3 0

For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.

The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.

If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.

The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.

And any change of velocity is called acceleration.

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 13 km/s and a frequency of 14 Hz?
Galina-37 [17]
Wavelength = velocity/frequency

wavelength = v/f
v= 13km/s = change this to m/s = 13000m/s
f= 14Hz

wavelength = 13000m/s÷14Hz =928.7 m

A heat pump absorbs heat from the atmosphere at a rate of 30 kW. If work is being done to run this heat pump at a rate of 7.7 kW
Volgvan

Answer:

Option D 3.9

Explanation:

First, you need to use the correct equation which is the following:

COP = Q/W

Where:

Q = heat absorbed

W = work done by the pump

COP = coefficient of perfomance

We have all the data, so, all you need to do is replace in the above expression and you shoould get the correct result:

COP = 30 / 7.7

COP = 3.896

This result you can round it to 3.9. option D.

The redshift of a star means that _____.
Gelneren [198K]
The correct answer is D. the star is getting farther away.

When the light has red-shifted, it shows that everything is moving away from a certain point. This is known as the Doppler effect and proves the Big Bang (which would be the center point that everything is moving away from). Just as a 'for your information', blue shift is when the star is moving towards us.

Hope I helped :)
