Answer:

2 seconds

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is related to its wavelength and speed by the equation

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where

f is the frequency

v is the speed of the wave

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem,

v = 2 m/s

$\lambda=8 m$

So the frequency is

$f=\frac{2}{8}=0.25 Hz$

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency, so for this wave:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.25}=4 s$

This means that the wave takes 4 seconds to complete one full cycle.

Therefore, the time taken for the wave to go from a point with displacement +A to a point with displacement -A is half the period, therefore for this wave:

$t=\frac{T}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2 s$

PLEASE ANSWER-Why are loose electrons needed for heat conduction?

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Why do metals conduct heat so well? The electrons in metal are delocalised electrons and are free moving electrons so when they gain energy (heat) they vibrate more quickly and can move around, this means that they can pass on the energy more quickly.

15) Very cold climates occur at Earth's North and South Poles because the polar regions

Gwar [14]

Because the polar regions receive low-angle insolation.

Insolation is the amount of solar radiation received by a given area. The Sun is always low on the horizon. The low Sun angle makes the beam of solar radiation to travel a longer distance from upper troposphere to reach earth's surface as compared to when it is directly overhead. In this case, the radiations are scattered and reflected more by the atmosphere and spread over a larger area. Thus, the intensity of solar radiation is very less at polar regions than near the equatorial region. This is the reason of very cold climates at polar regions.

An 84.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.76 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 11 m, and then

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

t=17.838s

Explanation:

The displacement is divided in two sections, the first is a section with constant acceleration, and the second one with constant velocity. Let's consider the first:

The acceleration is, by definition:

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}=1.76$

So, the velocity can be obtained by integrating this expression:

$v=1.76t$

The velocity is, by definition: $v=\frac{dx}{dt}$ , so

$dx=1.76tdt\\x=1.76\frac{t^{2}}{2}$ .

Do x=11 in order to find the time spent.

$11=1.76\frac{t^2}{2}\\ t^2=\frac{2*11}{76} \\t=\sqrt{12.5}=3.5355s$

At this time the velocity is: $v=1.76t=1.76*3.5355s=6.2225\frac{m}{s}$

This velocity remains constant in the section 2, so for that section the movement equation is:

$x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}$

The left distance is 89 meters, and the velocity is $6.2225\frac{m}{s}$ , so:

$t=\frac{89}{6.2225}=14.303s$

So, the total time is 14.303+3.5355s=17.838s

Which of the following is NOT a property of long-period comets that suggests that they originate from the Oort cloud?

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

b. They orbit around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the ecliptic plane.

Explanation:

All the objects of the solar system revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. The comet coming from the Oort's cloud will also follow the same kind of orbit. That is why it can't be a property to distinguish an Oort's cloud comet.

All other properties are correct to identify an Oort's cloud comet as the Oort's cloud is a considered a spherical cloud just outside the Solar system.
