Physics

The speed of the wave is 1.58 meters per second (or 1.584 if you don’t round it).
You multiply wavelength by frequency to get the speed of a wave.
2.4 times 0.66 = 1.548 meters per second.

If you didn’t have the frequency before hand, you would just divide the 6 crests by the 9.1 seconds.

Ships A and B leave port together. For the next two hours, ship A travels at 40.0 mph in a direction 35.0° west of north while t
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Ship A velocity is 40 mph and is traveling 35 west of north

Therefore in 2 hours it will travel 40\times 2=80 miles

thus its position vector after two hours is

r_A=-80sin35\hat{i}+80cos35\hat{j}

similarly B travels with 20 mph and in 2 hours

=20\times 2=40 miles Its position vector[tex]r_B=40sin80\hat{i}+40cos80\hat{j}

Thus distance between A and B  is

r_{AB}=\left ( -40sin80-80sin35\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 80cos35-40cos80\right )\hat{j}

|r_{AB}|=\sqrt{\left ( -40sin80-80sin35\right )^2+\left ( 80cos35-40cos80\right )^2}

|r_{AB}|=103.45 miles

Velocity of A

v_A=-40sin35\hat{i}+40cos35\hat{j}

Velocity of B

v_B=20sin80\hat{i}+20cos80\hat{j}

Velocity of A w.r.t B

v_{AB}=v_A-v_B

v_{AB}=\left ( -20sin80-40sin35\right )\hat{i}+\left ( 40cos35-20cos80\right )\hat{j}

Two forces act in opposite directions on a wood block. What will happen if the forces are unbalanced?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

If two unequal forces act in opposite directions, one larger force must cancel out the smaller force,

leaving the net force to be some number in one direction.

Take for example a game of tug-of-war; there are two  OPPOSITE forces (groups of people) acting on the rope, one force is pulling with a force in the negative direction while the other force is pulling in the positive direction.

If the forces on the rope were unequal, then the stronger force (group) will pull everything in their direction.

The same will happen on two unequal forces of opposite directions acting on a wooden block. Therefore, since the resultant force will have a non-zero magnitude and direction, there will be a change in the block's motion and position.

A particle moves along the x-axis so that its velocity at anytime is t greater than or equal to 0 is given by v(t)=1-sin(2pi t)
UkoKoshka [18]
A) We differentiate the expression for velocity to obtain an expression for acceleration:
v(t) = 1 - sin(2πt)
dv/dt = -2πcos(2πt)
a = -2πcos(2πt)

b) Any value of t can be plugged in as long as it is greater than or equal to 0. 

c) we integrate the expression of velocity to find an expression for displacement:
∫v(t) dt = ∫ 1 - sin(2πt) dt
x(t) = t + cos(2πt)/2π + c
x(0) = 0
0 = = + cos(0)/2π + c
c = -1/2π
x(t) = t + cos(2πt)/2π -1/2π
