What is the period of a wave generated by anearthquake, if it has a wavelength of 500 meters and a
speed of 5,000 meters per second?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Period T = 0.1 second

Explanation:

Given that the

wavelength = 500 meters

speed V = 5000 meters per second

The wave speed is the ratio of wavelength to period of the wave. That is,

V = λ/T

Where

V = wave speed (m/s)

λ = wavelength (m).

T = period (s)

Using the formula above gives

5000 = 500/T

Make T the subject of formula

T = 500/5000

T = 0.1 s

What is one way that food is mechanically changed during the process of digestion

Hi There! :)

What is one way that food is mechanically changed during the process of digestion

Mechanical digestion begins in the mouth as the food is chewed. Chemical digestion involves breaking down the food into simpler nutrients that can be used by the cells. Chemical digestion begins in the mouth when food mixes with saliva. Saliva contains an enzyme (amylase) that begins the breakdown of carbohydrates.

A spring stores 3500 j of energy when it is stretched 1.5 meters. What is the spring constant of this spring? A) 4667 N/m B) 778 N/m C) 3938 N/m D) 3111 N/m

Answers

As we know that spring potential energy is given by the formula

U = (1)/(2)kx^2

now it is given to us that

U = 3500 J

x = 1.5 m

now we will plug in data in above equation

3500 = (1)/(2) k(1.5)^2

k = (2 * 3500)/(1.5^2)

now we will have

k = 3111 N/m

How are the relationships of elements in a group different from the relationships of elements in a period?

Answers

Group - similar reacting properties.
SIMILAR not identical
Period - ever increasing proton number
Answer 2: elements in the same period have the same amount of energy levels (in which electrons orbit around the atomic nucleus)elements in the same group have the same number of valance electrons (which are found in the outer most energy level)

John and Daniel are playing tug-of-war together. John is exerting 10 N of force. Daniel is exerting 12 N of force. What is their net force

Answers

We assume that they're pulling in opposite directions ...
that's how this game works.

Daniel completely cancels out John's whole 10N, and he
still has 2N left over.

The NET force on the rope is 2N in the direction of Daniel.
So the rope accelerates in Daniel's direction.

an unbalanced force moving everyone in Daniel and Maria's direction

A helicopter’s speed increases from 30 m/s to 40 m/s in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of this helicopter? m/s2

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration of this helicopter is 2 m/s2

Explanation:

In this question the velocity changes from 30 m/sto 40 m/s in 5 seconds.

Initial velocity u= 30m/s

Final velocity u= 40m/s

Time t= 5s

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. It is given by the equation

a= (v-u)/(t)

      =(40-30)/(5)

= (10)/(5)  

= 2 m/s2

All moving bodies aren’t necessarily accelerated. To be identified as accelerating, a body should have its velocity changing. Thus a body in uniform motion is not accelerating since its velocity is constant.
