A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s

for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.62 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 6.0 m apart. (a) How fast are the waves traveling? (b) What is the amplitude of each wave? (c) If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?

Answer:

1.2 m/s

0.31 m

0.15 m

Explanation:

Time period is

T=2.5\times 2\\\Rightarrow T=5\ s

Frequency is

f=\dfrac{1}{T}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\Rightarrow f=0.2\ Hz

Velocity is given by

v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow v=0.2\times 6\\\Rightarrow v=1.2\ m/s

The waves are traveling at 1.2 m/s

Amplitude is given by

A=\dfrac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{0.62}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=0.31\ m

Amplitude is 0.31 m

If d = 0.3 m

A=\dfrac{0.3}{2}=0.15\ m

The amplitude would be 0.15 m. The speed would remain the same.

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V?What is the total energy stores in the
Rama09 [41]

1) 1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of each plate

d is the distance between the plates

Here, the radius of each plate is

r=\frac{2.0 cm}{2}=1.0 cm=0.01 m

so the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.01 m)^2=3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2

While the separation between the plates is

d=0.50 mm=5\cdot 10^{-4} m

So the capacitance is

C=\frac{(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2)}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F

And now we can find the energy stored,which is given by:

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}(5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(200 V)^2=1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J

2) 0.71 J/m^3

The magnitude of the electric field is given by

E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{200 V}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=4\cdot 10^5 V/m

and the energy density of the electric field is given by

u=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2

and using

E=4\cdot 10^5 V/m, we find

u=\frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(4\cdot 10^5 V/m)^2=0.71 J/m^3

Why do objects move at constant speed
kati45 [8]
Most objects move at a constant speed because of friction and acceleration. The constant speed keeps them in place, and keeps a balance.
