If a cruise ship is having troubles with buoyancy, then spread the weight of the ship over a greater volume.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation: </u>

Buoyancy is the upward thrusting phenomenon of water acting on any object immersed partially or fully in water body. Hence, it creates the buoyant forces that is inversely proportionate to the immersing body's density. If the immersing body's density is higher than the density of the immersing medium then the body will get completely immersed in the water.

Similarly, in case of less, the buoyant forces act on the body will prevent it from complete immersion and allow it to float on water. Mostly cruise ships and other navy vessels use this phenomenon to keep on floating on surface of water.

In the present condition, the solution for buoyancy problem faced by a cruise ship can be solved by decreasing the density of the ship. And the ship's density can be decreased by increasing the ship's volume or by spreading the ship's weight over a greater volume.

Infrared waves from the sun are what make our skin feel warm on a sunny day. If an infrared wave has a frequency of 3.0 x 1012 H
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of the infrared wave is <u>0.0001 m</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of an infrared wave is, f=3.0\times 10^{12}\ Hz

We know that, infrared waves are electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves travel with the same speed and their magnitude is equal to the speed of light in air.

So, speed of infrared waves coming from the Sun travels with the speed of light and thus its magnitude is given as:

v=c=3.0\times 10^8\ m/s

Where, 'v' is the speed of infrared waves and 'c' is the speed of light.

Now, we have a formula for the speed of any wave and is given as:

v=f\lambda

Where, \lambda \to \textrm{Wavelength of infrared wave}

Now, rewriting the above formula in terms of wavelength, \lambda, we get:

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

Now, plug in 3.0\times 10^8 for 'v', 3.0\times 10^{12} for 'f' and solve for  \lambda. This gives,

\lambda=\frac{3.0\times 10^8}{3.0\times 10^{12}}\\\\\lambda=0.0001\ m

Therefore, the wavelength of the infrared wave is 0.0001 m.

A simple harmonic oscillator has amplitude 0.43 m and period 3.9 sec. What is the maximum acceleration?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration in the simple harmonic motion will be 0.854rad/sec^2              

Explanation:

We have given amplitude of simple harmonic motion is A = 0.43 m

Time period of the oscillation is T = 3.9 sec

We have to find the maximum acceleration

For this we have to find the angular frequency

Angular frequency will be equal to \omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{3.9}=1.61rad/sec

Maximum acceleration is given by a_{max}=\omega ^2A=1.61^2\times 0.43=0.854rad/sec^2

So maximum acceleration in the simple harmonic motion will be 0.854rad/sec^2

This question is based on the fundamental assumption of  vector direction.

A vector is  a physical quantity which has  magnitude as well direction  for its complete specification.

The magnitude of a physical quantity is simply a  numerical number .Hence it can not be negative.

A negative vector is a vector which comes into existence when it is opposite to our assumed direction with respect to any other vector.  For instance, the vector is taken positive if it is along + X axis and negative if it is along - X axis.

As per the first option it is given that a vector is negative if its magnitude is greater than 1. It is not correct as magnitude play no role in it.

The second option tells that the magnitude of the vector is less than 1. Magnitude can not be negative. So this is also wrong.

Third one tells that a vector is negative if its displacement is along north. It does not give any detail information about the negativity of a vector.

In a general sense we assume that vertically downward motion  is negative and vertically upward is positive. In case of a falling object the motion is  vertically downward. So the velocity of that object is negative .

So last   option is  partially  correct  as  the vector can be negative depending on our choice of co-ordinate system.
