The speed of the surfer is 4ft/s

Given,

Average wavelength(W) = 40ft

T=10s

So, Speed = W/T=40/10=4ft/s

<h3>Wavelength</h3>

The distance over which a periodic wave's shape repeats is known as the wavelength. It is the separation between neighboring wave points that correspond to the same phase, such as two adjacent crests, troughs, or zero crossings. It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. The spatial frequency is the wavelength's reciprocal. The Greek letter lambda (), which represents wavelength, is frequently used. When describing modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids, the term wavelength is also occasionally used.

If an object force of 50 N is used to move an object a distance of 20 m, what distance must the object be moved if the input for
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.

Explanation:

Given data:

F_{in} = 50 \ \rm N

F_{out} = 10 \ \rm N

d_{in} = 20 \ m

Let the distance traveled by the object in the second case be d_{out}.

In the given problem, work done by the forces are same in both the cases.

Thus,

W_{in} = W_{out}

F_{in}.d_{in} = F_{out}.d_{out}

\Rightarrow \ d_{out} = \frac{F_{in}.d_{in}}{F_{out}}

\ d_{out} = \frac{50 \times 20}{10}

\ d_{out} = 100 \ m.

You are doing an experiment to determine your reaction time. Your friend holds a ruler. You place your fingers near the sides of
olga2289 [7]
I'm guessing that you mean like this:
-- The ruler is held with zero at the bottom, and the centimeter markings
    increase as you go up the ruler.
-- You place your fingers with the ruler and the zero mark between them.
-- The number where you catch the ruler is the distance it has fallen.

Then, all we have to find is the time it takes for the ruler to fall 11.3 cm .

Here's the formula for the distance an object falls from rest
in a certain time:

                Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So we can write ...

                              11.2 cm  =  (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²
or
                         0.112 meter  =  (4.9 m/s²) (time)²                      

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :        (0.112 m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  time²

                            (0.112 / 4.9)  sec²  =  time²

Square root
each side:            time = √(0.112/4.9  sec²)

                                  =  √ 0.5488 sec²

                                  =      0.74 second     (rounded)
