Water waves in a small tank are .06 m long. They pass a given point at a rate of 14.8 waves every three seconds. What is the spe

ed of the water waves? What is the period of these water waves?

Answer:

Speed = 0.296m/2

Period = 0.203 s

Explanation:

If by 'long' you mean the wavelength of the waves, then the wavelength $\lambda=0.06m$ .

The frequency $f$ of the waves is 14.8 waves every 3 seconds or

$f=14.8/3 =4.33Hz$ .

Now the relationship between wavelength $\lambda$ , frequency $f$ and speed $v$ of the waves is:

$v=\lambda f$

We put in the values $\lambda=0.06m$ and $f=4.933Hz$ and get:

$\boxed{v=0.06*4.922=0.296m/s}$

Now the period $T$ is just the inverse of the frequency, or

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

$\boxed{T=\frac{1}{4.933}=0.203\:seconds }$

A train car with mass m1 = 515 kg is moving to the right with a speed of v1 = 7.5 m/s and collides with a second train car. The

Anna [14]

Answer:

For the first situation, we first need to find the mass of the second train car.

In order to do that, we apply the conservation of the amount of movement:

$515*7.5+m2*0=(m1+m2)*4.8$

and we have as a result:

m2 = 289.6875

For the second situation, also we will apply the conservation of the amount of movement:

$515*7.5-289.6875*6 = (515+289.6875)*V$

and we have as a result:

V = 2.64 (it is moving to the right)

To determine the height of a flagpole, Abby throws a ball straight up and times it. She sees that the ball goes by the top of th

Kryger [21]

Answer:

$H = 10.05 m$

Explanation:

If the stone will reach the top position of flag pole at t = 0.5 s and t = 4.1 s

so here the total time of the motion above the top point of pole is given as

$\Delta t = 4.1 - 0.5 = 3.6 s$

now we have

$\Delta t = \frac{2v}{g}$

$3.6 = \frac{2v}{9.8}$

$v = 17.64 m/s$

so this is the speed at the top of flag pole

now we have

$v_f - v_i = at$

$17.64 - v_i = (-9.8)(0.5)$

$v_i = 22.5 m/s$

now the height of flag pole is given as

$H = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2}t$

$H = \frac{22.5 + 17.64}{2} (0.5)$

$H = 10.05 m$

Which phrase best describes wave motion?

Fittoniya [83]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Wave motion is a movement of energy through space or a medium . Some waves are visible light waves, heat waves, sound waves and the like. Hope this answers the question.

Water flowing through a cylindrical pipe suddenly comes to a section of pipe where the diameter decreases to 86% of its previous

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of the water in the large section of the pipe is not stated

so i will assume 36m/s

(if its not the said speed, input the figure of your speed and you get it right)

Continuity equation is applicable for ideal, incompressible liquids

Q the flux of water that is Av with A the cross section area and v the velocity,

so,

$A_1V_1=A_2V_2$

$A_{1}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2} \\\\ A_{2}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}$

the diameter decreases 86% so

$d_2 = 0.86d_1$

$v_{2}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}v_{1}}{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}}\\\\=\frac{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}}v_{1}}{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}}(0.86\cancel{d_{1}})^{2}}\\\\\approx1.35v_{1} \\\\v_{2}\approx(1.35)(38)\\\\\approx48.6\,\frac{m}{s}$

Thus, speed in smaller section is 48.6 m/s
