A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s
gulaghasi [49]

(a) 0.96 m/s

The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:

T=2\cdot 2.5 s=5.0 s

The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.20 Hz

The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so

\lambda=4.8 m

And the wave speed is given by:

v=\lambda f=(4.8 m)(0.20 Hz)=0.96 m/s

(b) 0.265 m

The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is

d = 0.53 m

The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.53 m}{2}=0.265 m

(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before

In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,

d = 0.30 m

So the amplitude would be

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.30 m}{2}=0.15 m

Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.

Eugene describes the physical property of a material as “sweet and floral.” What physical property of the material is Eugene mos
shusha [124]

The correct answer would be odor. Because it's sweet.  Boiling shape and hardness have nothing to do with sweet and floral :)

What type of heat transfer is used to fry an egg in a pan and how can you tell?
Deffense [45]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which transfer of heat occurring when one object touches another object is known as conduction.  

For example, when a pan is heated and then an egg is placed over the pan. Then there will be transfer of heat from pan towards the egg.

As a result, the egg gets cooked because the egg was touching the pan.

Hence, we can conclude that it is conduction because the egg is touching the pan.

Answer:

Speed at which it will reach the ground is given as

v_f = 46.8 m/s

Total time for which it will remain in air is given as

t = 6.3 s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is projected upwards with speed

v_i = 15 m/s

g = - 9.81 m/s^2

now when it will reach the ground then we have

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

so we have

-100 = 15 t - \frac{1}{2}(-9.81) t^2

4.905 t^2 - 15 t - 100 = 0

so we have

t = 6.3 s

Now speed of the object when it reaches the ground is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = -15 + (9.81)(6.3)

v_f = 46.8 m/s
