If eight water waves pass an ocean buoy each minute, and successive wave crests are 20 m apart, find the wave speed:____________

______
Physics
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The wave speed is calculated below:

Explanation:

Given,

number of waves passed per minute = 8

time period = 1 minute = 60 s

distance between successive wave crests = 20 m

waves passing interval per second = \frac{8}{60} s^{-1}

Now,

wave speed = 20 m × \frac{8}{60} s^{-1}

                     = \frac{8}3} m/s

                     = 2.67 m/s

Hence the wave speed is 2.67 m/s.

How many calories are needed to raise the temperature of 2g of water 3 C?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The number of calories needed is 6c.

Explanation:

The amount of energy Q needed to raise the temperature \Delta T of water of mass m is

Q = mC\Delta T

where C = 1cal/g\cdot C is the specific heat capacity of water.

Putting in numbers into equation (1), we get:

Q = (2g)(1)(3^oC )\\

\boxed{Q = 6\:cal }

which is the number of calories needed.

A person hears a siren as a fire truck approaches and passes by. The frequency varies from 480Hz on approach to 400Hz going away
alekssr [168]

Answer:

31.2 m/s

Explanation:

f_{app} = Frequency of approach = 480 Hz

f_{aw} = Frequency of going away = 400 Hz

V = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

v = Speed of truck

Frequency of approach is given as

f_{app} = \frac{Vf}{V - v}                           eq-1

Frequency of moving awayy is given as

f_{aw} = \frac{Vf}{V + v}                          eq-2

Dividing eq-1 by eq-2

\frac{f_{app}}{f_{aw}} = \frac{V + v}{V - v}

\frac{480}{400} = \frac{343 + v}{343 - v}

v = 31.2 m/s
