A swimming duck paddles the water with its feet once per time interval of 1.6 s, producing surface waves with this period. The d

uck is moving at constant speed in a pond where the speed of surface waves is 0.40 m/s, and the crests of the waves ahead of the duck have a spacing of 0.20 m.
Part A: What is the duck's speed?
Part B: How far apart are the crests behind the duck?

Answer:

a. 0.275m/s

b. 1.08m

Explanation:

Since the duck the paddle the water at an interval of 1.6sec, we can determine the frequency of the wave formed using the equation

f=1/T

Where T is the period.

f=1/1.6

f=0.625Hz.

Also from the equation used in determining the speed of a wave

V=fλ,

v=0.625*0.2

v=0.125m/s

in the question it was stated that that the duck produce a wave moving at a speed of 0.40m/s.

Hence the speed of the duck is

v(duck)=0.40-0.125

v(duck)=0.275m/s

b. The distance between the crest behind the duck is the wavelength of the waves.

To determine this, the wavelength is expressed as

λ=v/f

but the speed in this case is the speed of the duck and the surface wave,as this account for the wave speed behind the duck,

Hence we have

λ=(0.40+0.275)/0.625

λ=1.08m.

The wavelength behind the duck is 1.08m

1. A 100-kg crate is pulled across a warehouse floor using a rope with a force of 250 N at an angle of 45o from the horizontal.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

(a) The net force is 80.394 N

    The acceleration of the crate is 0.804 m/s²

(b) the final velocity of the crate is 5.02 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the crate, m = 100 kg

applied force, F = 250 N

angle of inclination, θ = 45°

coefficient of friction, μ = 0.12

Applied force in y-direction, F_y = Fsin \theta = 250sin45 = 176.78 \ N

Applied force in x-direction, F_x = Fcos \theta = 250cos45 = 176.78 \ N

The normal force is calculated as;

N + Fy -W = 0

N = W - Fy

N = (100 x 9.8) - 176.78

N = 980 - 176.78 = 803.22 N

The frictional force is given by;

Fk = μN

Fk = 0.12 x 803.22

Fk = 96.386 N

(a) The net force is given by;

F_{net} = F_x - F_k\\\\F_{net} = 176.78-96.386\\\\F_{net} = 80.394 \ N

Apply Newton's second law of  motion;

F = ma

a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}\\\\ a = \frac{80.394}{100}\\\\ a = 0.804 \ m/s^2

(b) the velocity of the crate after 5.0 s

F = ma= \frac{m(v-u)}{t} \\\\Ft =m(v-u)\\\\v-u = \frac{Ft}{m}\\\\ v = \frac{Ft}{m} + u\\\\v = \frac{F_{net}*t}{m} + u\\\\v = \frac{80.394*5}{100} + 1\\\\v = 5.02 \ m/s

After a magnetic field is applied, how many energy levels would you expect for then=3,ℓ=2 state, including electron spin?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The energy level is 5.

Explanation:

Given that,

n = 3

l = 2

We know that,

l shows the number of sub-shells and define the number of angular nodes.

n shows the number of electron shell.

m_{l} is a quantum number. It is define the number of energy level in a sub-shells .

m_{s} is define the spin of the electron.

So, The quantum number is

m_{l}=-2,-1,0,1,2

m_{s} is +\dfrac{1}{2} and -\dfrac{1}{2} for every energy level.

The energy level is 5.

Hence, The energy level is 5.

Imagine you are holding an apple. how could you increase the potential energy of this apple?
Ray Of Light [21]

If you're holding the apple at your waist, lift it to your mouth.
Potential energy relative to any level is proportional to its height
above that level.  Increase that height, and you've increased the
potential energy.

Since energy is conserved ... it never magically appears or
disappears ... you need to tell where that extra energy for the
apple came from.

It's exactly the work you did ... the force of your muscles acting
through the distance you raised the apple ... that became the
additional potential energy that the apple gained.

Which of the Materials are insulators? (select all that apply)
DENIUS [597]
I believe all the insulators would be glass, wood, plastic, and yarn.

But I’m not entirely sure if mechanical pencil lead is an insulator or conductor.

Hope this helps.
