A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

e of the water. It takes a time of 2.90s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.630m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.60m apart.

Answer:

1.  λ = 5.60 m , 2.  T = 5.80 s  3.  v = 0.966 m/s   4.  A = 0.315 m

Explanation:

1. The definition of wavelength is the distance between two consecutive maximums or minimums, so that the wave is repeated, in this case they give us the distance between two consecutive maximums, therefore

    λ = 5.60 m

2. the period is the time it takes for the wave to start repeating itself, going through the same point. They give time to go from the highest point to the lowest point, which is the time for half a wavelength, so the time for a wavelength is

     T = 2 t

     T = 2 2.90

     T = 5.80 s

3. For all waves the speed is the product of the wavelength by the frequency and the frequency is the inverse of the period

    v = λ f

    f = 1 / T

   v =  λ / T

   v = 5.60 / 5.80

   v = 0.966 m / s

4. The amplitude of the wave is the value of the zero displacement point to the maximum displacement point, give the value between the maximum and minimum displacement

     A = d / 2

     A = 0.63 / 2

     A = 0.315 m

<span>During a medical evaluation, the doctor can D. all of the above. It is the doctor's duty to do all of these things - to establish some guidelines for activities, to see whether these programs are appropriate for the person in question, and to help them pick activities that will be safe for them and which they will be able to do without harming their bodies. These are all the things that doctors do in order to help their patients lead a safe and healthy life.</span>

While standing on a bridge 40.0 m above the ground, you drop a stone from rest. when the stone has fallen 3.80 m, you throw a se
Norma-Jean [14]
Given: distance 1 d₁ = 40 m;  distance 2 d₂ = 3.8 m   g = -9.8 m/s²

 Initial Velocity Vi = 0  Final Velocity of stone 2 is unknown = ?

Total distance dₓ = d₁ - d₂  = 40 m - 3.8 m = 36.2 m

Formula: a = Vf² -  Vi²/2d   derive for Final Velocity Vf
 
acceleration is now due to gravity, therefore a = g

Vf = √2gd   Vf = √2(9.8 m/s²)(36.2 m)

Vf = 26.64 m/s  

Reason: The second stone will still start from rest.

What is the purpose of an experiment design?
Eddi Din [679]
An experimental design is used to assign variables for testing. In contrast to a control design where nothing is changed, the experimental design allows you to test various new inputs to see how they would vary from the original results.

Does the theory of relativity show that Newtonian mechanics is wrong?
valina [46]

Answer:

Einstein extended the rules of Newton for high speeds. For applications of mechanics at low speeds, Newtonian ideas are almost equal to reality. That is the reason we use Newtonian mechanics in practice at low speeds.

Explanation:

<em>But on a conceptual level, Einstein did prove Newtonian ideas quite wrong in some cases, e.g. the relativity of simultaneity. But again, in calculations, Newtonian ideas give pretty close to correct answer in low-speed regimes. So, the numerical validity of Newtonian laws in those regimes is something that no one can ever prove completely wrong - because they have been proven correct experimentally to a good approximation.</em>

A sound wave is passing by a student 250 times every second. What is the frequency of the sound wave?
inysia [295]
My answer i believe is simply 250 Hz, because sounds or vibrations travel in 1 cycle/second, meaning the number of cycles, in your case 250, divided by the time,1 second, will ultimately be 250 Hertz.  For every Cycle/second it will equal 1 Hz, so 250/1 = 250Hz
