Ocean waves pass through two small openings, 20.0 m apart, in a breakwater. You're in a boat 70.0 m from the breakwater and init

ially midway between the openings, but the water is pretty rough. You row 33.0 m parallel to the breakwater and, for the second time, find yourself in relatively calm water. What is the wavelength of the ocean waves ?

Answer:

λ = 5.65m

Explanation:

The Path Difference Condition is given as:

δ=(m+\frac{1}{2})\frac{lamda}{n}  ;

where lamda is represent by the symbol (λ) and is the wavelength we are meant to calculate.

m = no of openings which is 2

∴δ= \frac{3*lamda}{2}

n is the index of refraction of the medium in which the wave is traveling

To find δ we have;

δ= \sqrt{70^2+(33+\frac{20}{2})^2 }-\sqrt{70^2+(33-\frac{20}{2})^2 }

δ= \sqrt{4900+(\frac{66+20}{2})^2}-\sqrt{4900+(\frac{66-20}{2})^2}

δ= \sqrt{4900+(\frac{86}{2})^2 }-\sqrt{4900+(\frac{46}{2})^2 }

δ= \sqrt{4900+43^2}-\sqrt{4900+23^2}

δ= \sqrt{4900+1849}-\sqrt{4900+529}

δ= \sqrt{6749}-\sqrt{5429}

δ=  82.15 -73.68

δ= 8.47

Again remember; to calculate the wavelength of the ocean waves; we have:

δ= \frac{3*lamda}{2}

δ= 8.47

8.47 = \frac{3*lamda}{2}

λ = \frac{8.47*2}{3}

λ = 5.65m

If a toy has a mass of 1 kg, it has an Earth weight of​
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The answer is 9.8 N

Explanation:

As we know that the weight of an object is the amount of gravitational force acting on the object in an upward direction if the weight is acting is the downward direction.

The formula of weight:

W = Mass x Gravitational force

W = m x g

Given data:

Mass =1 kg

g = 9.8 ms-2

W = 1kg x 9.8 ms-2 = 9.8 kgms-2 ( 1 kgms-2 = N)

SO,  

W = 9.8 N

The toy has an earth weight of 9.8 N.

Two charges, one of 2.50μC and the other of -3.50μC, are placed on the x-axis, one at the origin and the other at x = 0.600 m
aev [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

charge of first body q_1=2.5\ mu C

charge of second body q_2=-3.5\ mu C

Particle 1 is at origin and particle 2 is at x=0.6\ m

third Particle which charge +q must be placed left of 2.5\mu C because it will repel the q charge while -3.5\mu C will attract it

suppose it is placed at a distance of x m

F_{1q}=\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}

F_{2q}=\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}

F_{1q}+F_{2q}=0

\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}+\frac{kq(-3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}=0

\frac{kq(2.5)}{x^2}=\frac{kq(3.5)}{(0.6+x)^2}

\frac{0.6+x}{x}=(\frac{3.5}{2.5})^{0.5}

0.6+x=1.1832x

x=3.27\ m
