insens350 [35]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

0.31s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency of the ocean waves  = 3.2Hz

Unknown:

Period of the waves  = ?

Solution:

The period of a wave is the inverse of the frequency of a wave;

       Period  = \frac{1}{Frequency}

Now insert the parameters and solve;

       Period  = \frac{1}{3.2}   = 0.31s

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

183333 Pa

Explanation:

The weight of the football player is : 550 N ,thus the force the player exerts on the floor is 550 N

The area of blades in contact with the floor is = 30cm² = 0.003 m²

Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure = 550 / 0.003

Pressure = 183333 Pa

Why is an object's density expressed as a combination of two units
miss Akunina [59]
Well, first of all, EVERY physical quantity is measured in a combination
of 2 or more units, except for mass, length, time, and electric charge. 
ALL other units are made out of these.  So it should not surprise you.

[  Example:  Speed  =  (length) / (time)  ]

Density is not the mass of a substance.  It's the mass of a substance in
a standard volume of it.  So the density is made of the mass in any lump
and the volume of that lump.  That way, no matter how much of a substance
you have, you can always compare the lump you have to all other substances.

A 1-kilogram parcel of air is at 35°c and contains 7 grams of water vapor. What is the relative humidity?
Nitella [24]

Answer:

20%

Explanation:

Relative Humidity (%) = (water vapor content÷water vapor capacity) × 100

=(7÷35)×100

=(0.2)×100

=20%

According to the Temperature-Water Vapor Capacity Table, the water capacity at 35 °C is 35 grams.

Water Vapor Capacity: The amount of water (grams) which air can hold at a given temperature.

Water Vapor Content: The amount of water vapor actually present in the air.

A hydraulic lift has two connected pistons with cross-sectional areas 15 cm2 and 670 cm2. It is filled with oil of density 510 k
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Cross-sectional area of two areas is

A_1=15\ cm^2

A_2=670\ cm^2

It is filled with oil of density \rho _0=510\ kg/m^3

mass of car place on Large area M=1100\ kg

Suppose a mass of m kg is placed on smaller area

According to pascal law's intensity of pressure is same at every point on Liquid

P_1=P_2

\frac{F_1}{A_1}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}

\frac{mg}{15}=\frac{Mg}{670}

m=1100\times \frac{15}{670}

m=24.62\ kg
