Suppose you watch a leaf bobbing up and down as ripples pass it by in a pond. You notice that it does two full up and down bobs

each second. Which statement is true of the ripples on the pond?
They have a frequency of 2 hertz. (hertz = cycles per second)

Answer:

They have a frequency of 2 hertz

Explanation:

Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time and Wavelength is the distance from one crest to another, or from one trough to another.

In the question, it is stated that the leaf does two full up and down bobs, this means that it completes 2 full cycles in one second. Therefore, its frequency is 2/s

where, s⁻¹ is hertz

so, They have a frequency of 2 hertz

Glycerin is poured into an open U-shaped tube until the height in both sides is 20cm. Ethyl alcohol is then poured into one arm
Liula [17]

Answer:

7.5 cm

Explanation:

In the figure we can see a sketch of the problem. We know that at the bottom of the U-shaped tube the pressure is equal in both branches. Defining \rho_A: Ethyl alcohol density and \rho_G: Glycerin density , we can write:

\rho_A\times g \times h_1 + \rho_G \times g \times h_2 = \rho_G \times g \times h_3

Simplifying:

\rho_A\times h_1 = \rho_G \times (h_3 - h_2) (1)

On the other hand:

h_1 + h_2 = \Delta h + h_3

Rearranging:

h_1 - \Delta h = h_3 - h_2 (2)

Replacing  (2) in (1):

\rho_A\times h_1 = \rho_G \times (h_1 - \Delta h)

Rearranging:

\frac{h_1 \times (\rho_A - \rho_G)}{- \rho_G} = \Delta h

Data:

h_1 = 20 cm; \rho_A = 0.789 \frac{g}{cm^3}; \rho_G = 1.26 \frac{g}{cm^3}

\frac{20 cm \times (0.789 - 1.26) \frac{g}{cm^3}}{- 1.26\frac{g}{cm^3}}  = \Delta h

7.5 cm =  \Delta h

) Water falls from a height of 60m at the rate of 15kg/s to operate a turbine. The losses due to frictional force are 10% of ene
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

8100W

Explanation:

Let g = 10m/s2

As water is falling from 60m high, its potential energy from 60m high would convert to power. So the rate of change in potential energy is

P = \dot{E} = \dot{m}gh = 15*10*60 = 9000 J/s or 9000W

Since 10% of this is lost to friction, we take the remaining 90 %

P = 9000*90% = 8100 W

Find the focal length of a lens of power-2.0D . What type of lens is this ?
olga_2 [115]

Answer: f = - 0.50 m, negative (diverging) lens

Explanation: D-value (diopter ) means 1/f, unit is 1/m. Thus -2.0D

Means f = ( 1/ -2.0 ) m = -0.50 m
