1. -none of the above

First of all, we have to notice that the speed of a wave in a material depends only on the properties of the material: therefore, if we use two strings made by the same material, the wave speed in the two strings will be the same.

Secondly, we can observe that the fundamental frequency of a wave on a string is given by

$f_1 = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

where

L is the length of the string

T is the tension in the string

$\mu=\frac{m}{L}$ is the linear density of the string, with m being its mass

In this problem, the only difference between the two strings is in the thickness. Therefore, since the two strings have same length (L), same tension (T) and same linear density ( $\mu$ ), their frequency is the same.

And lastly, since the wavelength is given by the equation

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where v is the wave speed and f is the frequency, since both v and f do not change, then the wavelength in the two strings is also the same.

2. wavelength and wave frequency

As before, the two strings are made of same material, so they have same wave speed.

The frequency instead is given by

$f_1 = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

and since this time the two strings have different length L, then they also have different frequency.

And then, from the equation

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

we also conclude that if the frequency changes and the wave speed remains the same, then the wavelength must change as well.

Answer from: Quest

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. a) reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground. b) reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. c) biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because is is typically not very effective. d) biological augmentation would take less time to ve effective because it targets the majority of prey species.
