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

An energy source forces a constant current of 2A to flow through a light bulbfilament for twenty seconds. If 4.6 kJ is given off
QveST [7]

Answer:

The voltage drop across the bulb is 115 V

Explanation:

The voltage drop equation is given by:

V=\frac{\Delta W}{\Delta q}

Where:

ΔW is the total work done (4.6kJ)

Δq is the total charge

We need to use the definition of electric current to find Δq

I=\frac{\Delta q}{\Delta t}

Where:

I is the current (2 A)

Δt is the time (20 s)

2=\frac{\Delta q}{20}

q=40 C

Then, we can put this value of charge in the voltage equation.

V=\frac{4600}{40}=115 V

Therefore, the voltage drop across the bulb is 115 V.

I hope it helps you!

Suppose you have two identical sheets of paper and you crumple one of the sheets of paper into a ball. If you drop the crumpled
sammy [17]

Answer:

Because it can easily resist air resistance.

Explanation:

Since air resistance is not negligible, the crumpled paper will reach the ground first because it can easily resist air resistance surrounding it compare to the un-crumpled one that will be influenced by the air thereby causing the un-crumpled paper to spend more time in the air

You are standing on a large sheet of frictionless ice and holding a large rock. In order to get off the ice, you throw the rock
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

0.4778 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will make use of law of conservation of momentum.

We are given that the rock's velocity is 12 m/s at 35°. Thus, the horizontal component of this velocity is;

V_x = (12 m/s)(cos(35°)) = 9.83 m/s.

Thus, the horizontal component of the rock's momentum is;

(3.5 kg)(9.83 m/s) = 34.405 kg·m/s.

Since the person is not pushed up off the ice or down into it, his momentum will have no vertical component and so his momentum will have the same magnitude as the horizontal component of the rock's momentum.

Thus, to get the person's speed, we know that; momentum = mass x velocity

Mass of person = 72 kg and we have momentum as 34.405 kg·m/s

Thus;

34.405 = 72 x velocity

Velocity = 34.405/72

Velocity = 0.4778 m/s
