What is the frequency of a sound wave directly related to?

1 answer:

8 0

The frequency of a sound wave is the number of cycles of a sound wave per second or Hertz (Hz). The frequency can be calculated by dividing wavelength by time (Figure 1.3). A small wavelength will yield a higher frequency, whereas a larger wavelength will yield a smaller frequency.

<span>The next step of the scientific method is to analyze the results and draw conclusions. After that step, if the results agree with the hypothesis, then the results should be communicated. If the results do not support the original hypothesis, then the biologist must go back to the beginning and reformulate their hypothesis based on the results of the experiment.</span>

A player kicks a soccer ball from ground level and sends it flying at an angle of 30 degrees at a speed of 26 m/s. What is the m

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

8.6 m

Explanation:

The motion of a soccer ball is a motion of a projectile, with a uniform motion along the horizontal (x-) direction and an accelerated motion along the vertical (y-) direction, with constant acceleration $a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ towards the ground (we take upward as positive direction, so acceleration is negative).

The initial velocity along the vertical direction is

$v_{y0} = v_0 sin \theta = (26 m/s)(sin 30^{\circ})=13 m/s$

Now we can consider the motion along the vertical direction only. the vertical velocity at time t is given by:

$v_y(t)=v_{y0} +at$

At the point of maximum height, $v_y(t)=0$ , so we can find the time t at which the ball reaches the maximum height:

$0=v_{y0}+at\\t=-\frac{v_{y0}}{a}=-\frac{13 m/s}{-9.8 m/s^2}=1.33 s$

And now we can use the equation of motion along the y-axis to find the vertical position of the ball at t=1.33 s, which corresponds to the maximum height of the ball:

$y(t)=v_{y0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^2=(13 m/s)(1.33 s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8 m/s^2)(1.33 s)^2=8.6 m$
