A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

e of the water. It takes a time of 2.00 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.600 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.40 m apart.
Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?

Answer:

a. Speed = 1.6 m/s

b. Amplitude = 0.3 m

c. Speed = 1.6 m/s

Amplitude = 0.15 m

Explanation:

a.

The frequency of the wave must be equal to the reciprocal of the time taken by the boat to move from the highest point to the highest point again. This time will be twice the value of the time taken to travel from the highest point to the lowest point:

frequency = \frac{1}{2(2\ s)} = 0.25 Hz

The wavelength of the wave is the distance between consecutive crests of wave. Therefore,

Wavelength = 6.4 m

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:

Speed = (Frequency)(Wavelength)

Speed = (0.25 Hz)(6.4 m)

<u>Speed = 1.6 m/s</u>

<u></u>

b.

Amplitude is the distance between the mean position of the wave and the extreme position. Hence, it will be half the distance between the highest and lowest point:

Amplitude = (0.5)(0.6 m)

<u>Amplitude = 0.3 m</u>

<u></u>

c.

frequency = \frac{1}{2(2\ s)} = 0.25 Hz

Speed = (Frequency)(Wavelength)

Speed = (0.25 Hz)(6.4 m)

<u>Speed = 1.6 m/s</u>

<u></u>

Amplitude = (0.5)(0.3 m)

<u>Amplitude = 0.15 m</u>

Amiraneli [1.4K]
Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.

Complete Question

Red blood cells can be modeled as spheres of 6.53 μm diameter with −2.55×10−12 C excess charge uniformly distributed over the surface. Find the electric field at the following locations, with radially outward defined as the positive direction and radially inward defined as the negative direction. The permittivity of free space ????0 is 8.85×10−12 C/(V⋅m). What is the electric field

E⃗ 1 inside the cell at a distance of 3.05 μm from the center?

E⃗ 2 Just inside the surface of the cell

E⃗ 3 Just outside the surface of the cell

E⃗ 4 At a point outside the cell 3.05 μm from the surface

Answer:

E⃗ 1

      0 V/m

E⃗ 2

      0 V/m

E⃗ 3

         E_3 =  2.153 *10^{9} \  V/m

E⃗ 4

E_4 =  5.754 *10^ {8} \  V/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter is d =  6.53 \mu m  = 6.53*10^{-6}\  m

The charge is Q =  -.2.55 *10^{-12} \  C

The permittivity of free space is \epsilon_o  =  8.85* 10^{-12}\  C / V.m

The distance considered is d =  3.05 \mu m  =  3.05 *10^{-6} \ m

Generally the electric field inside the cell at a distance of 3.05 μm from the center is

0 V/m

This because there is no electric field felt inside the cell according Gauss the cell is taken as a point charge

Generally the electric field just inside the surface of the cell is 0 V/m

This because there is no electric field felt inside the cell according Gauss the cell is taken as a point charge

Generally the electric field just outside the cell is mathematically represented as

E_3 =  \frac{ k  *  |Q|}{ r^2 }

Here k is the coulomb constant with value

k  =   9*10^{9}\ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}

r is the radius of the sphere which is mathematically as

r =  \frac{d}{2} =   \frac{6.53*10^{-6}}{2}  = 3.265 *10^{-6} \  m

E_3 =  \frac{ 9*10^{9}  *  |-2.55 *10^{-12} |}{ [3.265 *10^{-6} ]^2 }

E_3 =  2.153 *10^{9} \  V/m

Generally the electric field at a point outside the cell 3.05 μm from the surface is mathematically represented as

E_4 =  \frac{ k  *  |Q|}{ R^2 }

Here R is mathematically represented as

R  =  3.265 *10^{-6} +  3.05 *10^{-6}

=>       R  =  6.315 *10^{-6}

So

E_4 =  \frac{ 9*10^{9}  *  |-2.55 *10^{-12} |}{ [ 6.315 *10^{-6} ]^2 }

E_4 =  5.754 *10^ {8} \  V/m
