Answer:

Amplitude, A = 5 m                    

Explanation:

It is given that, the vertical height of an ocean from a crest to trough is 10 meters.

The attached figure shows the vertical height from a crest to a trough is 10 m. We know that the maximum displacement of the wave is called its amplitude. A represents the amplitude of wave. It is the distance from the baseline to the crest or to the trough.

So, the amplitude of the ocean wave must be equal to half of wave's height i.e. 10/2 = 5 meters.

2. Two charges are attracted to each other with a force of eight units. If the charge of one of the two
azamat

Answer:

16

Explanation:

The formula for the force of attraction between two charges is \frac{k\cdot q_1q_2}{r^2}, where k is a constant, q_1 is the first charge, and q_2 is the second charge. As you can see, if the radius or distance increases by 2, the force decreases by 4 because it grows exponentially. However, if the charge of one of the particles increases by 2, the force between the two also increases by 2. Therefore, the new force will be 8*2=16. Hope this helps!

A man of mass 50kg ascends a flight of stairs 5m high in 5 seconds. If acceleration due to gravity is 10ms-2, the power expended
Setler79 [48]

The power expended is 500 W

Explanation:

First of all, we start by calculating the work done by the man in order to ascend: this is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the man, which is

W=mg\Delta h

where

m = 50 kg is the mass of the man

g=10 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\Delta h = 5 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(50)(10)(5)=2500 J

Now we can calculate the power expended, which is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W = 2500 J is the work done

t = 5 s is the time elapsed

Substituting, we find

P=\frac{2500}{5}=500 W

A sound from a source has an intensity of 270 db when it is 1 m from the source. what is the intensity of the sound when it is 3
Lina20 [59]
Sound intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source and the receiver.
That is 
I = k/r^2
 where
 k = constant
 r = radius

When r=1,  the intensity is I₁ = k/1 = k
When r=3, the intensity I₂ = k/3² = k/9
Therefore
 I₂ = I₁ /9

In decibels,
I = 10 log₁₀(I/I₀)
where I₀ = reference intensity

When r=1,
10 log₁₀ (I₁/I₀) = 270

When r =3,
10 log₁₀ (I₂/I₀) = 10 log₁₀ [(I₂/I₁)*(I₁/I₀)]
                     = 10 log₁₀ [(1/9)*(I₁/I₀)]
                     = 10 log₁₀(1/9) + 270
                     = 260.5

Answer: 260.5 dB (nearest tenth)
