"As you sit in a fishing boat, you notice that 12 waves pass the boat every 45 s. If the distance from one crest to the next is

9.2 m , what is the speed of these waves?"
Physics

Answer:

2.4564 m/s

Explanation:

Number of waves in 1 second

\dfrac{12}{45}=0.267\ Hz

This is the frequency 0.267 Hz

The distance mentioned in the question is the

\lambda = Wavelength = 9.2 m

The speed of wave is

v=f\lambda

\Rightarrow v=0.267\times 9.2

\Rightarrow v=2.4564\ m/s

The speed of the wave is 2.4564 m/s

Describe two examples of how humans use electromagnetic waves.
Alex73 [517]
Electromagnetic waves are used in everyday life. You are looking at your computer screen right now. The light that is coming off of the screen is visible light, a form of electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves are also used to send information. For example, AM or FM radios are radio waves that transfer sound information to your local radio.

Which describes how to generate a real image of an object using a concave mirror?The object must be closer to the mirror than th
iren2701 [21]
In order to form a real image using a concave mirror, the object must be placed beyond the center of curvature of the mirror. Therefore, the object must be further from the mirror than the focal point. The image that will form will be real, but it will also be inverted and its magnification will be less than 1, meaning it will be smaller than the actual object.

Answer:

A. The applied force should be the same size as the friction force

Explanation:

Whenever we apply a force to an object it moves if the force applied to that object is unbalanced and there is no force or a lesser force to counter it. According to Newton's Second Law of motion, when an unbalanced force is applied to an object it produces an acceleration in the object in its own direction. So, the two forces acting on this box are the frictional force and the applied force in horizontal direction. In order to move the box at constant speed, the applied force must first, overcome the frictional force, so the object can start its motion. Since, the motion has constant velocity, it means no acceleration. So, the force must be balanced in order to avoid acceleration as a consequence of Newton's Second Law of motion. Therefore, the correction in this case will be:
