Suppose you watch a leaf bobbing up and down as ripples pass it by in a pond. you notice that it does two full up and down bobs each second. which statement is true of the ripples on the pond?
a.) they have a wavelength of two cycles per second.
b.) they have a frequency of 2 hertz.
c.) they have a frequency of 4 hertz.
d.) we can calculate the wavelength of the ripples from their frequency.

Two 2.0-cm-diameter disks face each other, 1.0 mm apart. they are charged to ±10 nc. what is the electric field strength between the disks? a proton is shot from the negative disk toward the positive disk. what launch speed must the proton have to just barely reach the positive disk?

You have two photos of a person walking. one shows the person at the corner of third and main streets, the other shows the person at the corner of tenth and main streets. there are lampposts at every corner in this town, and the first picture shows it to be 10: 32: 00 exactly. the second picture shows it to be 10: 49: 30. you know three facts: (1) all of the clocks are synchronized; (2) there are exactly 12 equal-sized blocks per kilometer in this town; and (3) the streets that cross main in this area are numbered consecutively, with no interruptions. what is the person’s average speed in kilometers per hour?

Learning goal: to understand newton's 1st law. newton's principia states this first law of motion: an object subject to no net force maintains its state of motion, either at rest or at constant speed in a right line. this law may be restated as follows: if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of that object is zero. mathematically this is just a special case of the 2nd law of motion, f⃗ =ma⃗ , when f⃗ =0. when studying newtonian mechanics, it is best to remember the 1st law in two ways: if the net force (i. e., sum of all forces) acting on an object is zero, the object will keep moving with constant velocity (which may be zero). if an object is moving with constant velocity, that is, with zero acceleration, then the net force acting on that object must be zero. complete the following sentences to see if you can apply these ideas. part a if a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that
