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 force that the 4kg block exerts on the 10kg block
Kryger [21]
Acceleration=force/mass=28/(10+4)=2m/s^2

force10kg=ma=10*2
force4kg=ma=(10*2)=20
the4 kg is pushing against the 10kg block

vf=vi+at
-10=20*28/14 * t
t=30/2=15sec

i hope this can help you.

First you get a tool and remove some of the warping from the tip.hehe. Then you neatly wrap the wires around the nail. Wrap more if you want to make it stronger. Make sure your able to fit the battery. connect the end of the wire to the positive side. Be careful.

Work-Energy Theorem: A 4.0 kg object is moving with speed 2.0 m/s. A 1.0 kg object is moving with speed 4.0 m/s. Both objects en
allsm [11]

The same braking force does work on these objects to slow them down. The work done is equal to their change in kinetic energy:

FΔx = 0.5mv²

F = force, Δx = distance traveled, m = mass, v = speed

Isolate Δx:

Δx = 0.5mv²/F

Calculate Δx for each object.

Object 1: m = 4.0kg, v = 2.0m/s

Δx = 0.5(4.0)(2.0)²/F = 8/F

Object 2: m = 1.0kg, v = 4.0m/s

Δx = 0.5(1.0)(4.0)²/F = 8/F

The two objects travel the same distance before stopping.

g 2. The _____ spans the distance from the _____ to the location of the applied force. moment arm; pivot point moment of inertia
Alik [6]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be Option A (moment arm; pivot point).

Explanation:

  • The moment arm seems to be the duration seen between joint as well as the force section trying to act mostly on the joint. Each joint that is already implicated in the workout seems to have a momentary arm.
  • The moment arm extends this same distance from either the pivot point to just the position of that same pressure exerted.
  • The pivotal point seems to be the technical indicators required to fully measure the appropriate demand trends alongside different time-frames.

The other three choices are not related to the given situation. So that option A is the appropriate choice.
