A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes, five more crests pass in a time of 54.0 s. The

distance between two successive crests is 36 m. Determine, if possible, the following properties of the wave. (If not possible, enter NOT POSSIBLE.)

Answer:

a) f=0.1 Hz ; b) T=10s

c)λ= 36m

d)v=3.6m/s

e)amplitude, cannot be determined

Explanation:

Complete question is:

Determine, if possible, the wave's (a) frequency, (b) period, (c) wavelength, (d) speed, and (e) amplitude.

Given:

number of wave crests 'n'= 5

pass in a time't' 54.0s

distance between two successive crests 'd'= 36m

a) Frequency of the waves 'f' can be determined by dividing number of wave crests with time, so we have

f=n/t

f= 5/ 54 => 0.1Hz

b)The time period of wave 'T' is the reciprocal of the frequency

therefore,

T=1/f

T=1/0.1

T=10 sec.

c)wavelength'λ' is the distance between two successive crests i.e 36m

Therefore, λ= 36m

d) speed of the wave 'v' can be determined by the product of frequency and wavelength

v= fλ => 0.1 x 36

v=3.6m/s

e) For amplitude, no data is given in this question. So, it cannot be determined.

What is the purpose of experimentation in a research study
Nat2105 [25]
Hello,

The answer is to "prove your hypothesis".

Reason:

Researchers do experiments to prove there hypothesis they will most likely do the experiment a few times in older to have the conclusion valid therefore proving his or her experiment. 

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

A fossil form when an organism buried in sediment dissolves leaving a hollow area
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

A Mold

Explanation:

A mold forms when hard parts of an organism are buried in sediment; the hard parts completely dissolve over time, leaving behind a hollow area. A cast forms as a result of a mold when minerals and sediment fill in the impression.
