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.

A force of 35 N acts on a ball for 0.2 s. If the ball is initially at rest:
olya-2409 [2.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to momentum and momentum on a body. Both are equivalent values but can be found through different expressions. The impulse is the product of the Force for time while the momentum is the product between the mass and the velocity. The result of these operations yields equivalent units.

PART A ) The Impulse  can be calculcated as follows

L= F\Delta t

Where,

F = Force

\Delta t =Change in time

Replacing,

L = (35N)(0.2s)

L= 7N\cdot s

PART B) At the same time the momentum follows the conservation of momentum where:

Initial momentum= Final momentum

And the change in momentum is equal to the Impulse, then

\Delta p = L

And

\Delta p = p_f - p_i

There is not initial momentum then

\Delta p = p_f

L = p_f

p_f = 7N\cdot s = 7kg\cdot m/s

Your starship, the Aimless Wanderer,lands on the mysterious planet Mongo. As chief scientist-engineer,you make the following mea
Setler [38]

Answer:

a)  M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg ,  b)   T = 1.43 10³ s

Explanation:

a) This exercise should be solved in several parts, let's start by calculating the acceleration of gravity of this planet from kinematics

          v = v₀ - a t

As it indicates that there is no atmosphere, the friction force is zero and the initial and final velocity have the same module, but the opposite direction

         a = (v₀ - v) / t

         a = (15 - (-15)) /9.00 = 30/9

         a = 3.33 m / s²

Now we use Newton's second law where force is the force of universal attraction

          F = m a

         G m M / r² = m a

         M = a r² / G

Let's calculate

         M = 3.33 (1.00 10⁵)² / 6.67 10⁻¹¹

         M = 4,997 10²⁰ kg

b) The period of the ship's orbit

In this case we have a centripetal acceleration

The radius of the orbit is the radius of the plant plus the height of the ship from the surface

         R = R_{m} + h

         R = 1 10⁵ + 2.00 10⁴

         R = 12 10⁴ m

         F = m a

        G m M / R² = m a

Centripetal acceleration is

         a = v² / R

The orbit is circular therefore the velocity module is constant, so we can use the equation of uniform motion, where the distance is the length of the orbit, for a circle

        d = 2π R

        v = d / t

        v = 2π R / T

Let's replace

        G m M / R² = m (2π R / T)² / R

        G M = R³ 4π² / T²

        T² = 4π² R³ / G M

       T² = (4π² (12 10⁴)³ / (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 4,997 10²⁰)

       T² = 6.82 10¹⁶ / 3.33 10¹⁰

       T = √ (2,048 10⁶)

       T = 1.43 10³ s

A thin Nichrome wire connected to an ammeter surrounds a region of time-varying magnetic flux, and the ammeter reads 13 amperes.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The current would be same in both situation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current I = 13 A

Number of turns = 23

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf is

\epsilon=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}

For N = 1

\epsilon=A\dfrac{dB}{dt}

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

i=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}

Put the value of emf

i=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}

Now, if the number of turn is 22 , then induced emf would be

\epsilon'=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}

Then the current would be

i'=\dfrac{\epsilon'}{NR}

i'=\dfrac{NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{NR}

i'=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}

i'=i

Hence, The current would be same in both situation.
