A wave has an amplitude of .25m, a wavelength of .68m and a frequency of 3.2 hz. Find it's velocity? To solve I just used v=3.2 * .68=2.176m/s because amplitude doesn't factor into velocity. Is this right?thanks.

Answer 1

You are right.

Answer 2

A force of 40 N is applied at an angle of 30oabove the horizon to a 5 kg block that is at rest on a rough horizontal surface. After the block starts to move with an acceleration of 3 m/s2, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface?

How you solve a friction question without knowing the coefficient and vice versa? Please help.

Answer 3

Thanks, drwls!
