Wherever there are waves,

(the frequency) times (the wavelength) = the wave's speed

This says that the product of multiplying the frequency by the wavelength is always the same number. So if one of them gets multiplied by something, the other one immediately gets divided by the same thing, in order to keep their product from changing.

If the frequency is tripled, the wavelength must be divided by 3.

#1). Anthony does the same amount of work as Angel, with more power.

#2). Power = (Work)/(Time) = 41,000 J / 500 s = 82 watts .

#3). Power = (Work) / (Time) = 83 J / 3 sec = 27.7 watts

Chapter 14, Problem 042 A flotation device is in the shape of a right cylinder, with a height of 0.588 m and a face area of 4.19

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The workdone is $W = 9.28 * 10^{3} J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the cylinder is $h = 0.588\ m$

The face Area is $A = 4.19 \ m^2$

The density of the cylinder is $\rho = 0.346 * \rho_w$

Where $\rho_w$ is the density of freshwater which has a constant value

$\rho_w = 1000 kg/m^3$

Now

Let the final height of the device under the water be $= h_f$

Let the initial volume underwater be $= V_n$

Let the initial height under water be $= h_i$

Let the final volume under water be $= V_f$

According to the rule of floatation

The weight of the cylinder = Upward thrust

This is mathematically represented as

$\rho_c g V_n = \rho_w gV_f$

$\rho_c A h = \rho A h_f$

So $\frac{0.346 \rho_w}{\rho_w} = \frac{h_f}{h}$

=> $\frac{h_f}{h_c} = 0.346$

Now the work done is mathematically represented as

$W = \int\limits^{h_f}_{h} {\rho_w g A (-h)} \, dh$

$= \rho_w g A [\frac{h^2}{2} ] \left | h_f} \atop {h}} \right.$

$= \frac{g A \rho}{2} [h^2 - h_f^2]$

$= \frac{g A \rho}{2} (h^2) [1 - \frac{h_f^2}{h^2} ]$

Substituting values

$W = \frac{(9.8 ) (4.19) (10^3)}{2} (0.588)^2 (1 - 0.346)$

$W = 9.28 * 10^{3} J$

A projectile is launched from ground level at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. Neglect air resistance and consider t

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

just before landing the ground

Explanation:

Let the velocity of projection is u and the angle of projection is 30°.

Let T is the time of flight and R is the horizontal distance traveled. As there is no force acting in horizontal direction, so the horizontal velocity remains constant. Let the particle hits the ground with velocity v.

initial horizontal component of velocity, ux = u Cos 30

initial vertical component of velocity, uy = u Sin 30

Time of flight is given by

$T = \frac{2u Sin\theta }{g}$
