Two boats - Boat A and Boat B - are anchored a distance of 24 meters apart. The incoming water waves force the boats to oscillat

e up and down, making one complete cycle every 10 seconds. When Boat A is at its peak, Boat B is at its low point and there is a crest in between the two boats. The vertical distance between Boat A and Boat B at their extreme is 8 meters. The wavelength is ___ m, the period is ___ s, the frequency is ___ Hz, and the amplitude is ___ m.

Answer:

wavelength = 24 m

Period = 10 s

f = 0.1 Hz

Amplitude = 4 m

Explanation:

Wavelength:

Since the boats are at crest and trough, respectively at the same time. Hence, the horizontal distance between them is the wavelength of the wave:

<u>wavelength = 24 m</u>  

Period:

The period is given as:

Period = \frac{time}{no.\ of\ cycles} \\\\Period = \frac{10\ s}{1}\\\\

<u>Period = 10 s</u>

<u></u>

Frequency:

The frequency is given as:

f = \frac{1}{time\ period}\\\\f = \frac{1}{10\ s}\\\\

<u>f = 0.1 Hz</u>

<u></u>

Amplitude:

Amplitude will be half the distance between extreme points, that is, crest and trough:

Amplitude = 8 m/2

<u>Amplitude = 4 m</u>

Even though earth has ____ mass than the sun, the moon orbits earth because it much nearer to it.
kozerog [31]

Even though the Earth has less mass than the Sun, the moon orbits Earth because it’s much nearer to it.

<u>Explanation :</u>

The fact is that the Moon orbits both the Sun and the Earth. On looking at the orbit of the Moon, it orbits in the same manner the way Earth does, but in a Spiro graph pattern along with orbiting the Earth with a small wobble to it.  

Since the Sun has greater distance from the Moon as compared to the Earth (around 400 times), the gravity of Earth draws better impact on the Moon.  

The escape velocity of the Moon is about 1.2 km/s at the distance from the Earth which is not sufficient to get ripped away from the Earth.  

Hence, the moon orbits the Earth along with orbiting the Sun together with the Earth, but seems as if it only orbits the Moon.

Describe the difference between distance, position, and displacement
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Position is the location of the object (whether it's a person, a ball, or a particle) at a given moment in time.</em>

<em>Displacement is the difference in the object's position from one time to another.</em>

<em>Distance is the total amount the object has traveled in a certain period of time.</em>

Three pendulums all have the same length and start from the same height. The first pendulum is very light and has a mass of 67 g
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

All three pendulum will attain same velocity

Explanation:

All three pendulum will attain same velocity irrespective of their mass difference in isolated system (means where air drag are negligible) and at same length

As you know when velocity is calculated we can not take mass into account.
