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

Gre4nikov [31]
The correct answer is option A. i.e. An important thing to consider when responding to a driver in front of you that stops suddenly is: the mental state of the other driver.

Our talk or discussion can disrturb the balance of the driver or he can get distracted. So, we must try not to speak much while the driver is driving because by doing this we are putting the life of ourselves in danger. Any distrcaction of driver can cause accident.

A stone is thrown towards a wall with an initial velocity of v0=19m/s and an angle = 71 with the horizontal, as illustrated in t
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

(a) 2.85 m

(b) 16.5 m

(c) 21.7 m

(d) 22.7 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ₓ = 19 cos 71° m/s

v₀ᵧ = 19 sin 71° m/s

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²

(a) Find Δy when t = 3.5 s.

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

Δy = (19 sin 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

Δy = 2.85 m

(b) Find Δy when vᵧ = 0 m/s.

vᵧ² = v₀ᵧ² + 2 aᵧ Δy

(0 m/s)² = (19 sin 71° m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) Δy

Δy = 16.5 m

(c) Find Δx when t = 3.5 s.

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.5 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.5 s)²

Δx = 21.7 m

(d) Find Δx when Δy = 0 m.

First, find t when Δy = 0 m.

Δy = v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

(0 m) = (19 sin 71° m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

0 = t (18.0 − 4.9 t)

t = 3.67

Next, find Δx when t = 3.67 s.

Δx = v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

Δx = (19 cos 71° m/s) (3.67 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (3.67 s)²

Δx = 22.7 m

A 927 g mass is connected to a light spring of force constant 5 N/m that is free to oscillate on a horizontal, frictionless trac
liraira [26]

Answer:

2.7 s

Explanation:

The period of the motion of a massless loaded spring is given by

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

where m is the mass of the load and k is the force or spring constant.

Using values in the question and converting to appropriate units,

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{927\times10^{-3}\text{ kg}}{5 \text{ N/m}}}= 2.7\text{ s}

Juan is standing on the street. An ambulance moves toward him and then passes by. What best describes the pitch that Juan hears?
ozzi

Answer: The correct answer is "the pitch drops to a lower pitch once the ambulance passes by Juan".

Explanation:

Doppler effect is the phenomenon in which there is an increase or decrease in the frequency when there is relative motion between the source and listener.

Pitch depends on the frequency. if the frequency increases then pitch increases.

When the source and the listener are moving towards each other then there is increase in the frequency. When the source and the listener are moving away each other then there is decrease in the frequency.

In the given problem, Juan is standing on the street. An ambulance moves toward him and then passes by the pitch drops to a lower pitch once the ambulance passes by Juan.
