5. A person fishing from a pier observes that four wave crests pass by in 7.0 s and estimates that the distance between two succ

essive crests is 4.0 m. The timing starts with the first crest and ends with the fourth. What is the speed of the wave? BBoldIItalicsUUnderlineBulleted listNumbered listSuperscriptSubscript

Answer:

v= 1.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between two successive crests = 4.0 m

 λ = 4 m

T= 7 sec

T is the time between 3 waves.

3 waves = 7 sec

1 wave = 7 /3 sec

So t= 7/3 s

We know that frequency f

f= 1/t= 3/7 Hz

Lets take speed of the wave is v

v= f λ

f=frequency

λ=wavelength

v= 3/7 x 4 = 12 /7

v= 1.71 m/s

Which statements provides evidence that the earth revolves around the sun
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Different star constellations are visible from Earth at different seasons of the year.

Explanation:

The reason the fact that we can see different constellations in the sky during different seasons on earth is the most compelling reason we travel around the sun is because if the sun travelled around the earth, certain constellations would only be visible in certain places. You’d have to travel to see certain ones.

However, you don’t have to do that because we travel around the sun, therefore travelling around other stars too.

What is an ideal diode? a. The ideal diode acts as an open circuit for forward currents and as a short circuit with reverse volt
Serhud [2]

Answer:

d.  The ideal diode acts as a short circuit for forward currents and as an open circuit with reverse voltage applied.

Explanation:

Ideal diode acts like an ideal conductor. In case of forward voltage it acts like an ideal conductor. However when it is reverse biased then it behaves like an ideal insulator. You can understand it bu considering a switch. When the voltage is forward then ideal diode acts like a closed switch. When the voltage is reverse biased then ideal diode behaves like an open switch.

        That is why we can say that the ideal diode acts as a short circuit (higher conduction) for forward currents and as an open circuit ( zero conduction) with reverse voltage applied.

What's the difference and similarity between O2 and 2 O ?
nasty-shy [4]
O2 refers to two oxygen atoms bonded together, while 2 O refers to two oxygen atoms that are not bonded to each other. They both have two oxygen atoms, but in O2, the oxygen atoms are bonded, while in 2O, the atoms are not.
