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.

1. (30 pts) Let x(t) = cos(πt/2) be a continuous-time signal,
posledela

Given that the function of the wave is f(x) = cos(π•t/2), we have;

a. The graph of the function is attached

b. 4 units of time

c. Even

d. 4.935 J/kg

e. 1.234 W/kg

<h3>How can the factors of the wave be found?</h3>

a. Please find attached the graph of the signal created with GeoGebra

b. The period of the signal, T = 2•π/(π/2) = <u>4</u>

c. The signal is <u>even</u>, given that it is symmetrical about the y-axis

d. The energy of the signal is given by the formula;

\frac{1}{2}  \cdot  \mu^{2} \cdot \omega ^{2}  \cdot \:  {a}^{2}  \times  \lambda

Which gives;

E = 0.5 × 1.571² × 1² × 4 = <u>4.935 J/kg</u>

e. The power of the wave is given by the formula;

E = 0.5 × 1.571² × 1² × 4 × 0.25 = <u>1.234 W/</u><u>kg</u>

3. What exerts a greater force on the table of 2 kg book lying flat or a 2 kg book on its
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A book on its side exerts a greater force.

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area

Assuming that 1kg = 10N

2kg = 20N

Area of book lying flat = 0.3m × 0.2m

                                     = 0.6m²

Pressure of book lying flat = 20N / 0.6m²

                                            = 30Pa (1 s.f.)

Area of book on its side = 0.2m × 0.05m

                                        = 0.01m²

Pressure of book on its side = 20N / 0.01m²

                                               = 2000Pa (1 s.f.)

Since 2000Pa (1 s.f.) > 30Pa (1 s.f.), a book on its side applies greater pressure than lying flat.

a man uses a 900 watt electric iron to press his clothes for an average of 4 hours a week for five weeks if the cost of an elect
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

54 Kobo

Explanation:

Units of <u>electricity</u> are measured in kilowatt hours (kWh).

Given information:

  • 900 watt electric iron
  • Appliance usage = 4 hours a week for 5 weeks
  • Unit cost of electricity = 3 Kobo per kWh

<h3><u>Step 1</u></h3>

Convert the wattage of the electric iron from watts to kilowatts.

1000 watts (W) = 1 kilowatt (kW)

⇒ 900 watts = 1 ÷ 1000 = 0.9 kilowatts

This means that the power consumption of the electric iron is 0.9 kW per hour of use.

<h3><u>Step 2</u></h3>

Total hours spent pressing clothes:

= 4 hours per week for 5 weeks

= 4 × 5

= 20 hours

<u>Total power consumption</u>:

= number of kW × number of hours

= 0.9 × 20

= 18 kWh

<h3><u>Step 3</u></h3>

To find the <u>total cost</u>, multiply the total kWh by the cost per kWh:

⇒ Cost = 18 × 3 = 54 Kobo

Fiora starts riding her bike at 18 mi/h. After a while, she slows down to 12 mi/h, and maintains that speed for the rest of the
lord [1]

Answer:

t = 2.5 hours

Explanation:

given,

speed of the bike for t time= 18 mi/h

final speed of the bike after t time = 12 mi/h

total distance, D = 69 miles

total time, T= 4.5 hour

time for which speed of the bike is 18 mi/h = ?

we know distance = speed x time

now,

18 x t + 12 (4.5 - t) = 69

6 t + 54 = 69

6 t = 15

t = 2.5 hours

The bike was at the speed of 18 mi/h for 2.5 hours.

Analyze the chemical reaction below
34kurt

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

Given that 16 g CH4 + 64 g 02 - 44 g CO2 + 36g H2O

To explain the law of conservation of mass and describe how the equation represents the law of conservation of mass, let me first start from law.

The law state that: mass can neither be created nor destroyed.

The mass of each element at the reaction side must be equal or the Same with the magnitude of mass at the product

The equation represents the law of conservation of mass because the mass of molecules at the right hand side is equal to or balance with the molecules at the left hand side. For example, the number of Oxygen, and othe elements are the at both side.
