A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s

for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.53 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 4.8 m apart. (a) How fast are the waves traveling? (b) What is the amplitude of each wave? (c) If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) change?

(a) 0.96 m/s

The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:

T=2\cdot 2.5 s=5.0 s

The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.20 Hz

The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so

\lambda=4.8 m

And the wave speed is given by:

v=\lambda f=(4.8 m)(0.20 Hz)=0.96 m/s

(b) 0.265 m

The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is

d = 0.53 m

The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.53 m}{2}=0.265 m

(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before

In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,

d = 0.30 m

So the amplitude would be

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.30 m}{2}=0.15 m

Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.

A heat engine extracts 42. 53 kj from the hot reservior and exhausts 17. 69 kj into the cold reservior. what is the work done?
ludmilkaskok [199]

The answer is  24.84kJ.

We apply the expression for the work done by the heat engine is,

W=E_{i n}-E_{o u t}. Putting all given values in the equation we get the final answer.

What is heat engine?

  • A heat engine is a machine that uses heat to generate power. It draws heat from a reservoir, uses that heat to produce work, such as move a piston or lift weights, and then releases that heat energy into the sink.
  • We are given:The heat input is $E_{i n}=42.53 \mathrm{~kJ}$. The heat output is $E_{o u t}=17.69 \mathrm{~kJ}$.
  • The expression for the work done by the heat engine is,W=E_{i n}-E_{o u t}
  • Substituting the given values in the above expression, we will getW =42.53 \mathrm{~kJ}-17.69 \mathrm{~kJ}=24.84kJ.
  • Thus, the work done by the heat engine is 24.84kJ.

An autotransformer is used to reduce the voltage of a 100-kilovolt amp, 480-volt secondary of an isolated type transformer, to s
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

42KVA

Explanation:

Given data

High Voltage (HV)= 480V

Low Voltage (LV)= 277V

Fo find

Size of transformer=?

Solution

To find the size of transformer here we use the co-ratio.The Co-ratio is given as:

Co-Ratio= (HV - LV)/HV

where

HV is High Voltage

LV is Low Voltage

Now put the values we get

Co- Ratio=(480-277)/480=.42

So the size of transformer is 42KVA
