Waves begin to "feel bottom" when the depth of water is
LekaFEV [45]
I think the correct answer would be one half the wavelength. Waves would "feel bottom" when the water is at the depth of 0.5 of the wavelength. "Feel bottom" is a term used to describe that the depth of water affects the wave properties. Hope this answers the question.

A rope is tied to a box and used to pull the box 2.3 m along a horizontal floor. The rope makes an angle of 30∘ with the horizon
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

A) The work done by gravity is zero because displacement and the gravitational force are perpendicular to each other.

W= FS cosθ

θ= 90 ⇒cos90 = 0 ⇒W= 0

B) work done by tension

W= Tcosθ×S= 5cos30×2.30= 10J

C) Work done by friction force

W= f×s=1×2.30= 2.30 J

D) Work done by normal force is Zero because the displacement and the normal force are perpendicular to each other.

E) The net work done= Work done by tension in the rope - frictional work

=10-2.30= 7.7 J

A hammer exerts 49.8 N of force on the head (r=0.00510 m) of a nail. How much pressure does it exert on the nail?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

609547.12 Pa ≈ 6.10×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Pressure (P) =..?

Step 2:

Determination of the area of the head of the nail.

The head of a nail is circular in nature. Therefore, the area is given by:

Area (A) = πr²

With the above formula we can obtain the area as follow:

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Area (A) =?

A = πr²

A = π x (0.00510)²

A = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Therefore the area of the head of the nail is 8.17×10^-5 m²

Step 3:

Determination of the pressure exerted by the hammer.

This is illustrated below:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Area (A) = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Pressure (P) =..?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F/A

P = 49.8/8.17×10^-5

P = 609547.12 N/m²

Now, we shall convert 609547.12 N/m² to Pa.

1 N/m² = 1 Pa

Therefore, 609547.12 N/m² = 609547.12 Pa.

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the hammer on the nail is 609547.12 Pa or 6.10×10^5 Pa

A car moving with an initial speed of 25 m/s slows down to a speed of 5 m/s in 10 seconds Calculate a) the acceleration of the c
stealth61 [152]

Answer :

(a) The acceleration  of the car is, -2m/s^2

(b) The distance covered by the car is, 150 m

Explanation :  

By the 1st equation of motion,

v=u+at ...........(1)

where,

v = final velocity = 5 m/s

u = initial velocity  = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration  of the car = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation 1, we get:

5m/s=25m/s+a\times (10s)

a=-2m/s^2

The acceleration  of the car is, -2m/s^2

By the 2nd equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2 ...........(2)

where,

s = distance covered by the car = ?

u = initial velocity  = 25 m/s

t = time = 10 s

a = acceleration  of the car = -2m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above equation 2, we get:

s=(25m/s)\times (10s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (-2m/s^2)\times (10s)^2

By solving the term, we get:

s=150m

The distance covered by the car is, 150 m
