' A ' is one crest of the wave. After every wavelength, there's another one.
' B ' . . . the vertical arrow under B shows the amplitude of the wave
' C ' is one trough of the wave. After every wavelength, there's another one.
' D ' . . . the horizontal arrow over D shows the wavelength.
Beginning when the bottom of the object first touches the water,
and as it descends and more and more of it goes under, the
buoyant force on it increases during that time.
As soon as the object is completely underwater, it doesn't matter
how deep under it is, the buoyant force on it remains the same.
The problem states that the distance travelled (d) is
directly proportional to the square of time (t^2), therefore we can write this in
the form of:
d = k t^2
where k is the constant of proportionality in furlongs /
s^2
<span>Using the 1st condition where d = 2 furlongs, t
= 2 s, we calculate for the value of k:</span>
2 = k (2)^2
k = 2 / 4
k = 0.5 furlongs / s^2
The equation becomes:
d = 0.5 t^2
Now solving for d when t = 4:
d = 0.5 (4)^2
d = 0.5 * 16
<span>d = 8 furlongs</span>
<span>
</span>
<span>It traveled 8 furlongs for the first 4.0 seconds.</span>
I’m so sorry, I need more information. Good luck and I’m sorry I couldn’t help you :(
