Answer:

1.67m

5m/s

Explanation:

Wavelength of the wave = 3m

Speed of the wave = 5m/s

The distance between crest and the adjacent trough of water waves is known as the wavelength of a wave.

To find the frequency ;

V = f∧

V is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

Insert the parameters and find the frequency;

f = V/ ∧ = 5 / 3 = 1.67Hz

The rate at which the wave passed a given point is the speed of the wave and it is 5m/s

Calculate how much force is required to give a 0.15-kg baseball an acceleration of 12m/s2

Nutka1998 [239]

<u>F = M A </u> (Newton's #2)

Force = (0.15 kg) (12 m/s²)

Force = (0.15 · 12) (kg·m/s²)

<em>Force = 1.8 Newtons</em>

The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s. How far does light travel in one day? Remember that you should first convert the day into s

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

$2.59\times 10^{13}\ m$

Explanation:

The speed of light is 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by it in one day.

1 day = 24 hours

1 day = 24 × 3600 seconds

= 86400 s

Now, using the formula of speed to find the distance covered as follows :

$d=v\times t$

Putting all the values, we get :

$d=3\times 10^8\ m/s\times 86400\ s\\\\d=2.59\times 10^{13}\ m$

Hence, light will cover $2.59\times 10^{13}\ m$ of distance in one day.
