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>

If a powerlifter raises a 1000 N weight a distance of 2.0 meters in 0.5 seconds, what is his power output?
Ilya [14]
Power =Force * Velocity

Velocity = Distance/Time = 2/0.5 = 4 m/s

Therefore,

P = 1000*4 =  4000 W = 4 kW

The match making one is Radiation is i think B and Convection i think is C and Conduction i think is A.  I think 1 is radiation. Because radiation is transferred between objects or an empty space. Number 2 i think is conduction Because conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between to objects touching. Number 3 i also i think is radiation because radiation transfers between objects. Number 4 i also think is conduction because the spoon was touching a hot pot that was on the stove so then the thermal energy was transferred between the two objects touching. number 5 I think is convection because convection is the transfer of energy by the movement of a fluid, such as air or water. Number 6 i think is radiation because the snake is not touching the lamp and radiation goes all across spaces. Number 7 i think is convection because convection is the movement of a fluid, such as air or water. Hope this helps sorry its so long :)
