9. A wave on Beaver Dam Lake passes by two docks that are 40.0 m apart.

Physics
1 answer:
Kobotan [32]3 years ago
4 0

Answers:

a) 10 m

b) time=1.6 s, frquency=0.625 Hz

c) 6.25 m/s

Explanation:

a) If there is a crest at each dock and another three crests between the two docks, and the wavelength \lambda is the distance between to crests; this means we have 4\lambda in 40 m:

40 m=4\lambda

Clearing \lambda:

\lambda=\frac{40 m}{4}

\lambda=10 m

b) This part can be solved by a Rule of Three:

If 10 waves ---- 16 s

1 wave ----- T

Then:

T=\frac{(1 wave)(16 s)}{10 waves}

T=1.6 s This is the period of the wave

On the other hand, the frequency f of the wave has an inverse relation with its period T:

f=\frac{1}{T}

f=\frac{1}{1.6 s}

f=0.625 Hz This is the frequency of the wave

c) The speed v of a wave is given by the following equation:

v=\frac{\lambda}{T}

v=\frac{10 m}{1.6 s}

Finally:

v=6.25 m/s

Why is cancer so horrible
____ [38]

Answer:

Because it kills people. I have had 6 relatives who have died from it in the past 2 years. It's horrible.

Explanation:

If you're wondering what causes cancer, it is rapid and uncontrollable cell regeneration. The majority of cancers result from random mutations arising during DNA replication in the normal stem cells required during development and tissue maintenance.

The heater element of a 120 V toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. The resistivity of nichrome
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The power drawn by the toaster is closest to:

(A) 370 W

Explanation:

First we calculate the resistance of the nichrome wire (R).

R=\frac{pL}{A} =\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } \\

Where radious (r), resistance coefficient (p), and Length (L)

r=\frac{0.48}{2} 10^{-3} m\\\\L=5.4 m\\p=1.3*10^{-3}\varOmega  \\\\\\Replacing:\\\\R=\frac{1.3(10)^{-6} *5.4}{\pi* 0.24^{2} (10)^{-6}} =38.7940

After replace the value in the ohm law power formula to obtain the power consumed:

P=\frac{V^2}{R} =\frac{120^2}{38.7940} =371.191 Watts

In a compound microscope, the objective has a focal length of 1.0 cm, the eyepiece has a focal length of 2.0 cm, and the tube le
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The  value  is   m \approx   310

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  focal length of the objective is  f_o =  1.0 \ cm

    The  focal length of the eyepiece is  f_e  =  2.0 \  cm

    The  tube length is  L  =  25 \  cm

Generally the magnitude of the overall magnification is mathematically represented as

            m =  m_o  *  m_e

Where  m_o is the objective magnification which is mathematically represented as

        m_o  =  \frac{L}{f_o }

=>      m_o  =  \frac{25}{1 }

=>      m_o  =  25

m_e is the eyepiece magnification which is mathematically evaluated as

     m_e  =  \frac{L }{f_e }

     m_e  =  \frac{25 }{ 2}

      m_e  =  12.5 \  cm

So

    m =  25 * 12.5

     m \approx   310

How fast much an 816kg Volkswagen travel to have the same momentum as (a) a 2650kg Cadillac going 16.0 km/h? (b) a 9080-kg truck
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

the car's momentum = momentum of the truck

∴

(a) 816 kg × v = 2650 kg × 16.0 km/h

v = (2650 kg × 16.0 km/h) /  816 kg

v = 51.96 km/hr

(b) 816 kg × v = 9080 kg × 16.0 km/h

v = (9080 kg × 16.0 km/h) /  816 kg

v = 178.04 km/hr
