Answer:
d = 2.54 [m]
Explanation:
Through the theorem of work and energy conservation, we can find the work that is done. Considering that the energy in the initial state is only kinetic energy, while the energy in the final state is also kinetic, however, this is zero since the body stops.
where:
W = work [J]
Ek1 = kinetic energy at initial state [J]
Ek2 = kinetic energy at the final state = 0.
We must remember that kinetic energy can be calculated by means of the following expression.
We know that work is defined as the product of force by distance.
where:
F = force [N]
d = distance [m]
But the friction force is equal to the product of the normal force (body weight) by the coefficient of friction.
Now solving the equation for the work.
Answer:
Frequency, f = 15 Hz
Explanation:
We have,
Speed of an ocean wave is 45 m/s
Wavelength of a wave is 3 m
It is required to find the frequency of an ocean wave.
Speed of a wave, , f = frequency of ocean wave
So, the frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.
