Answer:

d = 120 m

Explanation:

Data:

Speed (s) = 15 m/s
Time (t) = 8 s
Distance (d) = ?

Use the formula:

d = s * t

Replace with the data, and solve:

d = 15 m/s * 8 s
d = 120 m

The distance is 120 meters.

1). The equation is: (speed) = (frequency) x (wavelength)

Speed = (256 Hz) x (1.3 m) = 332.8 meters per second

2). If the instrument is played louder, the amplitude of the waves increases.
On the oscilloscope, they would appear larger from top to bottom, but the
horizontal size of each wave doesn't change.

If the instrument is played at a higher pitch, then the waves become shorter,
because 'pitch' is directly related to the frequency of the waves, and higher
pitch means higher frequency and more waves in any period of time.

If the instrument plays louder and at higher pitch, the waves on the scope
become taller and there are more of them across the screen.

3). The equation is: Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
(Notice that this is exactly the same as the equation up above in question #1,
only with each side of that one divided by 'wavelength'.)

Frequency = 300,000,000 meters per second / 1,500 meters = 200,000 per second.

That's ' 200 k Hz ' .

Note:
I didn't think anybody broadcasts at 200 kHz, so I looked up BBC Radio 4
on-line, and I was surprised. They broadcast on several different frequencies,
and one of them is 198 kHz !

Acar accelerates from 4 meters/second to 16 meters/second in 4 seconds. The car's acceleration is

s2008m [1.1K]

To understand this question, you need to understand the concept of acceleration first. Have you ever been in a car and noticed that it was getting faster and faster? That "speeding up" of the car is known as acceleration! Acceleration is essentially the rate at which you speed up.

Okay, so we now know what acceleration is. What are its units? The unit of acceleration is the change in velocity over a period of time: $\frac{∆v}{t}$

If you haven't learned about velocity yet, just think about it as speed for now. The funny-looking triangle, ∆, is a symbol for "the change of." For example, if I started walking at 3 $\frac{feet}{second}$ then sped up to 5 $\frac{feet}{second}$ , then the change in my speed would be 2 $\frac{feet}{second}$ , because I started walking 2 $\frac{feet}{second}$ faster!

Okay, enough with all the explanations. Hopefully, you understand the units now. Let's take a look at the question. A car accelerates from 4 $\frac{meters}{second}$ to 16 $\frac{meters}{second}$ in 4 seconds. What would the acceleration be? Let's set up an equation:

a = $\frac{∆v}{t}$

a is the acceleration, ∆v is the change in velocity, and t is the time elapsed.

Now, let's plug in our values! ∆v is the change in velocity, and to find that we simply have to subtract 16 $\frac{meters}{second}$ by 4 $\frac{meters}{second}$ . That makes sense, right? Back to the equation.

a = $\frac{∆v}{t}$
a = $\frac{16-4}{4}$

(16 - 4 is the change in velocity, and 4 is the number of seconds the car was accelerating)

a = $\frac{12}{4}$

a = 3 ( $\frac{meters}{second^{2}}$ )

We have our answer! The car's acceleration is 3 meters per second^{2}.

(You might be thinking: Wait. Meters per second squared? The reason for that is because acceleration is the rate at which the speed increases! That makes the unit $\frac{\frac{meters}{second}}{second}$ , which can be simplified down to $\frac{meters}{second^{2} }$ )

Let me know if you need clarification on anything I explained here!
