Crests of an ocean wave pass a pier every 10.0 s. if the waves are moving at 5.6 m/s, what is the wavelength of the ocean waves?

Physics

Every 10.0 seconds, a crest of the wave passes the pier. This means that the period of the wave is exactly 10.0 s:
T=10.0 s
which means that the frequency of the wave is
f= \frac{1}{T}= \frac{1}{10.0 s}=0.1 Hz

The wavelength of a wave is related to its frequency by the relationship
\lambda= \frac{v}{f}
where v is the speed of the wave.
In this problem, v=5.6 m/s; if we use the previous formula, we find the wavelength of the wave:
\lambda= \frac{5.6 m/s}{0.1 Hz}=56 m

How long will it take a plane to fly 1256km<br> if it travels 500km/hr?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.51 s</h3>

Explanation:

The time taken can be found by using the formula

t =  \frac{d}{v}  \\

d is the distance

v is the velocity

From the question we have

t =  \frac{1256}{500}  \\  = 2.512

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.51 s</h3>

Hope this helps you

A man with a weight of 100 N is located
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

Given,

  mass of man = 100 N = 10 kg

   height = h = 25m

   since the man does not move anything with his force, work done by him is zero

   work done on the man = gain in potential energy

   P.E=mgh

   P.E=10×9.8×25

  P.E=2.45KJ

Explanation:

so, potential energy gained by man is 2.45 KJ
