The amplitude of the wave would be 5 meters.

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.

The magnetic field of a long, straight, and closely-wound solenoid, inside the solenoid at a point near the center, is 0.645 T.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

B'=1.935 T

Explanation:

Given that

magnetic field ,B= 0.645 T

We know that magnetic filed in the solenoid is given as

$B=\mu _0 n\ I$

I=Current

n=Number of turn per unit length

μ0 =magnetic permeability

Now when the current increased by 3 factors

I'=3 I

Then the magnetic filed

$B'=\mu _0 n\ I'$

$B'=\mu _0 n\ (3I)$

B'=3 B

That is why

B' = 3 x 0.645 T

B'=1.935 T

Therefore the new magnetic filed will be 1.935 T.

When you strike two tuning forks simultaneously, you hear three beats per second. The frequency of the first tuning fork is 440

tekilochka [14]

Answer:4

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of beats is 3 beats per second

Frequency of first tuning fork is $f_1=440\ Hz$

Beat frequency is difference in the frequency of tuning forks i.e.

either $f_1-f_2$ or $f_2-f_1 =3$

so $f_2=3+440=443\ Hz$

$f_2=440-3=437\ Hz$

so there is not enough information given to decide.

Find the current i in:

lawyer [7]

Answer:

I = 24 A

Explanation:

This is Parallel Circuit and it is the first principle of parallel circuit that voltage will be equal in all components in the circuit

It includes 10 resistors Therefore the voltage across,

R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = R5 = R6 = R7 = R8 = R9 = R10 = voltage in battery

We will apply Ohm's Law to each resistor to find its current because we know the voltage across each resistor is 12 V and the resistance of each resistor is 5Ω

I (R1) = E (R1) / R1

I (R1) = 12v / 5Ω

I (R1) = 2.4 A

The value resistance E of all resistors are same therefore by applying the formula above the value of current in all resistors will be 2.4 A

The Total current in the circuit will be

I (total) = I (1) + I (2) + I (3) + I (4) + I (5) + I (6) + I (7) + I (8) + I (9) + I (10)

I (total) = 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4

I (total) = 24 A

When we apply the energy conversation principle to a cylinder rolling down an incline without sliding, we exclude the work done

NikAS [45]

Answer:

D. the linear velocity of the point of contact (relative to the inclined surface) is zero

Explanation:

The force of friction emerges only when there is relative velocity between two objects . In case of perfect rolling , there is no sliding so relative velocity between the surface and the point of contact is zero . In other words the velocity of point of contact becomes zero , even though , the whole body is in linear motion . It happens due point of contact having two velocities which are equal and opposite . One of the velocity is in forward direction and the other velocity which is due to rotation is in backward direction . So net velocity of point of contact becomes zero . Due to absence of sliding , displacement due to friction becomes zero . Hence work done by friction becomes zero.
