Answer : Frequency equals number of oscillations in a given period of time.

Explanation :

The number of oscillations in a given period of time is known as the frequency of the wave. It is denoted by $\nu$ . Its SI unit is hertz (Hz).

It is also defined as the inverse of time period i.e.

$\nu=\dfrac{1}{T}$

T is the time period.

Hence, the correct option is (B) " number of oscillations in a given period of time ".

A river flows due east at 1.60 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

part (a) $v\ =\ 10.42\ at\ 81.17^o$ towards north east direction.

part (b) s = 46.60 m

Explanation:

Given,

velocity of the river due to east = $v_r\ =\ 1.60\ m/s.$
velocity of the boat due to the north = $v_b\ =\ 10.3\ m/s.$

part (a)

River is flowing due to east and the boat is moving in the north, therefore both the velocities are perpendicular to each other and,

Hence the resultant velocity i,e, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore is in the North east direction. velocities are the vector quantities, Hence the resultant velocity is the vector addition of these two velocities and the angle between both the velocities are $90^o$

Let 'v' be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

$\therefore v\ =\ \sqrt{v_r^2\ +\ v_b^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \sqrt{1.60^2\ +\ 10.3^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 10.42\ m/s.$

Let $\theta$ be the angle of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore with the horizontal axis.

Direction of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore. $\therefore Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{v_b}{v_r}\\\Rightarrow Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ Tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\ \right )\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ 81.17^o$

part (b)

Width of the shore = w = 300m

total distance traveled in the north direction by the boat is equal to the product of the velocity of the boat in north direction and total time taken

Let 't' be the total time taken by the boat to cross the width of the river. $\therefore w\ =\ v_bt\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{w}{v_b}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{300}{10.3}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ 29.12 s$

Therefore the total distance traveled in the direction of downstream by the boat is equal to the product of the total time taken and the velocity of the river $\therefore s\ =\ u_rt\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 1.60\times 29.12\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 46.60\ m$

3. A bicycle has a momentum of 25.00 kg* m/s and a velocity of 2.5 m/s . What is the bicycle's

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

10 kg

Explanation:

The question is most likely asking for the mass of the bicycle.

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Mathematically:

p = m * v

Where p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

Hence, mass is:

m = p / v

From the question:

p = 25 kgm/s

v = 2.5 m/s

Mass is:

m = 25 / 2.5 = 10 kg

The mass of the bicycle is 10 kg.

In case the question requires the Kinetic energy of the bicycle, it can be gotten by using the formula

K. E = ½ * p * v

K. E. = ½ * 25 * 2.5 = 31.25 J
