A bat emits a sound wave with a frequency of 25.0 kHz and a wavelength of 0.0136 metres. Calculate the speed of this sound wave.

In this question you are given frequency and wavelength of the wave and you are asked for the speed. You need to use the formula on you sheet that uses these three properties : v = f x λ, where v is the s...

If a ball of mass 5kg is dropped from rest, how far will it travel in the 3 seconds after it reaches 150m from it's original position? Write down the change in it's total energy after the 3 seconds. (ignoring air resistance)

  1. Calculate the speed the ball is travelling at when it reaches 150m using v= u+ 2ax. 2) Calculate the distance travelled in 3 seconds by an object with a speed of that found...

how do i calculate acceleration?

it is the change in speed over time. So  a = v-u / t

Bismuth-208, which has an atomic mass of 208u and 83 protons in the nucleus, decays through the emission of 2 alpha particles and a beta-positive particle. What isotope results from this decay?

20883Bi ==> xyZ + 42a + 42a + 01B x = 208 - 8 = 200 y = 83 - 5 = 78 Proton number = 78 ther...

Using standard formulae, derive an expression for the final speed of a falling object in terms of its change in height. Assume zero air resistance or other resistive forces.

Ek = (1/2)mv2

Ep = mg(dh)

Set these equal to each other, because of conservation of energy:

(1/2)mv2 = mg(dh)

Cancel the mass:

<...
