The sun's radiation has different wavelengths. the shorter is the radiation's wavelength, the weaker is the radiation's energy.

It is false. Because the amount of energy carried in the wave is inversely related to the length of the waves wavelength. To correct the statement it should be that the shorter the radiation's wavelength the stronger is the radiation's energy.

Over a 24-hour period, the tide in a harbor can be modeled by one period of a sinusoidal function. the tide measures 5.15 ft at
RSB [31]
<span>f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15

   First, you need to determine the period of the function. The period will be the time interval between identical points on the sinusoidal function. For this problem, the tide is rising and at 5.15 at midnight for two consecutive days. So the period is 24 hours. Over that 24 hour period, we want the parameter passed to sine to range from 0 to 2*pi. So the scale factor for x will be 2*pi/24 = pi/12 which is approximately 0.261799388. The next thing to note is the magnitude of the wave. That will simply be the difference between the maximum and minimum values. So 10.2 ft - 0.1 ft = 10.1 ft. And since the value of sine ranges from -1 to 1, we need to divide that magnitude by 2, so 10.1 ft / 2 = 5.05 ft.

   So our function at this point looks like f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) But the above function ranges in value from -5.05 to 5.05. So we need to add a bias to it in order to make the low value equal to 0.1. So 0.1 = X - 5.05, 0.1 + 5.05 = X, 5.15 = X. So our function now looks like:
  f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15

   The final thing that might have been needed would have been a phase correction. With this problem, we don't need a phase correction since at X = 0 (midnight), the value of X*pi/12 = 0, and the sine of 0 is 0, so the value of the equation is 5.15 which matches the given value of 5.15. But if the problem had been slightly different and the height of the tide at midnight has been something like 7 feet, then we would have had to calculate a phase shift value for the function and add that constant to the parameter being passed into sine, making the function look like:
 f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12 + C) + 5.15
  where
 C = Phase correction offset.

   But we don't need it for this problem, so the answer is:
 f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15

   Note: The above solution assumes that angles are being measured in radians. If you're using degrees, then instead of multiplying x by 2*pi/24 = pi/12, you need to multiply by 360/24 = 15 instead, giving f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*15) + 5.15</span>

A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a mass-less seesaw. If they both move forward so that they are one-half their
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

b) Nothing will happen,  the sea saw will still be balanced.

Explanation:

b) Nothing will happen,  the sea saw will still be balanced.

Reason:-

When two kids are balanced, the sum of torques on the seesaw will be zero.

if each kid, reduces their distances by half, then the torque of each kid will be half and the sum of torque of each on the seesaw will be zero.

Therefore the seesaw is balanced

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The charges on the plates,

Explanation:

A capacitor is an electronic device that can be used for storing of charges. A parallel plate capacitor consists of two plates of equal area separated by a dielectric constant. The energy stored in the capacitor is in the form of potential energy which comes into play during the discharging process of the capacitor.

The energy stored depends majorly on the voltage, area of the plates, distance between the plates and the nature of the dielectric constant of the material between the plates. But it does not depend on the charges on the plates.

A car of mass 1167 kg accelerates on a flat highway from 10 m/s to 28.0 m/s. How much work does the car's engine do on the car?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Workdone = 465766038 Joules.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 1167

Initial velocity = 10m/s

Final velocity =28m/s

To find the workdone;

We know that from the workdone theorem, the workdone by an object or a body is directly proportional to the kinetic energy possessed by the object due to its motion.

Mathematically, it is given by the equation;

W = Kf - Ki

W = ½MVf² - ½MVi²

Substituting into the equation

W = ½(1167)*28² - ½(1167)*10²

W = ½ * 1361889* 784 - ½ * 1361889 * 100

W = 533860488 - 68094450

Workdone = 465766038 Joules.
