A surfer travels on the crest of a surface wave

Answer:

Surfer travels at the crest

Explanation:

Waves on the surface of water is known as surface waves in which the disturbance will travel in form of crest and trough.

Now we know that disturbance or energy will travel along the surface due to which the crest and trough will also move along the surface with same speed

Now here surfer travel at the position of the crest of the wave because at that position the surfer will remain at the top of the wave due to which his balancing while he is in motion will be easier.

So here we can say the surfer will remain static with respect to the crest of the wave and crest move with the speed of wave and hence A surfer is actually traveling on CREST of a surface wave

zzz [600]

Answer:

784 J

Explanation:

Work is force times distance.

W = Fd

W = mgd

W = (40 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (2 m)

W = 784 J

Answer:

Temperatures on Earth are ideal for water to exist in solid, liquid, and gaseous forms.

Earth's gravity holds the water vapor in Earth's atmosphere close to its surface.

A 45 g bullet strikes and becomes embedded in a 1.55 kg block of wood placed on a horizontal surface just in front of the gun. I
zimovet [89]

Answer:

299.51 m/s

Explanation:

m = mass of the bullet = 45 g = 0.045 kg

M = mass of the block = 1.55 kg

v = muzzle speed of the bullet

V = speed of bullet-block combination after the collision

μ = Coefficient of friction between the block and the surface = 0.28

d = distance traveled by the block = 13 m

V' = final speed of the bullet-block combination = 0 m/s

acceleration of the bullet-block combination due to frictional force is given as

a = - μg

using the kinematics equation

V'² = V² + 2 a d

0² = V² + 2 (- μg) d

0 = V² - 2 (μg) d

0 = V² - 2 (0.28) (9.8) (13)

V = 8.45 m/s

Using conservation of momentum for collision between bullet and block

mv = (M + m) V

(0.045) v = (1.55 + 0.045) (8.45)

v = 299.51 m/s
