A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

e of the water. It takes a time of 2.90 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.700 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.50 m apart.
How fast are the waves traveling?


What is the amplitude A of each wave?

Answer:

Velocity=1.1m/s

Amplitude=0.35m

Explanation:

Given:

time 't' = 2.9s

wavelength 'λ'= 5.5m

distance 'd'=0.7m

The time period 't' is the time b/w two successive waves. Therefore, the time it takes from the boat to travel  from its highest point to its lowest is a half period.

So, T = 2 x 2.9 => 5.8 s

As we know that frequency is the reciprocal of time period, we have

f= 1/T = 1/5.8 =>0.2 Hz

In order to find how fast are the waves traveling, the velocity is given by

Velocity = f λ

V= 0.2 x 5.5 =>1.1m/s

The distance between the boat's highest point to its lowest point is double the amplitude.

Therefore , we can write

Amplitude 'A'= d/2 =>0.7/2 =>0.35m

maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL

where

R = resistance

X_{L} = Inductive Reactance

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ \frac{1}{x}

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}

\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}

{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})

{R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})

Solving the above eqn:

X_{C} = 4R
