The wavelength \lambda of the wave is 160 m, and this is the distance between two consecutive crests. The boat is located at a crest of the wave, this means that the first trough is located 80 meters from the boat (because the distance between a crest and a trough is half the wavelength).

The speed of the wave is 
v=56 km/h = 15.6 m/s
so the time the boat takes to reach the first trough is
t= \frac{S}{v} = \frac{80 m}{15.6 m/s}=5.1 s

3. Some guitarists like the feel of a set of strings that all have the same tension. For such a guitar, the G string (196 Hz) ha
Vlad [161]

Answer:

0.98 g/m

Explanation:

Note: Since Tension and frequency are constant,

Applying,

F₁²M₁ = F₂²M₂............... Equation 1

Where F₁ = Frequency of the G string, F₂ = Frequency of the A string, M₁ = mass density of the G string, M₂ = mass density of the A string.

make M₂ the subject of the equation

M₂ = F₁²M₁/F₂²............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F₁ = 196 Hz, M₁ = 0.31 g/m, F₂ = 110 Hz

Substitute these values into equation 2

M₂ = 196²(0.31)/110²

M₂ = 0.98 g/m

How can i prove the conservation of mechanical energy?​
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

We can also prove the conservation of mechanical energy of a freely falling body by the work-energy theorem, which states that change in kinetic energy of a body is equal to work done on it. i.e. W=ΔK. And ΔE=ΔK+ΔU. Hence the mechanical energy of the body is conserved

A 6 kg weight is lifted off the ground to a height that gives it 70.56 j of gravitational potential energy. what is its height?
Marina CMI [18]
GPE= 70.56 J -------------------> GPE= mgh-------------> X= height
70.56 = 6(kg) * 9.8(m/s/s) * X
70.56 = 58.8X
70.56/58.8= 58.8X/58.8
X= 1.2
The height is 1.2 feet or meters (whatever unit you are using in this problem)

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(1) An object that’s negatively charged has more electrons than protons.

(2) An object that’s positively charged has fewer electrons than protons.

(3) An object that’s not charged has the same number of electrons than protons.

Explanation :

Objects have three subatomic particles that are Electrons, protons, and neutrons.

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus and electrons rotate or move outside the nucleus. Naturally, protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge, and electrons are negatively charged.

Therefore, an object that is negatively charged has more electrons than protons.  An object that is not charged has the same number of electrons than protons. An object that is positively charged has fewer electrons than protons.
