A boat is traveling at 3.2 m/s in the same direction as an ocean wave of wavelength 30 m and speed 6.8 m/s. If the boat is on th

To solve this problem we apply the kinematic equations of linear motion. For which the speed is described as the distance traveled in a time interval. This would be,

v = \frac{x}{t} \rightarrow t = \frac{x}{v}

Our values are given as,

\text{The speed of the boat} =  v_b = 3.8m/s

\text{The speed of the ocean} = V = 6.8m/s

\text{The wave length of the wave is the same distance traveled by boat} = d = \lambda = 30m

\text{The relative speed of the boat} = v_r = -3.8 +6.8 = 3m/s

Replacing we have,

t = \frac{d}{v_r}

t =  \frac{30m}{3m/s}

t = 10s

Therefore will take until the boat is next on a crest around to 10s

Which of the following is Ohm's Law?<br> OR=xR<br> O1-V/R<br> OVR/<br> OV-/R
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

I=V/R

Explanation:

Ohm's law gives the mathematical relationship between, current, voltage and the resistance of the circuit. Its mathematical form is given by :

V = IR ....(1)

V = voltage (in volts)

I = current (in Ampere)

R = resistance (in ohms)

Equation (1) can be rewritten as :

I=\dfrac{V}{R}

Hence, the correct relation is I=V/R.

A ball with mass of 0.050 kg is dropped from a height of h1 = 1 .5 m. It collides with the floor, then bounces up to a height of
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse of reaction force of floor = change in momentum

Velocity of impact = √ 2gh₁

= √ 2 x 9.8 x 1.5 = 5.4 m /s.

velocity of rebound = √2gh₂

= √ 2x 9.8 x 1

= 4.427 m / s.

Initial momentum = .050 x 5.4 = .27 kg m/s

Final momentum = .05 x 4.427 = .22 kg.m/s

change in momentum = .27 - .22 = .05 kg m/s

Impulse = .05 kg m /s

Impulse = force x time

force = impulse / time

.05 / .015 = 3.33 N.

kinetic energy = 1/2 m v²

Initial kinetic energy = 1/2 x .05 x 5.4²

= 0.729 J

Final Kinetic Energy =1/2 x .05 x 4.427²

= 0.489 J

Change in Kinetic energy =0 .24 J

Lost kinetic energy is due to conversion of energy into sound light etc.

If there is "waste" energy, does the Law of Conservation of Energy still apply? please don't type something random if so i'll ju
FinnZ [79.3K]

Explanation:

Yes, the law of conservation of energy still applies even if there is waste energy.

The waste energy are the transformation products of energy from one form to another.

According to the law of conservation of energy "energy is neither created nor destroyed by transformed from one form to another in a system".

But of then times, energy is lost as heat or sound within a system.

  • If we take into account these waste energy, we can see that energy is indeed conserved.
  • The sum total of the energy generated and those produced will be the same if we factor in other forms in which the energy has been transformed into.
