Imagine you are sitting on a surfboard in the ocean, waiting to catch a big wave. When the ocean is still, you are sitting at a

point that would be the midpoint (the undisturbed position) of any waves that come your way. You look out to see and see a set of waves coming your way. What you see is actually a pattern of troughs followed be crests of the waves moving toward you and the shore. The distance between the crests is 5 meters. A crest passes you every 20 seconds.
Answer these questions:

a. What is the wavelength?

b. What is the frequency?

c. What is the wave velocity?

A bicyclist, initially at rest, begins pedaling and gaining speed steadily for 4.90s during which she covers 25.0m.
emmasim [6.3K]

The bicyclist accelerates with magnitude <em>a</em> such that

25.0 m = 1/2 <em>a</em> (4.90 s)²

Solve for <em>a</em> :

<em>a</em> = (25.0 m) / (1/2 (4.90 s)²) ≈ 2.08 m/s²

Then her final speed is <em>v</em> such that

<em>v</em> ² - 0² = 2<em>a</em> (25.0 m)

Solve for <em>v</em> :

<em>v</em> = √(2 (2.08 m/s²) / (25.0 m)) ≈ 10.2 m/s

Convert to mph. If you know that 1 m ≈ 3.28 ft, then

(10.2 m/s) • (3.28 ft/m) • (1/5280 mi/ft) • (3600 s/h) ≈ 22.8 mi/h

when the particles of the medium move back and forth along the direction of the wave motion, the wave is a
Bezzdna [24]

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

To determine the height of a tall building such as Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois a ball was dropped from the top of the build
Darya [45]

Answer:

The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 feet.

Explanation:

<h3>We apply the free fall formula to the ball: </h3><h3>y=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}</h3><h3>y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t  </h3><h3>v_{o}i: Initial speed </h3><h3>g=Gravity acceleration=9.8*(\frac{\frac{1ft}{0.305m} }{s^{2} } )</h3>

Known information

We know that the vertical distance (y) that the ball moves in 9,5s  is equal to height of Sears Tower (h).  

Too we know that the ball is released from rest, then,v_{0}=0

Height of Sears Tower calculation:

We replace  in the equation 1 the data following;

y=h

v_{o} =0

g=32,1\frac{ft}{s^{2} }

t= 9,5s

h=0*9.5+\frac{1}{2} *32.1*9.5^{2}

h=1448.5 ft

Answer: The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 ft

How many significant figures does 0.00340 have?
True [87]
Greetings!

"<span>How many significant figures does 0.00340 have?"...

A significant figure is:
-A non zero number
-A zero in between non zero numbers
-Trailing zeros to the right of the decimal point

Therefore, this number has three significant figures:
3,4,0

Hope this helps.
