The average wave speed depends on the medium the waves are traveling through. In general, wave speed is proportional to the square root of tension in the medium. If we know the tension, we can calculate the average wave speed by: v = sqrt(T/µ), where T is the tension and µ is the mass per unit length of the medium.

What is the amplitude of body if distance covered by it is 20cm in 1 vibration?

The amplitude of the body is half of the distance covered in one vibration. In this case, the amplitude would be 10cm.


What is the MA of a lever if the resistance arm is 20cm and the effort arm is 100cm?

The mechanical advantage of a lever is calculated by dividing the length of the effort arm by the length of the resistance arm. In this case, the MA would be 5 (100cm/20cm).


If a shoe box measures 6cm high 7cm wide and 20cm long what is its volume?

The volume of the shoebox is calculated by multiplying its height, width, and length. In this case, the volume is 6 cm x 7 cm x 20 cm = 840 cubic cm.


If your face is 20cm in front of a mirror what is the image of your face?

no of course not sheesh like are you dumb??? wow I cant believe people are asking these questions these days


What is a tape chart?

Before dataloggers, there were ticker tape timers. A TTT is a device which makes dots on a piece of paper tape about 1cm across, fifty every second. If the paper is moving through the TTT, these dots are separated out. Measuring the length of (say) ten spaces on the TTT lets us find the average speed because ten spaces took 1/5 of a second and speed = distance/time. Example: length of a 10-space segment of tape = 20cm. Time to make it = 1/5s Speed = distance/time so the tape is passing through the machine at a speed of 20/(1/5) = 20x5 = 100 cm/s. For accelerating bodies, we can cut them into sequential 10-space lengths then stick them on a piece of paper side by side showing how the average speed is changing with time.
