A stationary source S generates circular outgoing waves on a lake. The wave speed is 5.0 m/s and the crest-to-crest distance is

2.0 m. A person in a motorboat heads directly toward S at 3.0 m/s. To this person, the frequency of these waves is:

4 0

Answer:4 Hz

Explanation:

Speed of wave v=5 m/s

crest to crest distance \lambda =2 m

velocity of observer v_0=3 m/s

actual frequency f=\frac{velocity}{\lambda }

f=\frac{5}{2}=2.5 Hz

Apparent frequency f'=f(\frac{v+v_0}{v})

f'=2.5\times \frac{5+3}{5}

f'=4 Hz

What is the combined resistance for two resistors with resistances of 10 Ohms and 23.7 Ohms if they are connected in series
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: 33.7Ω

Explanation:

Since there are two resistors connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2

R1 = 10Ω

R2 = 23.7Ω

Hence, Rtotal = 10Ω + 23.7Ω

Rtotal = 33.7Ω

Thus, the combined resistance for two resistors is 33.7Ω

A boat leaves the dock at t = 0.00 s and, starting from rest, maintains a constant acceleration of (0.461 m/s2)i relative to the
liberstina [14]

Answer:

At t=4.82 s, the boat is moving at 3.464 m/s.

At t=4.82 s, the boat is 13.112 m from the dock.

Explanation:

The speed of the boat in j'th direction remains constant for all times (vj=2.16 m/s), however, the speed in i'th direction is changing due to the constant acceleration (0.461 m/s^2)i.

In order to find the velocity of the boat a t=4.82 s, first we need to compute the velocity of the boat relative to the water in the i direction (vi_b) at t=4.82 s:

vi_b = a*t = (0.461 m/s^2)*(4.82 s) = 2.222 m/s

Now, we add this velocity to the velocity of the water in the i direction:

vi = vi_b + vi_w = 2.222 m/s + 0.486 m/s = 2.708 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the boat at t = 4.82 s is: v = (vi, vj) = (2.708, 2.16) m/s. Finally, to find its speed, we just calculate the magnitude of v and obtain that the speed is: 3.464 m/s.

For the second question, first we will find the distance that the boat moved in the i'th direction and then in the j'th direction.

The speed in the i'th direction, for all times, is given by:

(0.485 + 0.461*t) and in order to find the distance advanced in the i'th direction (di) during 4.82 s, we need to integrate this velocity:

di = 0.485*t + (0.461*t^2)/2 (evaluated from t=0 to t =4.82) = 0.485*(4.82) + (0.461*(4.82)^2)/2 = 2.337 + 5.634 = 7.971 m

The speed in j'th direction, for all times, is given by:

2.16 and in order to find the distance advanced in the j'th direction (dj) during 4.82 s, we need to integrate this velocity:

dj = 2.16*t (evaluated from t=0 to t =4.82) = (2.16)*(4.82) = 10.411 m

Using Pythagoras' Theorem, we find that the the boat is at 13.112 m from the dock at t = 4.82 s.

A seismographic station receives S and P waves from an earthquake, separated in time by 17.8 s. Assume the waves have traveled o
Georgia [21]

Answer:

D = 230.2 Km

Explanation:

let distance between seismograph and focus of quake is D

From time distance formula we  can calculate the time taken by the S wave

T_1 =\frac{D}{4.5}

From time distance formula we  can calculate the time taken by the P wave

T_2 =\frac{D}{6.90}

It is given in equation both waves are seperated from each other by 17.8 sec

so we have

T_1 - T_2 = 17.8sec

Putting both time value to get distance value

\frac{D}{4.5} - \frac{D}{6.90} = 17.8

D = 230.2 Km
