A block of wood is floating in water; it is depressed slightly and then released to oscillate up and down. Assume that the top a

nd bottom of the block are parallel planes which remain horizontal during the oscillations and that the sides of the block are vertical. Show that the period of the motion (neglecting friction) is 2π ph/g, where h is the vertical height of the part of the block under water when it is floating at rest. Hint: Recall that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of displaced water.

Explanation:

Equilibrium position in y direction:

W = Fb (Weight of the block is equal to buoyant force)

m*g = V*p*g

V under water = A*h

hence,

m = A*h*p

Using Newton 2nd Law

-m*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = Fb - W\\\\-m*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = p*g*(h+y)*A - A*h*p*g\\\\-A*h*p*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = y *p*A*g\\\\\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} + \frac{g}{h} * y =0

Hence, T time period

T = 2*pi*sqrt ( h / g )

Find the frequency of a wave produced by a generator that emits 100 pulses in 2.0 s.
kobusy [5.1K]

The frequency of the wave is 50 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of the wave is defined as the number of cycles per second of the wave:

f=\frac{N}{t}

where

N is the number of cycles completed in a time t.

Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz).

In this problems, the wave has

N = 100 pulses

in

t = 2.0 s

Therefore, its frequency is

f=\frac{100}{2.0}=50 Hz

A car travels at a constant velocity of 20.0 meters/second for 15 seconds. What is the power of the car if the initial force app
Zielflug [23.3K]
Work done by the force = Force x displacement. Power = work done/time = F.s/t = F.u.t/t = F.u = 95 x 20 = 1900J.                                                                                                                                                                                               {S=ut because acceleration is zero since car is moving at constant velocity}.
