A fisherman sees his boat moving up and down, owing to waves on the water. It takes 2.5 s for the boat to travel from its highes

t to lowest point, a distance of 0.62 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 6 m apart. How fast are the waves traveling?

Answer:

The waves are traveling in a speed of

v=1.20 m/s

Explanation:

The fisherman see a wave at 6m apart so that's the wavelength

L=6m

Now the period is the time between two successive waves so

t=2*2.5s=5s

The velocity of the waves is describe by:

v=f*L

f=\frac{1}{t}=\frac{1}{5s}=20s^{-1}

v=0.20s^{-1}*6m

v=1.20 \frac{m}{s}

A boy can swim 3.0 meter a second in still water while trying to swim directly across a river from west to east, he is pulled by
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Angle: 48.19^o

Explanation:

<u>Two-Dimension Motion</u>

When the object is moving in one plane, the velocity, acceleration, and displacement are vectors. Apart from the magnitudes, we also need to find the direction, often expressed as an angle respect to some reference.

Our boy can swim at 3 m/s from west to east in still water and the river he's attempting to cross interacts with him at 2 m/s southwards. The boy will move east and south and will reach the other shore at a certain distance to the south from where he started. It happens because there is a vertical component of his velocity that is not compensated.

To compensate for the vertical component of the boy's speed, he only has to swim at a certain angle east of the north (respect to the shoreline). The goal is to make the boy's y component of his velocity equal to the velocity of the river. The vertical component of the boy's velocity is

v_b\ cos\alpha

where v_b is the speed of the boy in still water and \alpha is the angle respect to the shoreline. If the river flows at speed v_s, we now set

v_b\ cos\alpha=v_s

\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{v_s}{v_b}=\frac{2}{3}

\alpha=48.19^o

A dielectric-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plate area A = 30.0 cm2 , plate separation d = 9.00 mm and dielectric constant
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

9.96\cdot 10^{-10}J

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=\epsilon_0 k \frac{A}{d}

where

ϵ0 = 8.85x10-12 C2/N.m2 is the vacuum permittivity

k = 3.00 is the dielectric constant

A=30.0 cm^2 = 30.0\cdot 10^{-4}m^2 is the area of the plates

d = 9.00 mm = 0.009 m is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)(3.00 ) \frac{30.0\cdot 10^{-4} m^2}{0.009 m}=8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F

Now we can calculate the energy of the capacitor, given by:

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance

V = 15.0 V is the potential difference

Substituting,

U=\frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F)(15.0 V)^2=9.96\cdot 10^{-10}J

A man walks 30 m to the west than 5 m to the east in 45 seconds.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

35 m

0.56 m/s west

Explanation:

A) Total distance is the length of the path taken.

30 m + 5 m = 35 m

B) Velocity is displacement over time.  Displacement is the difference between the final position and the initial position.

If west is -x, and east is +x, then:

Δx = -30 m + 5 m

Δx = -25 m

v = Δx / t

v = -25 m / 45 s

v = -0.56 m/s

v = 0.56 m/s west

Candace is interested in learning more about colors. Which question about colors could be answered through scientific investigat
NeTakaya
Hi!

I believe that there were the following options in this question:

<span>A) Which color bends the most to make a rainbow?
B) What color of scented marker has the best smell?
 C) Which flower has the prettiest shade of purple on its petals?
 D) What is the best-looking color on a high-performance sports car</span>

Now, options b), c) and d) are about a personal preference and opinion - they are not scientific uqestions.
The correct answer is a) - it asks about the properties of light.
