1) 2.5 wavelengths

2) 0.208 m

3) 1731 Hz

Explanation:

Standing waves are waves that do not propagate, but instead the particles of the medium just oscillate around a fixed position. Examples of standing waves are the waves produced on a string with fixed ends.

The points of a standing wave in which the amplitude of the oscillation is always zero are called nodes.

The two fixed ends of the string are two nodes. In this problem, we have a total of 6 nodes along the string: this means that there are 4 additional nodes apart from the two ends of the string.

Therefore, this also means that the string oscillate in 5 different segments.

One wavelength is equal to 2 segments of the oscillation: therefore, since here there are 5 segments, this means that the number of wavelengths that we have in this string is

$n=\frac{5}{2}=2.5$

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crests (or throughs) of the wave.

The wavelength of a standing wave can be also measured as the distance between the nth-node and the (n+2)-th node: so, basically, the wavelength in a standing wave is twice the distance between two nodes:

$\lambda = 2 d$

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

d is the distance between two nodes

Here the length of the string is

L = 0.520 m

And since it oscillates in 5 segments, the distance between two nodes is

$d=\frac{L}{5}=\frac{0.520}{5}=0.104 m$

And therefore, the wavelength is

$\lambda=2d=2(0.104)=0.208 m$

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations of the wave per second.

The frequency of a wave is related to its speed and wavelength by the wave equation:

$v=f\lambda$

where

v is the speed

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

In this problem:

v = 360 m/s is the speed of the wave

$\lambda=0.208 m$ is the wavelength

Therefore, the frequency is

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{360}{0.208}=1731 Hz$

This is what i found on google “kinetic energy. energy is transferred from one object to another when a reaction takes place. energy comes in many forms and can be transferred from one object to another as heat, light, or motion, to name a few. this energy would be in the form of motion, with the person lifting the blue ball to a higher level.” i hope this you

3. a worker pushes a 30.5 kg polished stone along a polished table with a force on bonin a straight line for 5.20 s after starting from rest. there is no friction between thestone and the table. at the end of the table. the stone is hooked to a cable with a lengthof 62.0 cm to rotate it to a rough table to store until they can be picked up. the roughtable has a coefficient of static friction 0.702 with the polished stone. remember that 8= 9.80 m/s2a) what is the speed of the stone when it is hooked to the cable? b) what is the tension in the cable while the stone is rotating? (there is still nofriction)c) how much force is needed to make the stone begin sliding from rest on therough table? ius = 0.70262.0 cm30.5 kg20.5 kg6= 0
