Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by

Physics
1 answer:
lara31 [8.8K]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Option D

2 m/s

Explanation:

The speed is given by distance/time

The complete wave has a distance of 8 m (This is the wavelength)

Time taken for complete wave is 4 s

Therefore, velocity= 8 m/ 4 s= 2 m/s

The amplitude is the distance between crest and trough hence 9 m- 6 m= 3 m

Frequency is 1/period and in this case period is 4 s hence frequency= 1/4= 0.25 Hz

Essentially, what we wanted is velocity

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Power = 24.41Watts

Explanation:

Find the diagram attached

Power output  = Force * distance/Time

Given

Force = 120lb

Distance = 9inches

Time = 5sec

Since

1lb = 4.4482216153 N

120lb  = 120 * 4.4482216153

120lb = 533.787N

9in to meters

9in = 0.0254*9

9in = 0.2286N

Power = 533.787*0.2286/5

Power = 24.41Watts

A student throws a baseball at a large gong 52 m away and hears the sound of the gong 1.73333 s later. The speed of sound in air
Arte-miy333 [17]

Speed = 52/1.57576= 33 m/s

Explanation:

Distance = speed * time

Given , the distance traveled by the baseball = 52 m

Speed of sound in air = 330 m/s

Total time  = 1.73333 s .

Total time for the student to hear the sound of the gong is the sum of the time take for the baseball to reach the gong and the time taken by the sound to travel back.

Distance traveled by the sound is 52 m and the speed is 330 m/s

So time taken by the sound to travel back = distance traveled / the speed

=> time = 52/330 s = 0.15757 s

Time taken by the base ball to reach the gong is the total time - the time taken by the sound

=> time taken by base ball = 1.73333 - 0.15757 = 1.57576s

Speed of the base ball to reach the gong = distance / time

Speed = 52/1.57576= 33 m/s
