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

A person drops a pebble of mass m1 from a height h, and it hits the floor with kinetic energy KE. The person drops another pebbl
Leona [35]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Hello, </em>

<h3><u>QUESTION)</u></h3>

<em>✔ We have: KE = PE (potential energy) </em>

<em>PE = m x g x h </em>

The potential energy that the pebble of mass 1 has is called PE1 and the potential energy that the pebble of mass 2 has is called PE2  

PE1 = PE2 ⇔ PE1/PE2 = 1

\frac{m_1\times g\times h}{m_2\times g\times 4h} = 1 \\ \\  \frac{m_1}{m_2\times 4} = 1 \\ \\  \frac{m_1}{m_2} = 4

The mass m1 is therefore 4 times greater than that of the stone of mass m2.

What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500
padilas [110]

Answer:

I = 1.21x10^-5 A

Explanation:

You are missing the first part of the problem. This is an example, but it will give you the idea of how to solve yours with your data.

The first part is like this:

<em>A      4.0 cm  diameter parallel plate capacitor has a  0.44 m  m    gap. What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000 V/s?</em>

Now with this, we can solve the problem.

In order to do this, we need to use the following expression:

q = CV (1)

Where:

C: Capacitance of a parellel capacitor (in Faraday)

q: charge of plate or capacitor (In coulombs)

V: voltage in Volts.

However, we need is the current, and we have data of potential difference, so, all we have to do is divide the expression between time so:

q/t = CV/t

And the current is q/t, thus:

I = C * V/t (2)

And finally, Capacitance C with two plates of area A separated by a distance d is:

C = Eo*A/d (3)

Where:

Eo = constant equals to 8.85x10^-12 F/m.

A = Area of the plate, in this case, πr²

d = gap of the capacitor.

Let's calculate first the Capacitance using equation (3):

C = 8.85x10^-12 * π * (0.04/2)² / 0.00046 = 2.42x10^-11 F

Now, it's time to use equation (2) and solve for I:

I = 2.42x10^-11 * 500,000

I = 1.21x10^-5 A

You drop your frozen rock from a green bridge. The frozen rock starts from rest (initial velocity = 0ms). The rock takes 4.3s to
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The velocity of the frozen rock at t = 1.5\,s is -14.711 meters per second.

Explanation:

The frozen rock experiments a free fall, which is a type of uniform accelerated motion due to gravity and air viscosity and earth's rotation effect are neglected. In this case, we need to find the final velocity (v), measured in meters per second, of the frozen rock at given instant and whose kinematic formula is:

v = v_{o} + g\cdot t (Eq. 1)

Where:

v_{o} - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

g - Gravity acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If we get that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and 1.5\,s, then final velocity is:

v = 0\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (1.5\,s)

v = -14.711\,\frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the frozen rock at t = 1.5\,s is -14.711 meters per second.
