What is the wavelength of a wave travelling at 20ms^-1 with a time period of 0.2s

v = f x lambdatherefore lamba = v/ff=1/Tf = 1/0.2 = 5Hzlambda = 20/5 = 4m

A boy kicks a ball and it is accelerated uniformly from rest so that after 10 seconds it has achieved a speed of 15m/s. Find the ball's acceleration.

First, clearly set out the information we know: U=0m/s, V=15m/s, T=10s, and identify the value we are wanting to find out: A=? Check that all of these value's units are in meters and seconds only. Recall ...

Can you explain what the flux of a light source is?

The word 'flux' can be used in many different contexts, but in general it refers to the amount of 'stuff' passing through a unit area of space per unit time. In the case of light sources, we can measur...

A musical instrument produces a sound wave with a frequency of 1000 Hz. The sound wave has a wavelength of 0.34 m in air. Calculate the speed of the sound wave in air.

From the equation for speed: Speed = frequency * wavelength 
=> v = 1000 * 0.34 = 340 metres per second

Describe the model now used for the structure of an atom. Refer to the constituent particles including their relative masses and charges.

In an atom, the mass is concentrated in the nucleus which is at the centre of the atom. The nucleus is composed of neutrons and protons, each with a relative mass of 1. By comparison, the third component ...
