The right answer to this question is A. a crest that is toppling over. When a surfer rides an ocean wave on her surfboard, she is actually riding on a crest. The crest is the point on a wave with the maximum value or upward displacement within a cycle.

Answer:

A. a crest that is toppling over.

Explanation:

As we know that at the position of crest in a wave the velocity of motion of molecules is the least velocity or zero velocity

So as the surfer needs the stability he need a point of least velocity and maximum stability

So in that case he has to travel at the position of crest where he can obtain maximum stability and then his speed will be same as the speed of wave propagation in the direction of wave

so here correct answer would be

A. a crest that is toppling over.

The temperature of a lead fishing weight rises from 26∘c to 38∘c as it absorbs 11.3 j of heat. what is the mass of the fishing w
Nimfa-mama [501]
Given:
ΔT = 38 - 26 = 12°C, temperature change
Q = 11.3 J, heat input
c = 0.128 J/(g-°C), specific heat of lead

Let m =  the mass of the lead.
Then
Q = m*c*ΔT
(m g)*(0.128 J/(g-°C))*(12 °C) = 11.3 J
1.536m = 11.3
m = 7.357 g

Answer:  7.36 g  (2 sig. figs)

An unknown charged particle passes without deflection through crossed electric and magnetic fields of strengths 187,500 V/m and
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

The electric fields of strengths E = 187,500 V/m and

and The magnetic  fields of strengths B = 0.1250 T

The diameter d is 25.05 cm which is converted to 0.2505m

The radius is (d/2)

= 0.2505m / 2 = 0.12525m

The given formula to find the magnetic force is F_{ma}=BqV---(i)

The given formula to find the electric force is F_{el}=qE---(ii)

The velocity of electric field and magnetic field is said to be perpendicular

Electric field is equal to magnectic field

Equate equation (i) and equation (ii)

Bqv=qE\\\\v=\frac{E}{B}

v=\frac{187500}{0.125} \\\\v=15\times10^5m/s

It is said that the particles moves in semi circle, so we are going to consider using centripetal force

F_{ce}=\frac{mv^2}{r}---(iii)

magnectic field is equal to centripetal force

Lets equate equation (i) and (iii)

Bqr=\frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\\frac{q}{m}=\frac{v}{Br}  \\\\\frac{q}{m} =\frac{15\times 10^5}{0.125\times0.12525} \\\\=\frac{15\times10^5}{0.015656} \\\\=95808383.23\\\\=958.1\times10^5C/kg

Therefore,  the particle's charge-to-mass ratio is 958.1\times10^5C/kg

b)

To identify the particle

Then 1/ 958.1 × 10⁵ C/kg

The charge to mass ratio is very close to that of a proton, which is about 1*10^8 C/kg

Therefore the particle is proton.

Time period of a simple pendulum is measured at Karachi. What change will occur in the time period, if it is measured on mount e
Reil [10]
The period of a pendulum is given by T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{l}{g} }
since Karachi is near sea level, g is larger than it is on Mt. Everest.  That means the pendulum will have a larger period on Mt. Everest than it would in Karachi.
