A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

e of the water. It takes a time of 2.30 ss for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.650 mm. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.10 mm apart.
(a) How much is the wavelength? Express your answer using three significant figures.
(b) Find the period of the wave. Express your answer using three significant figures.
(c) How fast are the waves traveling? Express the speed v in meters per second using three significant figures.
(d) What is the amplitude A of each wave? Express your answer in meters using three significant figures.

Answer:

a) 6.1 m

b) 4.6 s

c) 1.326 m/s

d) 0.325 m

Explanation:

a) The wave length is the distance between 2 crests λ = 6.1m

b) The period of the wave is the time it takes from the lowest point to the next lowest point, which is twice the time it takes from the lowest point to the highest point = 2*2.3 = 4.6 s

c) The speed of the wave is the distance per unit of time, or wave length over period = 6.1 / 4.6 = 1.326 m/s

d)The amplitude A is half the distance from the highest point to the lowest point = 0.65 / 2 = 0.325 m

The expression below was formed by combining different gas laws.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Avogadro's law.

Explanation:

Avogadro’s law states that, equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.

Mathematically,

V n

V = Kn where V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; n = number of moles of gas;

K = mathematical constant.

The ideal gas equation is a combination of Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro’s law.

V 1/P at constant temperature (Boyle’s law)

V T at constant pressure ( Charles’law)

V n at constant temperature and pressure ( Avogadro’s law )

Combining the equations yields,

V nT/P

Introducing a constant,

V = nRT/P

PV = nRT

Where P = pressure in atm, Pa, torr, mmHg or Nm-2; V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; T = temperature in Kelvin; n = number of moles of gas in mol; R = molar gas constant = 0.082 dm3atmK-1mol-1

An electron in a television tube is accelerated uniformly from rest to a speed of 8.4\times 10^7~\text{m/s}8.4×10 ​7 ​​ m/s over
stich3 [128]

Answer:

P=3.42×10^-6 J/s

Explanation:

From the kinematics of motion with constant acceleration we know that :  

vf^2=vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

Where :

• vf , vi, are the the final and the initial velocity of the electron  

• a is the acceleration of the electron  

• xf , xi are the final and the initial position of the electron .

Strategy for solving the problem : at first from the given information we calculate the acceleration of the electron.  

Givens: vf = 8.4 x 10^7 m/s , vi, = 0 m/s , xf = 0.025 m and xi = 0 m  

vf^2 =vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

vf^2-vi^2=2*a(xf-xi)

2*a(xf-xi)= vf^2-vi^2

          a = (vf^2-vi^2)/2(xf-xi)

Pluging known information to get :

a = (vf^2-vi^2)/2(xf-xi)

  = 1.411 × 10^17

From the acceleration and the previous Eq. we can calculate the final velocity of the electron but a new position xf = 0.01 m  

so,

vf^2 =vi^2+2*a(xf-xi)

vf^2 =5.312× 10^7

From the following Eq. we can calculate the time elapsed in this motion .  

xf =xi+vi*t+1/2*a*t

xf =xi+vi*t+1/2*a*t

  t=√2(xf-xi)/a

 t=3.765×10^-10 s

now we can use the power P Eq.  

 P=W/Δt => ΔK/Δt  

Where: the work done W change the kinetic energy K of the electron ,

ΔK=Kf-Ki=>1/2*m*vf^2-1/2*m*vi^2

P=1/2*m*vf^2-1/2*m*vi^2/Δt

P=3.42×10^-6 J/s

Two long, parallel wires are separated by 2.2 mm. Each wire has a 32-AA current, but the currents are in opposite directions. Pa
Alex

Answer:

B=1.1636*10^{-3}T

Explanation:

Given data

d_{wires}=2.2mm=0.022m\\ I_{current}=32A\\

To find

Magnitude of the net magnetic field B

Solution

The magnitude of the net magnetic field can be find as:

B=2*u\frac{I}{2\pi r}\\ B=2*(4\pi*10^{-7}  )\frac{32}{2\pi (0.022/2)} \\ B=1.1636*10^{-3}T
