Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second

s. The markings on the post submerged in water indicate that the water level fluctuates from a trough at 6.0 meters to a crest at 9.0 meters. What is the amplitude of the wave?

The amplitude of a wave can be obtained by measuring the distance from the resting position of the wave to its crest. The resting position is half of the distance from the crest to the trough. Given that the distance between the crest and the trough is 3 meters, the amplitude should be half of that, which is 1.5 meters.

Which situation is most likely to lead to improving a scientific theory?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A. Repeating an experiment to verify results

Explanation:

A scientific theory may be defined as the theory of science that is a thought out explanation of the observations done in the nature or that happens in the natural world. They are constructed using several scientific methods by observing many facts and hypothesis.

According to the question, repeating of an experiment a number of times and verifying its result may help in improving a scientific theory as if we get the similar result for each experiments, then it confirms the basis of the hypothesis or the facts that are observe in the nature and conclude a scientific theory.

a wheel with a radius of 45.0 cm rolls without slipping along a horizontal floor (fig. 3-37). at time t 1 ​ the dot p painted on
Whitepunk [10]

The magnitude is 167.6cm and the angle (relative to the floor) of the displacement of p is 32.5 degree.

<h3>What is displacement ?</h3>

A displacement is a vector in geometry and mechanics that has a length equal to the shortest distance between a point P's initial and final positions. It calculates the length and angle of the net motion, or total motion, in a straight line from the starting point to the destination of the point trajectory. The translation that links the starting point and the ending point can be used to spot a displacement.

A point's ultimate location in relation to its original position, or a displacement, can also be defined as a relative position. The instantaneous velocity of an object is the rate at which the displacement changes as a function of time when studying motions of objects throughout time.

Explanation:

a)

height = 2*r =2*45 cm = 90 cm

y = 1/2 * circumference

   =1/2 * 2*pi*r

   = pi*r

  = pi*45

  = 141.4 cm

displacement  =sqrt ( height^2 + y^2)

   = sqrt (90^2 + 141.4^2)

   = 167.6 cm

Answer: 167.6 cm

b)

angle ,x = atan (height/y)

               = atan (90/141.4)

                = 32.5 degree

Answer: 32.5 degree

an Olympic runner leaps over a hurdle.if the runner initial vertical speed is 2.2m/s how much will the runners center of mass be
Snowcat [4.5K]
Supposing the runner is condensed to a point and moves upward at 2.2 m/s.
It takes a time = 2.2/g = 2.2/9.8 = 0.22 seconds to increase to max height. 
Now looking at this condition in opposite - that is the runner is at max height and drops back to earth in 0.22 s (symmetry of this kind of motion). 
From what height does any object take 0.22 s to fall to earth (supposing there is no air friction)? 
d = 1/2gt²= (0.5)(9.8)(0.22)²= 0.24 m

A motor cycle travelling at 10 m/s accelerates at 4m/s for 8s.<br>what is it final velocity? ​
Vlad1618 [11]
  • Initial velocity=u=10m/s
  • Acceleration=a=4m/s^2
  • Time=t=8s

Final velocity be v

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=u+at

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=10+4(8)

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=10+32

\\ \bull\tt\longmapsto v=42m/s
