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.

Moons revolve around a planet, and planets revolve around the sun. Ganymede is considered a moon because it revolves around the planet Jupiter, therefore, it is a moon. :) I hope this helps!

An 84.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.76 m/s2. If the sprinter accelerates at that rate for 11 m, and then
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

t=17.838s

Explanation:

The displacement is divided in two sections, the first is a section with constant acceleration, and the second one with constant velocity. Let's consider the first:

The acceleration is, by definition:

a=\frac{dv}{dt}=1.76

So, the velocity can be obtained by integrating this expression:

v=1.76t

The velocity is, by definition: v=\frac{dx}{dt}, so

dx=1.76tdt\\x=1.76\frac{t^{2}}{2}.

Do x=11 in order to find the time spent.

11=1.76\frac{t^2}{2}\\ t^2=\frac{2*11}{76} \\t=\sqrt{12.5}=3.5355s

At this time the velocity is: v=1.76t=1.76*3.5355s=6.2225\frac{m}{s}

This velocity remains constant in the section 2, so for that section the movement equation is:

x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}

The left distance is 89 meters, and the velocity is 6.2225\frac{m}{s}, so:

t=\frac{89}{6.2225}=14.303s

So, the total time is 14.303+3.5355s=17.838s
