Answer:

The Frequency of the wave is 0.2Hertz

The period is 2seconds

Explanation:

We are asked to find the frequency and period

Frequency is the number of oscillations completed in one seconds

If five waves were made from the same source in 10 seconds, hence;

Frequency = number of oscillation/Time

Frequency = 5/10

Frequency = 0.5Hertz

Next is to get the period

Period = 1/Frequency

Period = 1/0.5

Period = 2seconds

A measuring cylinder contains 60cm3 of oil at 0 celcius. When a piece of ice was roped into the cylinder it sank completely in o

mariarad [96]

Answer:

$S_i=\frac{9}{10} =0.9$

Explanation:

Given:

volume of oil in the cylinder, $V_o=60\ cm^2$

volume of the oil level when the ice is immersed, $V=90\ cm^3$

the volume level of oil when the ice melted, $V'=87\ cm^3$

Now, therefore the volume of ice:

$V_i=V-V_o$

$V_i=90-60$

$V_i=30\ cm^3$

Now the volume of water:

$V_w=V'-V_o$

$V_w=87-60$

$V_w=27\ cm^3$

As we know that the relative density is the ratio of density of the substance to the density of water.

So, the relative density of ice:

$S_i=\frac{\rho_i}{\rho_w}$ .....................(1)

as we know that density is given as:

$\rm \rho=\frac{mass}{volume}$

now eq. (1)

$S_i=\frac{m}{V_{i}}\div \frac{m}{V_w}$

where, m = mass of the water or the ice which remains constant in any phase

$S_i=\frac{V_w}{V_i}$

$S_i=\frac{27}{30}$

$S_i=\frac{9}{10} =0.9$

The weight of a 72.0 kg astronaut on the Moon, where g = 1.63 m/s2 is (5 points) Select one: a. 112 N b. 117 N c. 135 N d. 156 N

kipiarov [429]

Answer: The weight of a 72.0 kg astronaut on the Moon is 117.36 N.

Explanation:

Mass of the astronaut on the moon , m= 72 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on moon,g = 1.63 $m/s^2$

According to Newton second law of motion: F = ma

This will changes to = Weight = mass × g

$Weight=72 kg\times 1.63m/s^2=117.36 N$

The weight of a 72.0 kg astronaut on the Moon is 117.36 N.

A uniform rectangular plate is hanging vertically downward from a hinge that passes along its left edge. By blowing air at 11.0

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The airspeed must be 7.78 m/s for the rectangular plate kept at 30°.

Explanation:

By looking at the images below wee see that the airspeed on one side of the rectangular plate decreases the statical pressure over this side. Since over the downside, the pressure still bein the atmospheric pressure. This difference in pressure produces a lift force in the plate. The list force is the net force obtained between the difference of the forces that produce the pressure over the upside and the downside:

$F_{lift}=F_{up} - F_{dw}=0.5*p*V^2$

Where up and down relate to what movement the forces produce. And p and V are the respective air density and velocity.

When the plate is kept horizontal the lift force balance the moment due to the weight of the plate and considering that both forces act at the same point:

$F_{lift}=0.5*p*V^2=W$
