Answer:

Explanation:

Wavelength is one way of measuring the size of waves. ... The wavelength of a transverse wave can be measured as the distance between two adjacent crests. The wavelength of a longitudinal wave can be measured as the distance between two adjacent compressions.Feb 19, 2021

Define “Law of Conservation of Energy”
Tems11 [23]

The law of conservation of energy is a physical law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed but may be changed from one form to another. Another way of stating this law of chemistry is to say the total energy of an isolated system remains constant or is conserved within a given frame of reference.

In classical mechanics, conservation of mass and conversation of energy are considered to be two separate laws. However, in special relativity, matter may be converted into energy and vice versa, according to the famous equation E = mc2. Thus, it's more appropriate to say mass-energy is conserved.

Example of Conservation of Energy

If a stick of dynamite explodes, for example, the chemical energy contained within the dynamite changes into kinetic energy, heat, and light. If all this energy is added together, it will equal the starting chemical energy value.

Why are you unable to observe the wavelike motion of a soccer ball as it is kicked toward a goal?
aalyn [17]
We all know that a soccer ball is composed of matter, and matter is made up of particles of atoms such as protons and electrons, and matter of  soccer ball can also be made up of waves of electrons and protons. This is now in a realm of quantum mechanics were everything defies our logic and common sense. Atoms can be defined as particle and also as a wave, they called it particle wave duality, it means atoms behave as wave and a particle. This is the trickiest part, Imagine that you are not observing the flight of the soccer ball, it actually behave as a wave as it moves in its trajectory, but at the moment that you are going to observe the flight of the soccer ball, it will behave as a particle as you see on its trajectory, becoming a ball or a particle, and that is the weird of part of quantum mechanics, the world of subatomic particles defies all common sense or logic. Remember that we will never see the wave like motion of any particle, because nature always plays a trick on our mind or senses.

A curve ball is a type of pitch in which the baseball spins on its axis as it heads for home plate. if a curve ball is thrown at
lesya692 [45]

The ball travels 18.3 m at a speed of 35.6 m/s.
How long does the trip take ?
time = (distance)/(speed) = (18.3 m) / (35.6 m/s) = 0.514 second

All during the trip, the ball is spinning at the rate of 29 rev/second.

Spinning at 29 rev/s for 0.514 sec, it completes  14.91 revolutions,
before stopping with a THUNK in the pocket of the catcher's mitt.
