Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second

s. The markings on the post submerged in water indicate that the water level fluctuates from a trough at 6.0 meters to a crest at 9.0 meters. What is the period of the wave?

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The period of the wave is <u><em>4 seconds</em></u>

<h3><em><u>Explanation;</u></em></h3>
  • <em><u>The period of a wave or periodic time is the time taken for one complete oscillation to occur.</u></em> In this case, one complete oscillation occurs when the wave moves from one crest to the next or a trough to the next. <em><u>This takes 4 seconds. Therefore the period is 4 seconds.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Frequency on the other hand is the number of oscillations by a wave in one second. Thus, f = 1/T, that is frequency is the reciprocal of periodic time.</u></em>

zysi [14]

Answer:

U = 9.1 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following

time (t) = 1.8 s

angle = 23 degrees

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

let us first calculate the initial velocity (u) which too the first ball to its maximum height from the equation below

v = u + 0.5at

  • The final velocity (v) is zero since the ball comes to rest
  • The time (t) it takes to get to the maximum height would  be half the time it is in the air, t = 0.5 x 1.8 = 0.9

therefore

0 = u - (0.5 x 9.8 x 0.9)

u = 7.9 m/s

for the second ball to get to the maximum height of the first ball, the vertical component of its initial velocity (U) must be the same as the initial velocity of the first ball. therefore

U sin 60 = 7.9

U = 7.9 ÷ sin 60

U = 9.1 m/s

Definition of distance in physics
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

A roller coaster car is going over the top of a 18-mm-radius circular rise. At the top of the hill, the passengers "feel light,"
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

0.29713 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v = Velocity

r = Radius = 18 mm

By balancing the forces in the system we have

mg-N=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow mg-\dfrac{mg}{2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{r(g-\dfrac{g}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.018\times (9.81-\dfrac{9.81}{2})}\\\Rightarrow v=0.29713\ m/s

The velocity of the coaster is 0.29713 m/s

shtirl [24]

Answer:

3g/cm³

Explanation:

<em>Use the formula:</em>

density = mass ÷ volume

<em>Substitute (plug in) the values:</em>

density = 3 ÷ 1 = 3g/cm³
