Answer:

W = 1014 J = 1.014 KJ

Explanation:

As, Sam has to stop the boats in the log ride. Therefore, the work Sam needs to do, in order to stop a boat must be equal to the kinetic energy of the boat:

Work Done by Sam = Kinetic Energy of the Boat

W = K.E

W = (1/2)mv²

where,

m = mass of boat and its rider = 1200 kg

v = speed of the boat = 1.3 m/s

Therefore,

W = (1/2)(1200 kg)(1.3 m/s)²

<u>W = 1014 J = 1.014 KJ</u>

V = wf
ex) 5m • 16 Hz = 80 m/s
5m • 20 Hz = 100 m/s
Answer : True because when multiplying the same wavelength with an increase in frequency, will give you a higher velocity (speed).

What is the displacement of the particle in the time interval 5 seconds to 8 seconds?
Dmitriy789 [7]
The displacement is the vector with

magnitude
     distance between position at 5 sec and position at 8 sec
and direction
     direction from position at 5 sec to position at 8 sec .

The route followed during the time interval is irrelevant.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

-2.60097\times 10^{-6}\ C

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

r = Distance between charges = 2 cm

The electric force is given by

F=\dfrac{k4\times 10^{-6}q_A}{r^2}

Also

F=\dfrac{k4\times 10^{-6}q_B}{r^2}

The sum of the force is given by

\sum F=\dfrac{k4\times 10^{-6}q_A}{r^2}cos 30+\dfrac{k4\times 10^{-6}q_B}{r^2}cos 30\\\Rightarrow \sum F=2\dfrac{k4\times 10^{-6}q_A}{r^2}cos 30\\\Rightarrow q_a=\dfrac{\sum Fr^2}{2\times k4\times 10^{-6}cos30}\\\Rightarrow q_a=\dfrac{405\times 0.02^2}{2\times 8.99\times 10^9\times 4\times 10^{-6}cos30}\\\Rightarrow q_a=2.60097\times 10^{-6}\ C

Thus q_a=q_b=-2.60097\times 10^{-6}\ C.

The negative sign is because the force points downward which is taken as negative

Waves diffract the most when their wavelength is?
Margarita [4]
<h2>Answer: about the same size of the gap </h2>

Diffraction happens when a wave (mechanical or electromagnetic wave, in fact, any wave) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the wave bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming multiple patterns with the shape of the aperture of the slit.

Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that <u>the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength. </u>

<u></u>

In other words, <u>when the gap (or slit) size is larger than the wavelength</u>, the wave passes through the gap and does not spread out much on the other side, but when the gap size is equal to the wavelength, maximum diffraction occurs and the waves spread out greatly.

Therefore:

<h2>Waves diffract the most when their wavelength is <u>about the same size of the gap</u> </h2>
