Answer: 0.14 Hz

Explanation:

We are told the person counts 10 waves in 68 s, from this information we can calculate the frequency f, which is defined as the number of oscilations or waves per unit of time. Then:

f=\frac{10 waves}{68 s}

f=0.14 s^{-1}

This is the frequency of the ocean waves. Now, according to the International System of Units (SI), frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), which is equivalent to s^{-1}.

So, according to this, the frequency of the ocean waves is f=0.14 Hz

Note: Although the video is not provided in this question, it is not needed to answer the question.

Answer:

B) It does not deflect at all

Explanation:

Since both half shells contain opposite charges, the two shells become electrically neutral when they are brought together and the electroscope discharges. On separating the two half shells again, the needle does not deflect because the half shells have now lost their charges to become neutral.

Ann [662]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

According to researches done by the astronomers, it has been found that the earth collided with a giant Mars-size early proto-planet, whose name was 'Theia' during the Hadean era, about.5 billion years back. This collision resulted in the detachment of a considerably huge amount of material away from the earth. The remnant debris particles accumulated and gave rise to the formation of moon. The earth during that time was comprised of molten lava only, and from this collision, the earth attained its tilt of approximately 23.5°.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

12.2 m/s

Explanation:

Initial momentum = final momentum

In the x direction:

(900 kg) (15.0 m/s) = (900 kg + 750 kg) vx

vx = 8.18 m/s

In the y direction:

(750 kg) (20.0 m/s) = (900 kg + 750 kg) vy

vy = 9.09

The magnitude of the velocity is therefore:

v = √(vx² + vy²)

v = 12.2 m/s
