While anchored in the middle of a lake, you count exactly five waves hitting your boat every 10 s. you raise anchor and start mo

toring slowly in the same direction the waves are going. when traveling at 1.5 m/s, you notice that exactly three waves are hitting the boat from behind every 10 s. what is the speed of the waves on the lake?

<span>Every 10s 5 waves; t1 = 2s for each wave
 When v = 1.5m/s, 3 waves in 10s t2 = 10 / 3s
  Calculating the frequency in first case f1 = 5 / 10 = 0.5
 Calculating the frequency in second case f2 = 3 / 10 = 0.3
 Using the Doppler formula f = (1-v/c) f0
  For the formula f = f2, v = velocity of boat= 1.5 m/s, f0 = f1, c is velocity of wave 0.3 = 0.5 x (1 - 1.5/c) => 1.5/c = 1 - 0.6 => 1.5/c = 0.4 => c = 1.5/0.4 Velocity of the wave = 3.75 m/s</span>

the presence of which magnetic feature best explains why a magnet can act a distance on other magnets or on objects containing c
katen-ka-za [31]

Magnetic fields

Explanation:

The presence of magnetic fields  best explains why a magnet can act a distance on other magnets or on objects containing certain metals.

  • Magnetic fields are lines of forces around a bar magnet.
  • These lines of forces attracts and repels other magnetic bodies and metallic bodies round it.
  • Magnetic lines of forces originates at the north pole and enters in the south pole.
  • Areas around a magnetic body are bounded by force fields.
  • A magnet has permanent magnetic fields round it.

Which of the answer choices is a true statement? Select all that apply. Metallic elements usually exist as molecules, combining
lianna [129]

Metallic elements can exist on their own as individual atoms.

Nonmetals usually exist as molecules, combining with atoms of themselves.

Nonmetals can exist on their own as individual atoms.

Explanation:

Metallic elements can exist on their own as individual atoms. They have a large radius and are stable enough to freely exist as single atoms. The metallic bonding in them gives them stability.  Example Gold, Silver, Platinum e.t.c

Non-metals are usually found in combined as state as molecules. They are usually joined together by covalent attraction. The bonds are formed with the atoms shares their valence electrons and their octet is completed. For example nitrogen gas, oxygen gas.

Most noble gases are non-metals that exist as individual mono-atomic gases on their own. The gases are stable and have an octet/duet configuration. For example helium gas, neon gas e.t.c
