Hey there,
Your question states: What factors affect the speed of water waves
Let's get one thing out the way, (wavelength) does
affect the the speed of water. If anything, it would be how high the wavelength's are. The higher the wavelengths are, the more that it would affect the speed, because there very high, but if it were to go longer on the width side, that would increase the speed, but that's not the case. Your correct answer would be (higher wavelength).
Hope this really helps you.
These are known as balanced forces because they will not change the motion of the object, and it will remain at rest unless forces become unbalanced- meaning they would be unequal and not opposing.
Incomplete Question.The Complete question is
The Earth spins on its axis and also orbits around the Sun. For this problem use the following constants. Mass of the Earth: 5.97 × 10^24 kg (assume a uniform mass distribution) Radius of the Earth: 6371 km Distance of Earth from Sun: 149,600,000 km
(i)Calculate the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to rotation about its axis, in joules.
(ii)What is the rotational kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the Sun, in joules?
Answer:
(i) KE= 2.56e29 J
(ii) KE= 2.65e33 J
Explanation:
i) Treating the Earth as a solid sphere, its moment of inertia about its axis is
I = (2/5)mr² = (2/5) * 5.97e24kg * (6.371e6m)²
I = 9.69e37 kg·m²
About its axis,
ω = 2π rads/day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s
ω= 7.27e-5 rad/s,
so its rotational kinetic energy
KE = ½Iω² = ½ * 9.69e37kg·m² * (7.27e-5rad/s)²
KE= 2.56e29 J
(ii) About the sun,
I = mR²
I= 5.97e24kg * (1.496e11m)²
I= 1.336e47 kg·m²
and the angular velocity
ω = 2π rad/yr * 1yr/365.25day * 1day/24h * 1h/3600s
ω= 1.99e-7 rad/s
so
KE = ½ * 1.336e47kg·m² * (1.99e-7rad/s)²
KE= 2.65e33 J
It's called buoyancy. It is the tendency of an object to float
