Answer:

v = 102 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of a wave, f = 60 Hz

Wavelength = 1.7 m

We need to find the speed of this wave. The formula for the speed of a wave is given by

$v=f\lambda$

Substitute all the values,

$v=60\times 1.7\\\\v=102\ m/s$

So, the speed of the wave is equal to 102 m/s.

raketka [301]

Answer:s=0.68 m

Explanation:

Given

Inclination $\theta =11.1^{\circ}$

Speed of block(u)=1.6 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic Friction $\mu _k=0.39$

deceleration provided by friction=g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta [/tex]

Using $v^2-u^2=2as$

Final velocity v=0

$0-1.6^2=2(g\sin \theta -\mu _kg\cos \theta )s$

$s=\frac{-1.6^2}{2\cdot (9.8\sin 11.1-0.39\times 9.8\times \cos 11.1)}$

s=0.68 m

A 0.5 kg mass on a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion with a total mechanical energy of 12 J. If the oscillation amplitude

Darya [45]

Answer:

The frequency of the oscillation is 2.45 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 0.5 kg

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 12 J

Determine the spring constant, k as follows;

E = ¹/₂kA²

kA² = 2E

k = (2E) / (A²)

k = (2 x 12) / (0.45²)

k = 118.519 N/m

Determine the angular frequency, ω;

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{118.519}{0.5} } \\\\\omega = 15.396 \ rad/s$

Determine the frequency of the oscillation;

ω = 2πf

f = (ω) / (2π)

f = (15.396) / (2π)

f = 2.45 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the oscillation is 2.45 Hz.

On a straight road, a car speeds up at a constant rate from rest to 20 m/s over a 5 second interval and a truck slows at a const

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the car speeds up at a constant rate, we can use the kinematic equation for distance (assuming that the initial position is x=0, and choosing t₀ =0), as follows:

$x_{fc} = v_{o}*t + \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} (1)$

Since the car starts from rest, v₀ =0.
We know the value of t = 5 sec., but we need to find the value of a.
Applying the definition of acceleration, as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time, and remembering that v₀ = 0 and t₀ =0, we can solve for a, as follows:

$a_{c} =\frac{v_{fc}}{t} = \frac{20m/s}{5s} = 4 m/s2 (2)$

Replacing a and t in (1):

$x_{fc} = v_{o}*t + \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} = \frac{1}{2}* 4 m/s2*(5s)^{2} = 50.0 m. (3)$

Now, if the truck slows down at a constant rate also, we can use (1) again, noting that v₀ is not equal to zero anymore.
Since we have the values of vf (it's zero because the truck stops), v₀, and t, we can find the new value of a, as follows:

$a_{t} =\frac{-v_{to}}{t} = \frac{-20m/s}{10s} = -2 m/s2 (4)$

Replacing v₀, at and t in (1), we have:

$x_{ft} = 20m/s*10.0s + \frac{1}{2}*(-2 m/s2)*(10.0s)^{2} = 200m -100m = 100.0m (5)$

Therefore, as the truck travels twice as far as the car, the right answer is a).
