1) 2.5 wavelengths

2) 0.208 m

3) 1731 Hz

Explanation:

Standing waves are waves that do not propagate, but instead the particles of the medium just oscillate around a fixed position. Examples of standing waves are the waves produced on a string with fixed ends.

The points of a standing wave in which the amplitude of the oscillation is always zero are called nodes.

The two fixed ends of the string are two nodes. In this problem, we have a total of 6 nodes along the string: this means that there are 4 additional nodes apart from the two ends of the string.

Therefore, this also means that the string oscillate in 5 different segments.

One wavelength is equal to 2 segments of the oscillation: therefore, since here there are 5 segments, this means that the number of wavelengths that we have in this string is

$n=\frac{5}{2}=2.5$

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crests (or throughs) of the wave.

The wavelength of a standing wave can be also measured as the distance between the nth-node and the (n+2)-th node: so, basically, the wavelength in a standing wave is twice the distance between two nodes:

$\lambda = 2 d$

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

d is the distance between two nodes

Here the length of the string is

L = 0.520 m

And since it oscillates in 5 segments, the distance between two nodes is

$d=\frac{L}{5}=\frac{0.520}{5}=0.104 m$

And therefore, the wavelength is

$\lambda=2d=2(0.104)=0.208 m$

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations of the wave per second.

The frequency of a wave is related to its speed and wavelength by the wave equation:

$v=f\lambda$

where

v is the speed

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

In this problem:

v = 360 m/s is the speed of the wave

$\lambda=0.208 m$ is the wavelength

Therefore, the frequency is

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{360}{0.208}=1731 Hz$

answer and explanation;

composition refers to both the types of minerals within a rock and the overall chemical makeup of the rock while texture refers to the size and arrangement of the minerals or grains that make up a rock. both composition and texture can be used to classify rocks, such as igneous rocks. texture describes how the rock became solid or crystallized from liquid, melted rock. composition of a rock describes the minerals that make up a particular rock.

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 11.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.80 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.80 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage
