Answer:

a) 433.96 miles/hr

   193.98 m/s

b) 3899.3 Hz

c) 2.56 x 10^-4 s^{-1}

   0.015 m^{-1}

Explanation:

wavelength of the tsunami = 470 miles

Distance traveled = 2300 miles

time taken to travel this distance = 5.3 h

a) wave's speed = distance/time

==> 2300/5.3 = 433.96 miles/hr

1 miles/hr = 0.447 m/s

433.96 miles/hr = 433.96 x 0.447 = 193.98 m/s

b) frequency of a wave f = speed/wavelength

for wavelength, 470 miles = 470 x 1609.34 = 756389.8 m

frequency = 756389.8/193.98 = 3899.3 Hz

c) Period T = 1/frequency

T = 1/3899.3 = 2.56 x 10^-4 s^{-1}

60 sec = 1 min

Period T in sec = 2.56 x 10^-4 x 60 = 0.015 m^{-1}

The approximate orbital period of this star is 13 years.

<h3>What is Kepler's third law?</h3>

The square of a planet's period of revolution around the sun in an elliptical orbit is directly proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis, states Kepler's law of periods.

T² ∝ a³

The time it takes for one rotation to complete depends on how closely the planet orbits the sun. With the use of the equations for Newton's theories of motion and gravitation, Kepler's third law assumes a more comprehensive shape:

P² = 4π² /[G(M₁+ M₂)] × a³

where M₁ and M₂ are the two circling objects' respective masses in solar masses.

The position of a 55 g oscillating mass is given by x(t)=(2.0cm)cos(10t), where t is in seconds. determine the velocity at t=0.4
NNADVOKAT [17]
The position of the mass is given by (in cm):
x(t)=2 \cos (10 t)
The velocity is the derivative of the position:
v(t) =  \frac{dx(t)}{dt} =-10\cdot 2 \sin (10t)=-20 \sin (10t)
Substituting t=0.40 s, we can find the velocity at this time:
v(0.40 s)= -20 \sin (10 \cdot 0.4)=15 cm/s=15 \cdot 10^{-2}m/s
