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.

a circuit contains 2 ohm and 4 ohm resistors connected in parallel, find the total resistance & the amount of current in eac
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Resistance

R = R1 * R2 / (R1 + R2)

R1 = 2

R2 = 4

R = 2*4 / (2 + 4)

R = 8 / 6

R = 1.3333

Current R1

R1 = 2 ohms

V = 12 volts

I = ?

V = I * R

12  = I * 2

12/2 = I

I = 6 amperes.

Current R2

V = 12 volts

R = 4 ohms

I = ?

V = I * R

12 = I * 4

12/4 = I

I = 3 amps

A 2kg box is pushed along a flat frictionless surface with an applied force of 53.91newton j+19.62 j were j is horizontal and j
tamaranim1 [39]

Since the box doesn't move vertically at all, no work is done by the vertical component of the force.

If 53.91 Newtons is the horizontal component of the force (very unclear in the question), then the work done is

<u>Work = (force) x (distance)</u>

Work = (53.91 N) x (10 m)

<em>Work = 539.1 Joules</em>

<u>Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)</u>

Power = (539.1 joules) / (90 sec)

Power = (539.1/90) (joule/sec)

<em>Power = 5.99 watts</em>

=====================================

Note:  If the mass of the box is only 2 kg, and you push it along the surface with a constant force of 53⁺ Newtons, and the surface really is frictionless, then that box is gonna cover a WHOOOOOLE LOT more than 10 meters in 90 seconds.  I get 109,168 meters !

11. A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his acceleration ? Is this acceleration higher than that of
Marat540 [252]

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

the acceleration of the cyclist is

\frac{10 - 0}{3}  = 3.333333....

approximately 3.33 m/s^2

the acceleration of the car is

\frac{40 - 0 }{8}  = 5.0

5.0 m/s^2

5.0 > 3.33 \\ so \:  the \: answer  \: is \: no
