If you were on the open ocean on a large ship, what steps would you do to determine the height of a wave?

The first step to take is to check the anemometer to determine the intensity of the wind blowing in the open ocean. The measurement is in terms of knots or nautical miles. Next, we use a Beaufort scale to check what range the knots falls in. Using the scale, we can see what is the height of the wave. The Beaufort scale is used in open oceans only

A twin-sized air mattress used for camping has dimensions of 100 cm by 194 cm by 14 cm when blown up. The weight of the mattress

Paul [167]

Answer:

$2625.156\ \text{N}$

Explanation:

Dimensions of mattress 100 cm by 194 cm by 14 cm

$m_m$ = Mass of mattress = 4 kg

$\rho$ = Density of water = $1000\ \text{kg/m}^3$

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

Volume of mattress

$V=100\times 194\times 14=271600\ \text{cm}^3=0.2716\ \text{m}^3$

Weight of water displaced is equal to the buoyant force

Mass of water

$m=\rho V\\\Rightarrow m=1000\times 0.2716\\\Rightarrow m=271.6\ \text{kg}$

Mass of person would be

$m_p=m-m_m=271.6-4\\\Rightarrow m_p=267.6\ \text{kg}$

Weight of the person would be

$w=m_pg\\\Rightarrow w=267.6\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow w=2625.156\ \text{N}$

The air mattress could hold a person that weighs up to $2625.156\ \text{N}$ .

Which electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelength? (A. Radio waves b. X-rays c.infrared rays or d. Visible light)

RSB [31]

X-rays have the shortest wavelength of any waves on that particular list.
Gamma ray waves are shorter than X-rays, but they're not on that list.
