car batteries that converts chemical energy to light energy etc
