Wavelength is the distance between 2 adjacent points in a wave

we can use the following equation to find the wavelength of a sound wave

wavelength = speed / frequency

frequency is the number of waves passing a point in 1 second

substituting the values in the equation

wavelength = 343 m/s / 686 Hz

wavelength = 0.5 m

wavelength of the wave is 0.5 m

An object is placed at zero zero on a Number line. It moves three units to the right, then four units to the left, and then 60 u

STatiana [176]

Answer:

the displacement of the object is 5 units

Explanation:

The computation of the displacement of the object is shown below:

= Move to the right + move to the right - move to the left

= 6 units + 3 units - 4 units

= 9 units - 4 units

= 5 units

Hence, the displacement of the object is 5 units

The luxury liner Queen Elizabeth 2 has a diesel-electric powerplant with a maximum power of 90 MW at a cruising speed of 31.5 kn

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

5558643.69 N

Explanation:

F = Force

v = Velocity = 31.5 knots

Converting to m/s

$1\ knot=0.514\ m/s$

$31.5\ knot=31.5\times 0.514\ m/s=16.191\ m/s$

Power is given by

$P=Fv\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{P}{v}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{90\times 10^6}{16.191}\\\Rightarrow F=5558643.69\ N$

The forward force is exerted on the ship at this highest attainable speed is 5558643.69 N
