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>

The box stopped moving because there was a negative acceleration in the x direction caused by friction.
To find the average speed, simply divide the displacement by time: 10 / 2 = 5 m/s

A 16 foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the top of the ladder slides down the wall at a rate of 3 feet per second, how fa
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

11.625

Explanation:

L = length of the ladder = 16 ft

v_{y} = rate at which top of ladder slides down = - 3 ft/s

v_{x} = rate at which bottom of ladder slides

y = distance of the top of ladder from the ground

x = distance of bottom of ladder from wall = 4 ft

Using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

16² = 4² + y²

y = 15.5 ft

Also using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

Taking derivative both side relative to "t"

0 = 2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t} + 2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}

0 = x v_{x} + y v_{y}

0 = 4 v_{x} + (15.5) (- 3)

v_{x} = 11.625 ft/s

Four complete waves pass the duck in one second the frequency of this wave is
galben [10]
The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations passing a given point per second.

In this case, assuming the duck is stationary, we have 4 complete waves passing the duck in one second: therefore, the frequency of the wave is
f= \frac{4}{1 s}=4 Hz

If your body is dehydrated, the control center in the brain will stimulate the release of a hormone which causes the reabsorptio
Yanka [14]

Answer:

It is an example of negative feedback mechanism

Explanation:

Negative feedback mechanism is the process by which the output of a system, process or mechanism is fed back into the input in order to reduce the error in the system.

In the system described in this question, the reabsorption of water is the output, a feedback signal is sent to the control center, which is the input in order to control the release of the hormone responsible for reabsorption of water into the blood.

If the distance between the Earth and Moon were half what it is now, by what factor would the force of gravity between them be c
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m_1 = Mass of Earth

m_2 = Mass of Moon

r = Distance between Earth and Moon

Old gravitational force

F_o=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

New gravitational force

F_n=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}

Dividing the equations

\dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{\dfrac{1}{4}r^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4

The ratio is \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4

The new force would be 4 times the old force
