The frequency of the George Washington Bridge is 2.05 Hz. What is its period?

Physics

Zina [86]2 years ago

6 0

Answer: 0.5 seconds

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency of the George Washington Bridge F = 2.05 Hz

Period T = ?

Recall that frequency is the number of cycles a wave can complete in one second. Hence, frequency is the inverse of period.

i.e F = 1/T

2.05Hz = 1/T

T = 1/2.05Hz

T = 0.488 seconds (Rounded to the nearest tenth as 0.5seconds)

Thus, the period of the George Washington Bridge is 0.5 seconds

A jet makes a landing traveling due east with a speed of 120 m/s .

vesna_86 [32]

Average acceleration over a time interval lasting $\Delta t$ is

$a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where $\Delta v$ is the difference in the jet's final and initial velocities. It's coming to a rest, so

$a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{0-120\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}{13.5\,\rm s}=-8.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

so the average acceleration has magnitude 8.9 m/s^2 and is pointing West (the direction opposite the jet's movement, which should make sense because the jet is slowing down).

Bill and amy want to ride their bikes to school which is 14.4 kilometers away. It takes Amy 49 minutes to get to school and bill

Drupady [299]

3.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance to school = 14.4km

Time taken by Amy = 49min

Time taken by bill = 20min after Amy = 20+49 = 69min

Unknown parameters:

How much faster is Amy's average speed = ?

Solution:

Average speed is the rate of change of total distance with total time taken.

Average speed = $\frac{total distance }{total time taken}$

convert units to meters and seconds

1000m = 1km

60s = 1min

Distance to school = 14.4 x 1000 = 14400m

Time taken by Amy = 49 x 60 = 2940s

Time taken by Bill = 69 x 60 = 4140s

Average speed of Amy = $\frac{14400}{2940}$ = 4.9m/s

Average speed of Bill = $\frac{4140}{2940}$ = 1.4m/s

Differences in speed = 4.9 - 1.5 = 3.4m/s

Amy was 3.4m/s faster than Bill

A 2.03 kg book is placed on a flat desk. Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the book and the desk is 0.602 and t

diamong [38]

Answer:

11.98 N

Explanation:

Normal force = mg = 2.03 * 9.81

coeff of static friction must be overcome for the book to begin moving

.602 = F / (2.03 * 9.81) = 11.98 N

How much heat is needed to vaporize 10.00 grams of water at 100.0°C? The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2,259 J/g

Nata [24]

Answer:

Heat of vaporization will be 22.59 j

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 10 gram

And heat of vaporization L = 2.259 J/gram

We have to find the heat required to vaporize 10 gram mass

We know that heat of vaporization is given by $Q=mL$ , here m is mass and L is latent heat of vaporization.

So heat of vaporization Q will be = 10×2.259 = 22.59 J
