Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s

Answer:

Horizontal component: F_x = 58\ N

Vertical component: F_y = 33.5\ N

Explanation:

To find the horizontal and vertical components of the force, we just need to multiply the magnitude of the force by the cosine and sine of the angle with the horizontal, respectively.

Therefore, for the horizontal component, we have:

F_x = F * cos(angle)

F_x = 67 * cos(30)

F_x = 58\ N

For the vertical component, we have:

F_y = F * sin(angle)

F_y = 67 * sin(30)

F_y = 33.5\ N

So the horizontal component of the tension force is 58 N and the vertical component is 33.5 N.

A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k
rewona [7]

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

                             KE  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                     = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

                                     =    (1 kg)  (2.25 m²/s²)

                                     =        2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

                     Energy is never created or destroyed. 
                     If it seems that some energy disappeared,
                     it actually had to go somewhere.
                     And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
                     it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision.  The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.

Two thin lenses with a focal length of magnitude 12.0cm, the first diverging and the second converging, are located 9.00cm apart
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Explanation:

b ) First is concave lens with focal length f₁ = - 12 cm .

object distance u = - 20 cm .

Lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / v + 1 / 20 = -1 / 12

1 / v =  - 1 / 20  -1 / 12

= - .05 - .08333

= - .13333

v = - 1 / .13333

= - 7.5 cm

first image is formed before the first lens on the side of object.

This will become object for second lens

distance from second lens = 7.5 + 9 = 16.5 cm

c )

For second lens

object distance u = - 16.5 cm

focal length f₂ = + 12 cm ( lens is convex )

image distance = v

lens formula ,

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f₂

1 / v + 1 / 16.5 = 1 / 12

1 / v =   1 / 12 -  1 / 16.5

= .08333- .0606

= .02273

v = 1 /  .02273

= 44 cm ( approx )

It will be formed on the other side of convex lens

distance from first lens

= 44 + 9 = 53 cm .

magnification by first lens = v / u

= -7.5 / -20 = .375 .

magnification by second lens = v / u

= 44 / - 16.5

= - 2.67

d )

total magnification

= .375 x - 2.67

= - 1.00125

height of final image

= 2.50 mm x 1.00125

= 2.503mm

e )

The final image will be inverted with respect to object  because total magnification is negative .
