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

What is the equivalent resistance?​
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

C 3.33 Ω

Explanation:

From the equation given    1 / Rtot = 1/10 + 1/5 =  3/10

 then Rtot = 10/3 = 3.33 Ω

As an aside:

When there are only two resistors in parallel, the equivalent R is

=    R1*R2 / (R1 + R2) =  10*5 / (10+5) = 50 / 15 = 3.33 Ω

A long solenoid, of radius a, is driven by an alternating current, so that the field inside is sinusoidal: B(t) = B0 cos(ωt) ˆz.
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

B(t) = B0 cos(ωt) • k

Radius r = a

Inner radius r' = a/2 and resistance R.

Current in the loop as a function of time I(t) =?

Magnetic flux is given as

Φ = BA

And the Area is given as

A = πr², where r = a/2

A = πa²/4

Then,

Φ = ¼ Bπa²

Φ(t) = ¼πa²Bo•Cos(ωt)

Then, the EMF is given as

ε(t) = -dΦ/dt

ε(t) = -¼πa²Bo • -ωSin(ωt)

ε(t) = ¼ωπa²Bo•Sin(ωt)

From ohms law,

ε = iR

Then, i = ε/R

I(t) = ¼ωπa²Bo•Sin(ωt) /R

This is the current induced in the loop.

The African and South American continents are separating at a rate of about 3 cm per year, according to the ideas of plate tecto
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

166 666 666.7 years

Explanation:

We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.

We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart

So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart

t = distance/speed

t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years

How does an ice cube melt when you hold it in your hand?
dezoksy [38]
The heat from your hand causes the ice molecules to heat up and become more active. This lowers the stability of the ice cube compound causing it to melt.
