Wavelength can be calculated using the following formula: wavelength = wave velocity/frequency. Wavelength usually is expressed in units of meters.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Tangential velocity = 10.9 m/S

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Force = 20 N

Time = 1.2 S

Length = 16.5 cm

Radius = 33.0 cm

Moment of inertia = 1200 kg.cm^2 = 1200 × 10^(-4) kg.m^2

= 1200 × 10^(-2) m^2

Revolution of the pedal ÷ revolution of wheel = 1

Torque on the pedal = Force × Length

= 20 × 16.5 10^(-2)

= 3.30 N m

So, Angular acceleration = Torque ÷ Moment of inertia

= 3.30 ÷ 12 × 10^(-2)

= 27.50 rad ÷ S^2

Since wheel started rotating from rest, so initial angular velocity = 0 rad/S

Now, Angular velocity = Initial angular velocity + Angular Acceleration × Time

= 0 + 27.50 × 1.2

= 33 rad/S

Hence, Tangential velocity = Angular velocity × Radius

= 33 × 33 × 10^(-2)

= 10.9 m/S

The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of −5.2
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The car strikes the tree with a final speed of 4.165 m/s

The acceleration need to be of -5.19 m/seg2 to avoid collision by 0.5m

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the initial speed V_{0}

x=V_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *a*(t^{2} )\\62.5m=V_{0} *4.15s+\frac{1}{2} *-5.25\frac{m}{s^{2} } *(4.15^{2} )\\V_{0}=25.953\frac{m}{s}

Once we have the initial speed, we can isolate the final speed from following equation:

V_{f} =V_{0} +a*t  V_{f}= 4.165 \frac{m}{s}  

Then we can calculate the aceleration where the car stops 0.5 m before striking the tree.

To do that, we replace 62 m in the first formula, as follows:

x=V_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *a*(t^{2} )\\62m=25.953\frac{m}{s}*4.15s+\frac{1}{2} *-a\frac{m}{s^{2} } *(4.15^{2} )\\a=-5.19\frac{m}{s^{2} }

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Wave W is a sound wave, Waves X and Y are light waves, and it is impossible to tell what kind of wave Wave Z is.

Explanation:

W      travels fastest through metal

X       travels fastest through air,

Y       travels more slowly through water than air    

Z       travels more slowly at cool temperatures

W appears to be sound wave  as sound travels fastest through metal .

X appears to be light wave as light travels fastest in air .

Y also appears to be light wave as  speed of light is reduced when it passes from air to water .

Z  It is impossible to tell anything about the nature of Z wave .
