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

GrogVix [38]

Explanation:

An elastic band is hung on a hook and a mass is hung on the lower end of the band. When the mass is pulled downward and then released, it vibrates vertically. The equation of motion is given by :

s=6cos\ t+3sin\ t

Where

s is in centimeters

t is in seconds

Velocity of the particle, v=\dfrac{ds}{dt}

v=\dfrac{d(6cos\ t+3sin\ t)}{dt}

v=3cos\ t-6sin\ t

Acceleration of the particle, a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

v=\dfrac{d(3cos\ t-6sin\ t)}{dt}

v=-6cos\ t-3sin\ t

Hence, this is the required solution.

How much would it cost to operate five incandescent light bulbs for the months of April and May, collectively, given that each b
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Total Cost is 41.18 AED

Explanation:

Per day number of hours light bulbs were on=3hours

5 bulbs power consumption = 150Wx5 = 750W

Electricity usage per day = 750 x 3 = 2250Wh = 2.25kWh

April has 30 days and May has 31 days. Therefore totals days = 61days

Total power consumption = 2.25x 61 = 137.25kWh

Total Cost = 137.25x 0.30 = 41.175 AED
