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.

Why do we need the periodic table? First to answer get brainless!!!!!
mylen [45]
<span>The periodic table is the most important chemistry reference there is. It arranges all the known elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass.

A car's fuel economy is 30 mpg. a warning light is displayed if the remaining distance that can be driven before the car runs ou
Alchen [17]
So 10 gallons of gas would let you travel 300 Miles. 

x gallons = 50 Miles

10 : 300 :: x : 50 

x = 500/300

x = 1.66667 gallons. 

So, the car would run 10 - 1.6666 gallons = 8.33 gallons.

After that, the warning light turns ON! 

Hope this helps!!

Describe two reasons why an alpha particle is less penetrating than a beta or gamma particle.
uysha [10]
Alpha particles travel through the air they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules. While they collide with these molecules, they lose some energy until all energy are used up and they are absorbed. These particles can be absorbed by a sheet of paper or by the air. On the other hand, beta particles and gamma particles move faster than the alpha particles and are poor at ionizing atoms or molecules thus it takes more of the material to be able to absorb these particles.

A 100-turn, 3.0-cm-diameter coil is at rest in a horizontal plane. A uniform magnetic field 60%u2218 away from vertical increase
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Induced emf in the coil, E = 0.157 volts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 100

Diameter of the coil, d = 3 cm = 0.03 m

Radius of the coil, r = 0.015 m

A uniform magnetic field increases from 0.5 T to 2.5 T in 0.9 s.

Due to this change in magnetic field, an emf is induced in the coil which is given by :

E=-NA\dfrac{\Delta B}{\Delta t}

E=-100\times \pi (0.015)^2\times \dfrac{2.5-0.5}{0.9}

E = -0.157 volts

Minus sign shows the direction of induced emf in the coil. Hence, the induced emf in the coil is 0.157 volts.

kramer

Answer:

Both substance will melt and become a solution.

Explanation:

When a mixture of iron filings (black substance) and sulphur powder (yellow substance) are heated in a test tube under a bunsen burner, usually they will undergo a chemical reaction where they will melt to form a new solution of ferrous sulphide.

Thus, we can say what happens is that both substances melt to form a solution.
