Alexus [3.1K]3 years ago

A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,

Explanation :

The height of the wave is defined as the elevation of the crest minus the elevation of the trough.

or

The wave height is defined as the twice of the amplitude.

It is given that the amplitude of the wave is 4 feet. The height of the wave is given as :

H=2a

Where a is the amplitude of the wave.

So, H = 8 feet.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two boxes (24 kg and 62 kg) are being pushed across a horizontal frictionless surface, as the drawing shows. The 36-N pushing fo
defon

Answer:

F = 26.04 N

Explanation:

As we know that system of two boxes are moving on frictionless surface

So here if two boxes are considered as a system

then we have

F = (m_1 + m_2) a

m_1 = 24 kg

m_2 = 62 kg

F = 36 N

36 = (24 + 62) a

a = 0.42 m/s^2

Now since we know that both the boxes are moving together so force applied by first box on other box is given as

F = ma

F = (62 \times 0.42)

F = 26.04 N

3. Atmospheric pressure is often given in units of millimeters of mercury. This refers to the height of a mercury column above t
gregori [183]

Answer:

101397.16 pa

Explanation:

The pressure recorded will be equal to pgh

Where p = density of mercury = 13.6x10^3 kg/m^ 3

g = acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/s^2

h = height of mercury in the column = 760 mm = 760x10^-3 m

Pressure = 13.6x10^3 x 9.81 x 760x10^-3 = 101397.16 pa
