A key falls from a bridge that is 32 m above the water. It falls directly into a model boat, moving with constant velocity, that

was 11 m from the point of impact when the key was released. What is the speed of the boat?

Answer:

Speed of the boat, v = 4.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge, h = 32 m

The model boat is 11 m from the point of impact when the key was released, d = 11 m

Firstly, we will find the time needed for the boat to get in this position using second equation of motion as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, u = 0 and a = g

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 32}{9.8}}

t = 2.55 seconds

Let v is the speed of the boat. It can be calculated as :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

v=\dfrac{11\ m}{2.55\ s}

v = 4.31 m/s

So, the speed of the boat is 4.31 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A type of energy embodied in oscillating electric and magnetic fields is called
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: Electromagnetic radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space carrying energy from one place to another.

To understand it better:

This radiation is spread thanks to the electromagnetic fields produced by moving electric charges and their sources can be natural or man-made.

It should be noted that the energy of electromagnetic radiation can vary and depending on its frequency it can be useful for various situations.

Reflection: a change in direction of a wave at a boundary between two different media.
sentence: i saw my reflection in the mirror.

refraction: the bending of light as it passes from one transparent substance into another.
sentence: when light goes through glass, it’s a refraction.

diffraction: the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle.
sentence: spaced tracks on a CD act as a diffraction.

absorption: the process or action by which one thing absorbs or is absorbed by another.
sentence: heat waves hitting the beach usually give most of their energy to the sand.

interference: when two waves lay on each other and their energies are either added together or cancelled out.
sentence: interference waves can be observed with all types of waves.

standing wave: two waves moving in opposite directions. they both have the same amplitude or frequency.
sentence: plucking the string of a guitar is an example of standing waves.

resonance: increased amplitude that occurs when the frequency of a force is equal or close to a natural frequency.
sentence:a buzz in your car that only occurs at a certain speed is an example or resonance.

Wave A has an amplitude of 2 and wave B has an amplitude of 2 as shown below. What will happen when the crest of wave A meets th
puteri [66]
Since the two waves have equal amplitudes, if the crest of one wave
meets the trough of the other one, they'll add to produce a level of zero
at that location.

Ml(d^2θ/dt^2) =-mgθ
Nata [24]

The equation of motion of a pendulum is:

\dfrac{\textrm{d}^2\theta}{\textrm{d}t^2} = -\dfrac{g}{\ell}\sin\theta,

where \ell it its length and g is the gravitational acceleration. Notice that the mass is absent from the equation! This is quite hard to solve, but for <em>small</em> angles (\theta \ll 1), we can use:

\sin\theta \simeq \theta.

Additionally, let us define:

\omega^2\equiv\dfrac{g}{\ell}.

We can now write:

\dfrac{\textrm{d}^2\theta}{\textrm{d}t^2} = -\omega^2\theta.

The solution to this differential equation is:

\theta(t) = A\sin(\omega t + \phi),

where A and \phi are constants to be determined using the initial conditions. Notice that they will not have any influence on the period, since it is given simply by:

T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{\ell}}.

This justifies that the period depends only on the pendulum's length.
