Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s

If he leaves the ramp with a speed of 31.0 m/s and has a speed of 29.5 m/s at the top of his trajectory, determine his maximum h
raketka [301]

Answer:

The maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the man (u) = 31.0 m/s

Speed at the top of trajectory (u_x) = 29.5 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

When the man reaches the top of the trajectory, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero and hence only horizontal component of velocity acts on him.

Also, since there is no net force acting in the horizontal direction, the acceleration is zero in the horizontal direction from Newton's second law. Thus, the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

So, speed at the top of trajectory is nothing but the horizontal component of initial velocity.

Now, initial velocity can be rewritten in terms of its components as:

u^2=u_x^2+u_y^2

Where, u_x\ and\ u_y are the initial horizontal and vertical velocities of the man.

Now, plug in the given values and simplify. This gives,

(31.0)^2=(29.5)^2+u_y^2\\\\961=870.25+u_y^2\\\\u_y^2=961-870.25\\\\u_y^2=90.75\ m^2/s^2--------1

Now, we know that, for a projectile motion, the maximum height is given as:

H=\frac{u_y^2}{2g}

Plug in the value from equation (1) and 9.8 for 'g' to solve for 'H'. This gives,

H=\frac{90.75}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=4.63\ m

Therefore, the maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

A softball player moving 3.89 m/s
Ahat [919]

Answer:

0.119 s

Explanation:

Given that

U=3.89\ m/s\\a=-1.44\ m/s^2\\S=4.8\ m

Lets take final speed of the softball after covering 4.8 m = V

We know that

V^2=U^2+2aS\\V^2=3.89^2-2\times 1.44\times 4.8\\V=3.7\ m/s

Also We know that

V=U+at\\

Putting the value of V ,U and a in the previous equation  We get

3.7=3.89-1.44\times t\\t=0.119\ s

Therefore slide time will be 0.119 s

A piece of warm concrete is placed in a cold-water tank, and energy flows between the concrete and the water. Which way does the
sammy [17]

Answer:

Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When a hot and a cold body are in thermal contact, they exchange heat energy until they reach thermal equilibrium, with the hot body cooling down and the cold body warming up. This is a natural phenomenon we experience all the time.
