Two boats are anchored in the harbor, separated my a horizontal distance of 14m. The boats boo up and down as waves enter the ha

rbor. When one boat is at its highest point, the other is at its lowest point and there are no crests between them. each boat makes exactly 5 complete up-and-down cycles every 15.0 s. the vertical distance between a boats highest and lowest position is 2.4m.
find the wavelength,
frequency, period, amplitude and speed

Given:

Horizontal distance between two boats = x = 14 m

One boat is at trough, the other is at crest.

As there is no crests between them meaning the boat are next to each other.

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests/troughs = w

The distance between a crest and a trough next to it = w/2

Complete cycles = c = 5

Time taken for c cycles = t = 15 s

Vertical distance between two boats = y = 2.4 m

To find:

wavelength = w = 2x = 28 m

Amplitude =  A = Displacement from mean to extreme position = y/2 = 1.2 m

Time period for one cycle = T = t/c = 15/5 = 3 s/cycle

frequency = 1/T = 1/3 = 0.33 hertz

speed = wavelength/Period = w/T = 28/3 = 9.33 m/s

A car with a mass of 1.50x10^3 kg starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 18.0m/s in 12.0 s. assume that the force of res
Luden [163]
The first thing you should know for this case is the definition of distance.
 d = v * t
 Where,
 v = speed
 t = time
 We have then:
 d = v * t
 d = 9 * 12 = 108 m
 The kinetic energy is:
 K = ½mv²
 Where,
 m: mass
 v: speed
 K = ½ * 1500 * (18) ² = 2.43 * 10 ^ 5 J
 The work due to friction is
 w = F * d
 Where,
 F = Force
 d = distance:
 w = 400 * 108 = 4.32 * 10 ^ 4
 The power will be:
 P = (K + work) / t
 Where,
 t: time
 P = 2.86 * 10 ^ 5/12 = 23.9 kW
 answer:
 the average power developed by the engine is 23.9 kW

Why society might initially reject a new scientific theory?
Irina18 [472]

I was about to say:  because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.

But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.

"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science. 

First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news.  Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.

Second, let's face it.  The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.

There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned.  But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.

That's pretty much why.
