Answer:

55 m eastward

Explanation:

The relationship between velocity, displacement and time is:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where v is the velocity, d the displacement and t the time.

In this problem, we know:

- $v=0.11 km/h$ eastward is the velocity of the sloth

- $t=30.0 min = 0.5 h$ is the time of the motion

Therefore, we can find the displacement of the sloth by re-arranging the previous formula:

$d=vt=(0.11 km/h)(0.5 h)=0.055 km = 55 m$

and the direction is the same as the velocity (eastward).

Displacement is the total distance from the start point, so what you want to say is that in total, If he moves 0.11 km in 60 minutes (km/h) then in 30 minutes he simply moved 0.055 km (half of 0.11 km)

Answer:

The total surface are of the bowl is given by: 0.0532*pi m² (approximately 0.166533 m²)

Explanation:

The total surface area of the semi-spherical bowl can be decomposed in three different sections: 1) an outer semi-sphere of radius 12 cm, 2) an inner semi-sphere of radius 10 cm, and 3) the edge, which is a 2-dimensional ring with internal radius of 10 cm and external radius of 12 cm. We will compute the areas independently and then sum them all.

a) Outer semi-sphere:

A1 = 2*pi*r² = 2*pi*(12 cm)² = 288*pi cm² = 904.78 cm²

b) Inner semi-sphere:

A2 = 2*pi*(10 cm)² = 200*pi cm² = 628.32 cm²

c) Edge (Ring):

A3 = pi*(r1² - r2²) = pi*((12 cm)²-(10 cm)²) = pi*(144-100) cm² = 44*pi cm² = 138.23 cm²

Therefore, the total surface area of the bowl is given by:

A = A1 + A2 + A3 = 288*pi cm² + 200*pi cm² + 44*pi cm² = 532*pi cm² (approximately 1665.33 cm²)

Changing units to m², as required in the problem, we get:

A = 532*pi cm² * (1 m² / 10, 000 cm²) = 0.0532*pi m² (approximately 0.166533 m²)

laila [671]

Answer:

f = 2 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is defined as the no. of waves passing per unit of time. Therefore, the frequency of a wave can be calculated by the following formula:

$f = \frac{n}{t}$
