(b) speed at which the wave is traveling through the canal
2 m/s

Answer:

a. 0.18Hz

b. 0.56m/s

Explanation:

From the question we can deduct the following parameters

The wavelength, λ is define as the distance between two successful crest or trough and from the question we conclude that wavelength is 3.17m.

Also the period of the wave T can be computed as

T=22.6/4

T=5.65secs.

a. To compute the frequency, recall that frequency, F=1/period.

Hence,

F=1/5.65

F=0.18Hz

b. Next we compute the wave speed.

Wave speed=frequency *wavelength

Wave speed =0.18*3.17

Wave speed =0.56m/s

labwork [276]

Assemblage is an additive process where artists construct work by putting together objects and attaches them in some way. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b". This kind of artistry actually gives a three dimensional impression to the work that is done by the artist.

A 65-kg person stands on a scale in a moving elevator while holding a 5.0 kg mass suspended from a massless spring with spring c

disa [49]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. However, I believe, it is asking for the acceleration of the elevator. This is 3.16 m/s².

Explanation:

By Hooke's law, $F = ke$

F is the force on a spring, k is the spring constant and e is the extension or compression.

From the question,

$F = (1.08\text{ kN/m}) \times (6.0 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m}) = 64.8 \text{ N}$

This is the force on the mass suspended on the spring. Its acceleration, a, is given by

$F = ma$

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a = \dfrac{64.8 \text{ N}}{5\text{ kg}} = 12.96\text{ m/s}^2$

This acceleration is more than the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s². Hence the elevator must be moving up with an acceleration of

12.96 - 9.8 m/s² = 3.16 m/s²

A spherical shell is rolling without slipping at constant speed on a level floor. What percentage of the shell's total kinetic e

IgorC [24]

Answer:

41.667 per cent of the total kinetic energy is translational kinetic energy.

Explanation:

As the spherical shell is rolling without slipping at constant speed, the system can be considered as conservative due to the absence of non-conservative forces (i.e. drag, friction) and energy equation can be expressed only by the Principle of Energy Conservation, whose total energy is equal to the sum of rotational and translational kinetic energies. That is to say:

$E = K_{t} + K_{r}$

Where:

$E$ - Total energy, measured in joules.

$K_{r}$ - Rotational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

$K_{t}$ - Translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

The spherical shell can be considered as a rigid body, since there is no information of any deformation due to the motion. Then, rotational and translational components of kinetic energy are described by the following equations:

Rotational kinetic energy

$K_{r} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot I_{g}\cdot \omega^{2}$

Translational kinetic energy

$K_{t} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}$

Where:

$I_{g}$ - Moment of inertia of the spherical shell with respect to its center of mass, measured in $kg\cdot m^{2}$ .

$\omega$ - Angular speed of the spherical shell, measured in radians per second.

$R$ - Radius of the spherical shell, measured in meters.

After replacing each component and simplifying algebraically, the total energy of the spherical shell is equal to:

$E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (I_{g} + m\cdot R^{2})\cdot \omega^{2}$

In addition, the moment of inertia of a spherical shell is equal to:

$I_{g} = \frac{2}{3}\cdot m\cdot R^{2}$

Then, total energy is reduced to this expression:

$E = \frac{5}{6}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}$

The fraction of the total kinetic energy that is translational in percentage is given by the following expression:

$\%K_{t} = \frac{K_{t}}{E}\times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2} }{\frac{5}{6}\cdot m \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2} } \times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = \frac{5}{12}\times 100\,\%$

$\%K_{t} = 41.667\,\%$

41.667 per cent of the total kinetic energy is translational kinetic energy.
