The speed of the wave is determined as 18 m/s.

option D is the correct answer.

The speed of the wave is the rate of change of wave's displacement with time.

The speed of the wave is calculated by applying the formula relating speed, wavelength and frequency of the wave as shown below.

v = fλ

where;

The frequency of the wave is calculated as follows;

f = 1 / T

where;

The period of a wave is the time taken for the wave to complete one cycle.

In the picture given, 3 cycles of the wave = 0.5 s

1 cycle of the wave = ?

= 0.5 s / 3

= 0.16667 s

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 0.16667

f = 6 Hz

The speed of the wave is calculated as follows;

v = fλ

v = 6 Hz  x  3 m

v = 18 m/s

Answer:

5 m

Explanation:

Displacement is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the end point.  Student ends up 4m north and 3m west from where he started. Use pythagorean theorem to solve for displacement (d).  

d² = 3² + 4² = 25

d = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] = 5 m

Explanation:

The velocity of vehicles after the collision is 15.82m/sec if car mass is 1.4 × 10³kg and truck mass is 2×10³kg

We know that we need to conserve the momentum of watermelon in a certain direction. Also,we know that initial momentum of watermelon is zero,it means that according to law of conservation of momentum final momentum should be zero.

We know that momentum =mass × velocity

So,initial momentum of car is =1.4 × 10³kg × 37km/hr

Similarly,,initial momentum of truck=2×10³kg × 35km/hr

Now,it is given that both vehicles lock together,so total mass of both vehicles is =1.4 × 10³kg +  2×10³kg=3.4 ×10³kg

Assume final velocity of both vehicle is v

So,following the law of conservation,we get

=>1.4 × 10³kg × 37 + 2×10³kg × 35 = 3.4 ×10³ ×v

=>51.8 ×10³ + 2×10³=3.4×10³ ×v

=>53.8 ×10³ kg-m/sec = 3.4×10³ ×v

=>v = 53.8/3.4

=>v=15.82m/sec

Hence,final velocity of both vehicle after collision is 15.82m/sec.

Three helium-4 nuclei (alpha particles) are turned into carbon by a series of nuclear fusion processes known as the triple-alpha process.

What results from the triple-alpha procedure as the finished product?

The triple-alpha process and the alpha process are two classes of nuclear fusion reactions that stars use to change helium into heavier elements. The alpha process is also referred to as the alpha ladder. [1] Only helium is used in the triple-alpha process, which also yields carbon.

Which statement concerning alpha particles in an atom is accurate?

Two protons and two neutrons make up alpha particles, which are identical to helium nuclei and have a positive charge.

The volume of the toy is 80 ml.

To find the volume of the plastic toy, Maher can use the principle of buoyancy. When an object is placed in a fluid, it will displace an amount of fluid equal to its own volume. The volume of the displaced fluid can be measured and used to calculate the volume of the object.

In this case, Maher has placed the toy in a graduated cylinder filled with water, and he has observed that the water level increased from 70 ml to 150 ml. This means that the toy displaced 150 - 70 = 80 ml of water.

The volume of the toy is equal to the volume of the displaced water, so the toy's volume is 80 ml. This is the volume of the toy when it is completely submerged in water.

It's important to note that the volume of an object can change depending on its temperature, pressure, and other factors. To get an accurate measurement of the volume of the toy, Maher should make sure to measure the volume of the displaced water carefully and under controlled conditions.

Answer:

Volume of the toy: [tex]80\; {\rm mL}[/tex].

Average density of the toy: [tex]2\; {\rm g\cdot mL^{-1}}[/tex] (or equivalently, [tex]2\; {\rm g \cdot cm^{-3}}[/tex].)

Explanation:

The graduated cylinder initially measures the volume of water in this cylinder:

[tex]V(\text{water}) = 70\; {\rm mL}[/tex].

Assume that the toy is submerged in the water. The graduated cylinder would then measure the volume of the water and the toy, combined:

[tex]V(\text{water}) + V(\text{toy}) = 150\; {\rm mL}[/tex].

Rearrange to find the volume of the toy:

[tex]\begin{aligned}V(\text{toy}) &= 150\; {\rm mL} - V(\text{water}) \\ &= 150\; {\rm mL} - 70\; {\rm mL} \\ &= 80\; {\rm mL}\end{aligned}[/tex].

To find the average density of this toy, divide mass by volume:

[tex]\begin{aligned}(\text{average density}) &= \frac{(\text{mass})}{(\text{volume})} \\ &= \frac{160\; {\rm g}}{80\; {\rm mL}} \\ &= 2\; {\rm g\cdot mL^{-1}}\end{aligned}[/tex].

The required values are a) T = 2.3 seconds, b)  f = 0.434 Hz, c) ω = 2.7 rd/s.

Simple harmonic motion, a particular kind of periodic motion in which a particle repeatedly oscillates around a mean location, In U-tube oscillating liquid column motion is hence simple harmonic.

Given,

Time = 11.5 seconds to five complete vibrations.

a) Time period is time taken to complete one vibration,

So T = 11.5/5 = 2.3 seconds

b) Frequency(f) = 1/T

f = 1/2.3 = 0.434 second inverse.

c) By using formula of angular frequency ω = 2π/T

ω = 2π/2.3 = 2.7 hz

Thus, final values are a) T = 2.3 seconds, b)  f = 0.434 second inverse, c) ω = 2.7 rd/s.

Most photons that leave the sun's surface have a surface temperature of 6,000 K, which corresponds to the visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuous range of wavelengths and frequencies that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays. The wavelengths and frequencies of these different types of electromagnetic radiation are all different and correspond to different regions of the spectrum.

The visible light region of the electromagnetic spectrum is the portion of the spectrum that can be seen by the human eye. It ranges from about 400 nanometers (nm) to about 700 nm in wavelength, and corresponds to frequencies of about 7.5 x 10^14 Hz to about 4.3 x 10^14 Hz. Photons with wavelengths and frequencies in this range have enough energy to excite the photoreceptors in the human eye, allowing us to see them.

The star Sirius is indeed brighter but our Sun appears to be brighter because it is closer to us.

The intrinsic luminosity of Sirius is exactly 25.4 times more than the sun but if we compare the distances of these stars, Sirius is 8.6 light years away from us and the Sun is just 8 light minutes away from us. This marks the obvious reason why our Sun appears more bright.

Even mathematically, it can be justified as the apparent brightness of any luminous object depends on the inverse square of the distance of that luminous object. Therefore the sun's light energy dominates our sky and we can't see any traces of Sirius from the earth.
