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

Hannah has information about an object in circular orbit around Earth.
Elena-2011 [213]

The correct answer is:

the distance of the orbiting object to Earth.

In fact, we know that the gravitational force that keeps the object in circular motion around the Earth is equal to the centripetal force, so we can write:

G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

If we re-arrange the equation, we find an expression for the tangential speed of the object:

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

and we see that it depends on 3 quantities: G, M (the mass of the Earth) and r (the distance of the object from the Earth).

Which expression of distance uses SI units? A. 30 miles B. 16 kilograms C. 24 feet D. 500 meters
Stella [2.4K]
Hi!

SI units are physical measurements which will be in the form of kilograms, second, kelvin, metres, etc.

Since kilograms measure the weight of an object, it is out. Miles and feet are not SI units, so they are also out. This only leaves one answer left!

Hopefully, this helps! =)

A light with a second-order bright band forms a diffraction angle of 30. 0°. The diffraction grating has 250. 0 lines per mm. Wh
Luden [163]

The distance between two successive troughs or crests is known as the wavelength. The wavelength of the light will be 1000 nm.

How do you define wavelength?

The distance between two successive troughs or crests is known as the wavelength. The peak of the wave is the highest point, while the trough is the lowest.

The wavelength is also defined as the distance between two locations in a wave that have the same oscillation phase.

Diffraction angle= 30⁰

Diffraction grating per mm= 250

wavelength = ?

Mathematically the equation of bright band is given by

\rm \lambda= \frac{sin\theta}{nN}

\rm \lambda= \frac{sin23^0}{250\times 2}

\rm \lambda= 0.000001 m

\rm \lambda= 1000 nm

Hence the wavelength of the light will be 1000 nm.

To learn more about the wavelength refer to the link;
