Answer:

Wave speed is the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time, such as the number of meters it travels per second. Wave speed is related to wavelength and wave frequency by the equation: Speed = Wavelength x Frequency. This equation can be used to calculate wave speed when wavelength and frequency are known.

Jada is rowing a boat across a river that has a current of 5 m/s in the ˆ j direction. Leanne, standing on the shore, observes J

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: d. 8.25 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that Current= 5 m/s in j direction

Velocity= 8 m/s i + 3 m/s j

Now, we have to find Jada's speed with respect to the water.

First we find Jada's velocity with respect to water

v= (8 i + 3 j) - (5 j)

v= 8i - 2 j

To find the speed, we take the magnitude of this velocity vector we have

|v|= $\sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2}$

|v|= $\sqrt{68}$ = 8.246 m/s

which comes out to be around = 8.25 m/s

So option d is correct.

I would say the last option, since with an increase in temperature, water molecules will speed up.

The speed of a moving bullet can be deter-

Bad White [126]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Linear Speed</u>

The linear speed of the bullet is calculated by the formula:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}$

Where:

x = Distance traveled

t = Time needed to travel x

We are given the distance the bullet travels x=61 cm = 0.61 m. We need to determine the time the bullet took to make the holes between the two disks.

The formula for the angular speed of a rotating object is:

$\displaystyle \omega=\frac{\theta}{t}$

Where θ is the angular displacement and t is the time. Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{\theta}{\omega}$

The angular displacement is θ=14°. Converting to radians:

$\theta=14*\pi/180=0.2443\ rad$

The angular speed is w=1436 rev/min. Converting to rad/s:

$\omega = 1436*2\pi/60=150.3776\ rad/s$

Thus the time is:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{0.2443\ rad}{150.3776\ rad/s}$

t = 0.0016 s

Thus the speed of the bullet is:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{0.61}{0.0016}$

v = 381 m/s

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

$21678.47223\ lbf-in^2$

$383.1109\ lbf-in^2$

Explanation:

d = Diameter of column = 0.5 inch

$A_c$ = Area of concrete = $119.4\ in^2$

The strain in the system is conserved

$\dfrac{F_sL}{A_sE_s}=\dfrac{F_cL}{A_cE_c}\\\Rightarrow F_c=\dfrac{F_sA_cE_c}{A_sE_s}\\\Rightarrow F_c=\dfrac{F_s \times 119.4\times 4.1\times 10^6}{8\times \dfrac{\pi \dfrac{1}{2^2}}{4}\times 29\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow F_c=10.74658F_s$
