A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.80

for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.620 . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 6.40 apart.
How fast are the waves traveling? in m/s

What is the amplitude of each wave? in m

If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, how fast are the waves traveling ? in m/s

If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, what is the amplitude of each wave? in m

Answer:

a)1.14

b)0.31

c)1.14

d)0.25

Explanation:

Assume wave travels in a harmonic motion. This means if it takes 2.8 for the boat to travel from highest to lowest point, then it'd take 2.8*2 = 5.6 for the boat to travel in 1 period (from highest point to lowest point then back to highest point again).

a)As the wave crest is 6.4 apart. Then it's speed is

v = s/t = 6.4/5.6 = 1.14

b) The amplitude would be half of the vertical distance traveled by the boat, which is

A = 0.62 / 2 = 0.31

c) As the distance between the crest and the time it takes for the boat to travel vertically is unchanged, then the wave speed would stay the same:

v = 1.14

d) The amplitude would again be half of the vertical distance

A = 0.5 / 2 = 0.25

Which fact was most likely discovered between the time of Mendeleev’s table and the time of Moseley’s table that helped Moseley
igomit [66]

Answer:

The number of protons in an atom is different than the atom's total mass.

Explanation:

Mendeleev had presented the first structured periodic table in 1869. But, in 1913, Henry Moseley developed the modern periodic table. The crucial difference between the two periodic tables is that Mendeleev's periodic table is generated on the basis of the atomic masses of chemical elements while the chemical element's atomic numbers were the main focus of Moseley's periodic table. There were just 56 chemical elements in Mendeleev's periodic table. On the other hand, 74 chemical elements are presented in Moseley's periodic table.

An electron is projected vertically upward with a speed of 1.70 ✕ 106 m/s into a uniform magnetic field of 0.320 t that is direc
Serggg [28]
The electron's path in the magnetic field is a straight line when viewed from above.

In fact, the electron initially moves upward, while the magnetic field is directed horizontally. The electron experiences a force due to the magnetic field (the Lorentz force), whose direction is given by the right-hand rule:
- index finger --> initial direction of the electron (upward)
- middle finger --> direction of the magnetic field (horizontally, away from the observer)
- opposite direction to the thumb* --> direction of the force (horizontally, but perpendicular to the magnetic field, to the right)

This means that the Lorentz force makes the electron moving perpendicular to the magnetic field in the horizontal plane, and since the direction of the field is not changing, this force does not change its direction, so the electron moves in the same direction of the force in the horizontal plane (to the right), therefore following a straight line.

* the direction should be reversed because the charge is negative.

Answer:

variations in great horned owl body size due to food supply can be acted on by natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection can help select great horned owl with smaller body size since it's an advantage in a place with smaller available food sources, compared to a bigger body size that will need more food. At first, birds with smaller body survive while those bigger ones die out, and the smaller birds pass on this genes to their offspring.

Answer:

variation in body size due to inherited traits can be acted on by natural selection

Explanation :

Variations in body size in body size due to inherited trait can be acted upon by natural selection by favoring the size that is best suited for the survival of the species. Those with these genes survive and pass it on to their offspring, while those with the unfavorable body size are wiped out.
