(a) The frequency of water wave is 2 Hz.

(b) The wave speed of the water wave is 3.6 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

(a) It is known that completion of one complete wave in 1 second is defined as frequency of 1 HZ. So here there are 120 waves crossing the boat in 1 minute. So the frequency of the water wave will be

$Frequency =\frac{\text { Number of waves }}{\text { Time in seconds }}$

As the time is 1 minute which is equal to 60 seconds and the number of waves is given as 120 then the frequency of the water wave is

$\text { Frequency }=\frac{120}{60}=2 \mathrm{Hz}$

So the frequency of water wave is 2 Hz.

(b) Then if the wavelength of the water wave is 1.8 m with a frequency of 2 Hz, then speed of the wave can be determined as the product of wavelength with frequency.

So Speed = Frequency × Wavelength

Speed = 2 × 1.8 = 3.6 m/s.

So the speed of the water wave is 3.6 m/s.

We can solve this problem using the law of conservation of energy.
This law states that energy in a closed system must stay same.
That means that the energy of a ball leaving the hand and the energy of a ball when it reaches its maximum height must be the same.
The energy of a ball leaving the players hand is kinetic energy:
$E_k=\frac{mv^2}{2}$
The energy when the ball reaches its maximum height ( and has zero velocity) is potential energy in a gravitational field:
$E_p=mgh$
As said before these energies must be the same, and that allows us to find the initial speed:
$E_k=E_p\\
\frac{mv^2}{2}=mgh\\
v^2=2gh\\
v=\sqrt{2gh}$
When we plug in all the number we get that $v=14\frac{m}{s}$

Why must the difference between the water level in the eudiometer tube and the water level in the beaker be measured

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The difference between the water level in the eudiometer tube and the water level in the beaker must be measured because we have to put into consideration, the pressure of the gases in the eudiometer tube. This said pressure of gas in the eudiometer must equal the atmospheric pressure. If or by chance, the water levels happens not to be at the same height, then this is not the case. And then, as a result, in order to account for the difference between both, while also being able to get accurate results, you have to find the difference or subtract the water levels and then go ahead in converting them to mmHg.

A tennis player tosses a tennis ball straight up and then catches it after 2.00 s at the same height as the point of release. (a

Answer:

Part a)

a = -9.81 m/s/s

Part b)

v = 0

Part c)

v = 9.81 m/s

Part d)

$H = 4.905 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

During the motion of ball it will have only gravitational force on the ball

so here the acceleration of the ball is only due to gravity

so it is given as

$a = g = 9.81 m/s^2$

Part b)

As we know that ball is moving against the gravity

so here the velocity of ball will keep on decreasing as the ball moves upwards

so at the highest point of the motion of the ball the speed of ball reduce to zero

$v_f = 0$

Part c)

We know that the total time taken by the ball to come back to the initial position is T = 2 s

so in this time displacement of the ball will be zero

$\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$0 = v_y (2) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(2^2)$

$v_y = 9.81 m/s$

Part d)

at the maximum height position we know that the final speed will be zero

so we will have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

here we have

$0 - (9.81^2) = 2(-9.81)H$

$H = 4.905 m$

We’ve already investigated this problem with one spring scale in Think About 34.1. Now, imagine you have two spring scales, A an

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

1.Each of the spring scale will read 10N,considering acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s^2

2.Each of the spring scale will read 10N because each string exerts a force of 10 N to counterbalance the force of 1 kg mass attached to it. This means the tension on the both side of the string is 10 N. So the scale will read 10 N. Also as spring balances are attached in series and kept on table so both spring balances will read same readings.
