A fisherman notices that there are 15 waves passing under the dock each minute. what is the frequency of the water waves in hertz?
0.25
How many miles is it from Chicago to Vermont?
957 miles is the distance between the the two areas. It cover whole ohio , newyork while passing above the area.
Is there any readable level of friction between two magnets passing by each other?
If the magnets are touching, then yes there is, if they are at a distance then the only friction they would have is from the air between them.
What is girth and diameter?
girth: (noun) the distance around something, especially a rounded form; circumference It is often applied to trees, columns, and sometimes people. A diameter is the widest distance between sides of a circle or cylinder, passing directly through the center.
What is the characteristics of diameter?
The length of the space between two sides of a circle passing through the radius, Alternatively it is twice the length of the radius. This is the distance from the centre of the circle to any point on the circumference.
Why does the solar eclipse block the sun?
The Moon blocks the sun by passing directly between the earth and the Sun causing a solar eclipse. It is just the right size at its distance to cover the sun.
Why would ships at sea have a minumun passing distance between them?
Ships make a wake that draws them closer to each other, so if they are sailing close to each other they will eventually collide.
What is the difference between a circle's diameter and circumference?
The diameter of a circle is the length of a line passing through the center of a circle that connects two points on the circumference. The circumference is the distance around the edge of a circle.
Is a metric a meter?
A meter is a fractional part of the circumference of the earth. Historically that is almost correct. It was the distance between marks on a metal bar which represented 1/10,000,000 (one ten millionth) of the distance between the equator and the north pole on the meridian passing through Paris. It is now defined as the distance travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. See the link below for more information.
What is the relationship wavelength and frequency?
Frequency is the number of wavelenghts passing though a given point in one second. Wavelength is the distance between two crest or troughs. The relationship between wavelenght and frequency is given by f = 1/wavelength. where f = frequency
What is the converse of a straight-line distance between two points?
There is not a converse, as such, but there are other metrics that may be applicable in different circumstances. One such is the Manhattan distance (deeloped by Minkovsky) which uses the grid pattern of roads as a way to measue distances. On the non-planar surface, such as that of the earth, the shortest distance between two points will be along the "Great Circle" passing through the two points. In some situations people may be interested in the fastest route between two points even if it is not the shortest straight line distance.
