A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes by, five more crests pass in a time of 29.4 s.

The distance between two successive crests is 31.4 m. What is the wave's (a) period, (b) frequency, (c) wavelength, and (d) speed

Answer:

(a) 5.88 s

(b) 0.17 Hz

(c) 31.4 m

(d) 5.338 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

(a) Period = time between successive crest = t/n............ Equation 1

where t = time, n = number of wave crest

Given: t = 29.4, n = 5

therefore,

Period (T) = 29.4/5 = 5.88 s.

(b) Frequency = 1/period

Frequency = 1/5.88

Frequency = 0.17 Hz.

(c) wavelength = distance between two successive crest = 31.4 m

(d)  using,

v = λf............... Equation 2

Where v = speed, f = frequency, λ = wavelength

given: f = 0.17 Hz, λ = 31.4 m

Substitute into equation 2

v = 0.17(31.4)

v = 5.338 m/s

makkiz [27]

Answer:

An ultra intense laser is one with which intensities greater than 1015 W cm-2 can be achieved.

Explanation:

This intensity, which was the upper limit of lasers until the invention of the Chirped Pulse Amplification, CPA technique, is the value around which nonlinear effects on the transport of radiation in materials begin to appear.

Currently, the most powerful lasers reach intensities of the order of 1021W cm-2 and powers of Petawatts, PW, in each pulse. This range of intensities has opened the door for lasers to a multitude of disciplines and scientific areas traditionally reserved for accelerators and nuclear reactors, applying as generators of high-energy electron, ion, neutron and photon beams, without the need for expensive infrastructure.

A rocket's mass decreases as it burns fuel. the equation of motion for a rocket in vertical flight can be obtained from newton's
Talja [164]

<span>The equation of motion for a rocket in vertical flight can be obtained from newton’s second law of motion and is constant-mass system. The equation of motion for a body mass varies with time and mass. When force acts on rocket, the rocket will accelerate in the direction of force. Therefore, force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.</span>

Shalnov [3]
Speed uses distance and velocity uses displacement in its calculation.

For 100 m race, distance = displacement. Hence speed = velocity

For 400m race, distance ≠ displacement. distance = 400m whereas displacement = 0m. Hence speed ≠ velocity

A 1.5-kg ball is throw at 10 m/s. What is the balls momentum?
alexdok [17]

Answer : The momentum of ball is, 15 kg.m/s

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:

where,  

p = momentum  = ?

m = mass  = 1.5 kg

v = velocity = 10 m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Therefore, the momentum of ball is 15 kg.m/s
