A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wavecrest passes, five more crests pass in a time of 50.0 s. Thed

istance between two successive crests is 32 m. Determine, ifpossible, the wave’s (a) period, (b) frequency, (c) wavelength, (d) speed, and (e) amplitude. If it is not possible todetermine any of these quantities, then so state.I gotT=50/5 = 10sf=1/T = 0.1Hzv=f/lamda = 0.1/32 = 4.93m/s

Answer:

(a) T = 10 s

(b) f = 0.1 Hz

(c) λ = 32 m

(d) v = 3.2 m/s

(e) Insufficient data

Explanation:

(a)

Time period is defined as the time interval required for one wave to pass. Therefore, the time period can be given as:

T = Period = Time Taken/No. of Waves

T = 50 s/5

<u>T = 10 s</u>

<u></u>

(b)

Frequency is the reciprocal of time period:

f = frequency = 1/T

f = 1/10 s

<u>f = 0.1 Hz</u>

<u></u>

(c)

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs:

<u>λ = Wavelength = 32 m</u>

<u></u>

(d)

Speed of wave is given by the following formula:

Speed = v = fλ

v = (0.1 Hz)(32 m)

v = 3.2 m/s

(e)

Amplitude cannot be found with given data.

When monochromatic light shines perpendicularly on a soap film (n = 1.33) with air on each side, the second smallest nonzero fil
Anika [276]

Let us start from considering monochromatic light as an incidence on the film of a thickness t whose material has an index of refraction n determined by their respective properties.

From this point of view part of the light will be reflated and the other will be transmitted to the thin film. That additional distance traveled by the ray that was reflected from the bottom will be twice the thickness of the thin film at the point where the light strikes. Therefore, this relation of phase differences and additional distance can be expressed mathematically as

2t + \frac{1}{2} \lambda_{film} = (m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda_{film}

We are given the second smallest nonzero thickness at which destructive interference occurs.

This corresponds to, m = 2, therefore

2t = 2\lambda_{film}

t = \lambda_{film}

The index of refraction of soap is given, then

\lambda_{film} = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Combining the results of all steps we get

t = \frac{\lambda_{vacuum}}{n}

Rearranging, we find

\lambda_{vacuum} = tn

\lambda_{vacuum} = (278)(1.33)

\lambda_{vacuum} = 369.74nm

A particle that carries a net charge of -41.8 μc is held in a region of constant, uniform electric field. the electric field vec
miss Akunina [59]
The total work done by the electric field on the charge is given by the scalar product between the electric force acting on the charge and the displacement of the charge:
W=F d cos \theta
where the force is F=qE, d=0.556 and \theta=55.2^{\circ}. Using the value of q and E given by the problem, we find
W=qEdcos\theta = 6.39\cdot10^{-5}J

The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depends on which quantities?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

D. the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Explanation:

Gravitation is a force, a force doesn't care about the shape or density of objects, only about their masses... and distances.

And you can get it using the following equation:

f = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{d^{2} }

Where :

G is the universal gravitational constant : G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2

m represent the mass of each of the two objects

d is the distance between the centers of the objects.
