Answer:

Distance between two adjacent wave crests = 24m

Explanation:

Distance= speed × time

Distance traveled by waves in 60 seconds (15 crests)= 15 × distance

15 × distance = 6,0 (meters/second) × 60 seconds

distance = (360 meters) / 15 = 24 meters (between two adyacent waves)

A 70-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.60 m,
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

3.6 KJ

Explanation: Given that a 70-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.60 m, and ends with a speed of 8.5 m/s. How much nonconservative work (in kJ) was done on the boy

The workdone = the energy.

There are two different energies in the scenario - the potential energy (P.E ) and the kinetic energy ( K.E )

P.E = mgh

P.E = 70 × 9.8 × 1.6

P.E = 1097.6 J

P.E = 1.098 KJ

K.E = 1/2mv^2

K.E = 1/2 × 70 × 8.5^2

K.E = 2528.75 J

K.E = 2.529 KJ

The non conservative workdone = K.E + P.E

Work done = 1.098 + 2.529

Work done = 3.63 KJ

Therefore, the non conservative workdone is 3.6 KJ approximately

A binary star system consists of two stars of masses m1 and m2. The stars, which gravitationally attract each other, revolve aro
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

 a₂ = m₁ / m₂ a₁

Explanation:

For this exercise we note that the attraction between the two stars is an action and reaction force, therefore it has the same magnitude, but it is applied to each of the bodies

Let's apply Newton's second law on the star 1

     F₁ = m₁ a₁

Newton's second law in star 2

       F₂ = m₂ a₂

       | F₁ | = | F₂ |

      m₁  a₁ = m₂  a₂

      a₂ = m₁ / m₂ a₁

An image of the moon is focused onto a screen using a converging lens of focal length f= 34.3 cm. The diameter of the moon is 3.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The diameter of the moon's image is 0.31 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Focal length = 34.3 cm

Diameter of the moon d=3.48\times10^{6}\ m

Mean distance from the earth d=3.85\times10^{8}\ m

At that distance the object is assumes to be at infinity. hence the image will be formed at a distance equal to focal length

So, the image distance is 34.3 cm.

We need to calculate the  diameter of the moon's image

Using formula of magnification

m= \dfrac{image\ distance}{object\ distance}=\dfrac{height\ of\ image}{height\ of\ object}

\dfrac{0.343}{3.85\times10^{8}}=\dfrac{h'}{3.48\times10^{6}}

h'=\dfrac{0.343\times3.48\times10^{6}}{3.85\times10^{8}}

h'=0.0031\ m= 0.31\ cm

Hence, The diameter of the moon's image is 0.31 cm.
