A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

v = 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

The wavelength of the waves is given as the horizontal distance between the crests:

λ = wavelength = 5.5 m

Now, the time period is given as the time taken by boat to move from the highest point again to the highest point. So it will be equal to twice the time taken by the boat to travel from highest to the lowest point:

T = Time Period = 2(2.3 s) = 4.6 s

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

v = f\lambda

where,

v= speed of wave = ?

f = frequency of wave = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{4.6\ s} = 0.217\ Hz

Therefore,

v = (0.217\ Hz)(5.5\ m)\\

<u>v = 1.2 m/s</u>

An eagle flying at 15 m/s has 600 J of kinetic energy. About how much is the eagles mass?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

5.33kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of eagle  = 15m/s

Kinetic energy of the eagle = 600J

Unknown:

Mass of the eagle  = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of any body is the energy due to the motion of a body. There are different forms of kinetic energy some of which are thermal, mechanical, electrical  energy.

The formula of kinetic energy is given as;

              Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

where m is the mass, V is the velocity

   substitute the parameters in the equation;

                       600  = \frac{1}{2} x m x 15²

                     225m  = 1200

                            m  = \frac{1200}{225}    = 5.33kg

a man is standing near the edge of a cliff 85 meters high. he throws a stone upward vertically with an intial velocity of 10 m/s
alex41 [277]

Answer:

h = 90.10 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A man is standing near the edge of a cliff 85 meters high, h₀ = 85 m

The initial speed of the stone, u = 10 m/s

The path followed by the projectile is given by :

h(t)=-4.9t^2+10t+85 ....(1)

For maximum height,

Put dh/dt = 0

So,

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=-9.8t+10=0\\\\t=\dfrac{10}{9.8}\\\\=1.02\ s

Put the value of t in equation (1).

h(t)=-4.9(1.02)^2+10(1.02)+85\\\\=90.10\ m

So, the maximum height of the stone is equal to 90.10 m.

Calculate the distance travel if it accelerates from 0 to 27.8 meters per second in 2.5 seconds
luda_lava [24]

The distance travel is 69.5 meters.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given datas are as follows

Speed = 27.8 meters / second

Time = 2.5 seconds

The formula to calculate the speed using distance and time is

Speed = Distance ÷ Time (units)

Then Distance = Speed × Time (units)

Distance = (27.8 × 2.5) meters          

Distance = 69.50 meters

Therefore the distance travelled is 69.50 meters.
