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.

Which statement best describes the movement of electrical current when a capacitor is used in a circuit?
Masteriza [31]

Answer: B.

Capacitors prevent current from moving through a circuit 

Explanation:

If a direct voltage is applied on the capacitor, no conduction current flows through the capacitor if its insulating medium is perfect insulator. This is due to the fact that there are no free charge carriers in such medium. Basically the real insulator contains very few charge carriers and therefore a very small leakage current passes in the capacitor depending on the conductivity of the insulator.

If an alternating voltage is applied on the capacitor, a displacement current passes through the capacitor irrespective of the insulating medium. This current is termed also the capacitive current. It flows because of changing electric displacement with time.

An eastbound car travels a displacement of 80.0 Km in 45 minutes. What is the velocity
alexgriva [62]

Explanation:

d= 80km = 8000m

t = 45 min = 45/60 h

= 0.75 h

V= ?

we know that,

V = d /t

or,V= 80 km / 0.75 h

  1. or, V= 106.67 km/hr

or,V= 106.67×1000m / 3600 s

2. or, V= 29.63 m/s

Notice that all the initial spring potential energy was transformed into gravitational potential energy. If you compressed the s
Nostrana [21]

<u><em>The  question doesn't provide enough data to be solved, but I'm assuming some magnitudes to help you to solve your own problem</em></u>

Answer:

<em>The maximum height is 0.10 meters</em>

Explanation:

<u>Energy Transformation</u>

It's referred to as the change of one energy from one form to another or others. If we compress a spring and then release it with an object being launched on top of it, all the spring (elastic) potential energy is transformed into kinetic and gravitational energies. When the object stops in the air, all the initial energy is now gravitational potential energy.

If a spring of constant K is compressed a distance x, its potential energy is

\displaystyle P_E=\frac{Kx^2}{2}

When the launched object (mass m) reaches its max height h, all that energy is now gravitational, which is computed as

U=mgh

We have then,

U=P_E

\displaystyle mgh=\frac{Kx^2}{2}

Solving for h

\displaystyle h=\frac{Kx^2}{2mg}

We have little data to work on the problem, so we'll assume some values to answer the question and help to solve the problem at hand

Let's say: x=0.2 m (given), K=100 N/m, m=2 kg

Computing the maximum height

\displaystyle h=\frac{(100)0.2^2}{2(2)(9.8)}

\displaystyle h=\frac{4}{39.2}=0,10\ m

The maximum height is 0.10 meters
