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}

An object in space is initially stationary relative to the Earth. Then, a force begins acting on the object, starting with a for

Answer:

v_f =63 m/s

Explanation:

given,

starting force = 0 N

uniform rate increase to 36 N

time of action of Force = 35 s

mass of the body = 10 Kg

Speed of the object = ?

From the given data

if we plot F-t curve  we will get a triangular shape

we know,

Impulse = Area between F-t curve

            = (1/2) x base x height

             = 0.5 x 35 x 36

             = 630 N.s

now use Impulse-momentum theorem

Impulse = change in momentum

630 = 10 x (v_f - vi)

630 = 10 x (v_f - 0)

v_f =63 m/s

Speed of the object at 35 sec is equal to v_f =63 m/s
