A surfer travels on the crest of a surface wave
elixir [45]3 years ago
3 0

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

Your office has a 0.025 m^3 cylindrical container of drinking water. The radius of the container is about 13 cm. Required:a. Whe
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

<em>a) 105935.7 Pa</em>

<em>b) 103630.35 Pa</em>

Explanation:

The volume of the container = 0.025 m^3

The radius of the container = 13 cm = 0.13 m

We have to find the height of the tank

From the equation for finding the volume of the cylinder,

V = \pi r^2h

where

V is the volume of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

substituting values, we have

0.025 = 3.142 x 0.13^2 x h

0.025 = 0.0531h

h = 0.025/0.0531 = 0.47 m

Pressure at the bottom of the tank P = ρgh

where

ρ is the density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h is the depth of water which is equal to the height of the tank

substituting values, we have

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.47 = 4610.7 Pa

atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

therefore, the pressure in the tank bottom above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 4610.7 Pa = <em>105935.7 Pa</em>

b) For half way down the container, depth of water will be = 0.47/2 = 0.235 m

pressure P = 1000 x 9.81 x 0.235 = 2305.35 Pa

This pressure above atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa + 2305.35 Pa = <em>103630.35 Pa</em>

Three 5 Ohm resistors are connected in parallel to a 9 Volt power supply. What is the current through each resistor?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

I₁ = I₂ = I₃ = 12 A

Explanation:

Since the resistors are connected in parallel across a battery. Hence, the voltage across each of them will be the same, which will be equal to the voltage of the power supply. Since each resistor has the same resistance of 5 Ω. Therefore. the current across each resistor will also be the same. We can easily calculate these current values by the use of Ohm's Law, as follows:

V = IR\\I_{1}=I_{2}=I_{3}=\frac{V}{R} \\\\I_{1}=I_{2}=I_{3}=\frac{9\ Volt}{5 \Omega}\\\\

<u>I₁ = I₂ = I₃ = 12 A</u>
