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

Luden [163]
If you travel 30 miles somewhere and then come home again your distance is 60 miles.  Your displacement is 0 because it is the ending position minus the beginning position, which are the same place (home).  In other words, displacement is a vector and distance is a scalar.

A power boat pulls a water skier 2.6 km maintaining a
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

W = 650 [kJ]

Explanation:

The definition of work is denoted by the product of force by the distance traveled by the body, this distance traveled corresponds to the direction of the force.

In this case we have:

d = distance = 2.6[km] = 2600 [m]

F = force = 250 [N]

W = F*d = 250 * 2600 = 650000 [J] or 650 [kJ]

Which trophic level has the least available energy in kilojoules in this food web?
insens350 [35]

The highest trophic level has the least available energy in kilojoules.

Even though the food web is not shown in the question, but we know that energy decreases steadily as it is passed on from one trophic level to the next according to the second law of thermodynamics.

Energy enters into the system from the sun. The primary producers utilize this energy to produce food. As plants are eaten by animals, this energy is transferred along the food web an diminishes at each higher trophic level.

At the highest trophic level, the the least available energy in kilojoules in this food web is found.

2. A ball tied to a pole by a rope swings in a circular path with a centripetal acceleration of 2.7 m/s. If the ball has a
Helga [31]

Answer: The diameter of the circular path is 2.96m

Explanation: centripetal acceleration = tangential speed^2 / radius of the circular path.

Centripetal acceleration = 2.7m/s^2

Tangential speed = 2.0m/s

Radius = 2.0^2 / 2.7 = 4/2.7

= 1.48m

Diameter = radius*2

= 1.48*2 = 2.96m.
