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

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

f(x)=a(x - h)2 + k

Much like a linear function, k works like b in the slope-intercept formula. Like where add or subtract b would determine where the line crosses, in the linear, k determines the vertex of the parabola. If you're going to go up 2, then you need to add 2.

The h determines the movement horizontally. what you put in h determines if it moves left or right. To adjust this, you need to find the number to make the parentheses equal 0 when x equals -2 (because moving the vertex point to the left means subtraction/negatives):

x - h = 0

-2 - h = 0

-h = 2

h = -2

So the function ends up looking like:

f(x)=a(x - (-2))2 + 2

Subtracting a negative cancels the signs out to make a positive:

f(x)=a(x + 2)2 + 2Explanation:

What is a newton defined as<br>​
slava [35]

Answer:

Newton, absolute unit of force in the International System of Units (SI units), abbreviated N. It is defined as that force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one metre per second per second.

A 25 kg ball is thrown into the air when thrown it's going 10 m/s calculate how high it travels
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² downward.
So any object with only gravity acting on it gains 9.8 m/s of
downward speed every second.

If the rock starts out moving upward at 10 m/s, then it will
continue upward for only  (10/9.8) = 1.02 second, before
it stops rising and starts falling.

Its average speed during that time is  (1/2) (10 + 0) = 5 m/s .

At an average speed of 5 m/s for 1.02 sec,
the rock rises

                   (5 m/s) x (1.02 sec)  =  5.102 meters .
