A fisherman fishing from a pier observes that the float on his line bobs up and down, taking 2.4 s to move from its highest poin

t to its lowest point. He also estimates that the distance between adjacent wave crests is 48 m. What is the speed of the waves going past the pier?Immersive Reader

Answer:

  v = 10 m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the relationship between the speed of a wave and its frequency and wavelength

         v = λ f

the wavelength is the distance at which the wave repeats, in this case the distance between the two ridges λ = 48 m.

the frequency is the number of oscillations per unit of time, it is also the inverse of the period which is the time in a complete oscillation, in this case they give us the time of half a period, ½ T = 2.4 s

   T = 4.8 s

the frequency is

        f = 1 / T

        f = 1 / 4.8

        f = 0.2083 Hz

let's calculate

        v = 0.2083 48

        v = 10 m / s

Calculate the change in length of a Pyrex glass dish (Coefficient of linear expansion for Pyrex is 3 * 10-6 / oC) that is 0.25 m
DIA [1.3K]

9*10^{-5} m

Explanation:

Step 1:

We are given the initial length of the Pyrex glass dish at a particular temperature and need to calculate the change in the length when the temperature changes by 120° C. The coefficient of linear expansion of Pyrex is provided.

Step 2:

Change in length = Coefficient of linear expansion * Change in temperature * Initial length

Step 3:

Coefficient of linear expansion = 3*10^{-6} /°C

Change in temperature = 120°C = 120 K

Initial length = 0.25 m

Step 4:

Change in length = 3*10^{-6} * 120 * 0.25 = 9*10^{-5} m

The motion of an object undergoing constant acceleration can be modeled by the kinematic equations. One such equation is xf=xi+v
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

a = 1.72 m/s²

Explanation:

The given kinematic equation is the 2nd equation of motion. The equation is as follows:

xf = xi + (Vi)(t) + (1/2)(a)t²

where,

xf = the final position =  5000 m

xi = the initial position = 1000 m

Vi = the initial velocity = 15 m/s

t = the time taken = 60 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

5000 m = 1000 m + (15 m/s)(60 s) + (1/2)(a)(60 s)²

5000 m = 1000 m + 900 m + a(1800 s²)

5000 m = 1900 m + a(1800 s²)

5000 m - 1900 m = a(1800 s²)

a(1800 s²) = 3100 m

a = 3100 m/1800 s²

<u>a = 1.72 m/s²</u>
