A wave on the ocean surface with wavelength 44 m travels east at a speed of 18 m/s relative to the ocean floor. If, on this stre

Answer:

A)t=<u>1.375s</u>

B)t=11s

Explanation:

for this problem we will assume that the east is positive while the west is negative, what we must do is find the relative speed between the wave and the powerboat, and then with the distance find the time for each case

ecuations

V=Vw-Vp  (1)

V= relative speed

Vw= speed of wave

Vp=Speesd

t=X/V(2)

t=time

x=distance=44m

A) the powerboat moves to west

V=18-(-14)=32m/s

t=44/32=<u>1.375s</u>

B)the powerboat moves to east

V=18-14=4

t=44/4=<u>11s</u>

Two factor that affect gravitational force​
Gnoma [55]
When dealing with the force of gravity between two objects, there are only two things that are important – mass, and distance. The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them.

1-Find the gravitational force
butalik [34]

g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant and is about 6.67 * 10^{-11}

g = \frac{6.67 * 10^{-11} * 25 * 0.55}{35^2}

g = \frac{6.67 * 10^{-11} * 25 * 0.55}{1225} = 0.000000000000749 N :D
