ANSWER
625 m/s
EXPLANATION
Given:
• The frequency of the sound wave, f = 250 Hz
,
• The wavelength, λ = 2.5 m
Find:
• The speed of the wave, v
The speed of a wave of wavelength λ and frequency f is given by,
Substitute the known values and solve,
Hence, the speed of the wave is 625 m/s.
Answer:
166 666 666.7 years
Explanation:
We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.
We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart
So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart
t = distance/speed
t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years
Answer:
Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4
Explanation:
A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :
We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"
It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,
R' = R/4
New centripetal acceleration will be,
So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.
Answer:
the refracted rays neither converge nor diverge. After refracting, the light rays are traveling parallel to each other and cannot produce an image.
