Ocean waves of wavelength 26 m are moving directly toward a concrete barrier wall at 4.0 m/s . The waves reflect from the wall,

and the incoming and reflected waves overlap to make a lovely standing wave with an antinode at the wall. (Such waves are a common occurrence in certain places.) A kayaker is bobbing up and down with the water at the first antinode out from the wall.
Required:
How far from the wall is she? What is the period of her up-and-down motion?

Answer:

a) the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

wavelength λ = 26 m

velocity v = 4.0 m/s

a) How far from the wall is she?

Now, The first antinode is formed at a distance λ/2 from the wall, since the separation distance between the person and wall is;

x = λ/2

we substitute

x = 26 m / 2

x = 13 m

Therefore, the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) What is the period of her up-and-down motion?

we know that the relationship between frequency, wavelength and wave speed is;

v = fλ

hence, f = v/λ

we also know that frequency is expressed as the reciprocal of the time period;

f = 1/T

Hence

1/T = v/λ

solve for T

Tv = λ

T = λ/v

we substitute

T = 26 m / 4 m/s

T = 6.5 s

Therefore, the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

What is the name of the force that is a combination of all forces that act on an object?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object sums upto be zero, then the net force is known as <u>balanced force.</u>

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object is non-zero, then the net force is said to be <u>unbalanced force. </u>The unbalanced force causes the object change the state of rest or motion.

What is the purpose of experimentation in a research study
Nat2105 [25]
Hello,

The answer is to "prove your hypothesis".

Reason:

Researchers do experiments to prove there hypothesis they will most likely do the experiment a few times in older to have the conclusion valid therefore proving his or her experiment. 

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

The 1.18-kg uniform slender bar rotates freely about a horizontal axis through O. The system is released from rest when it is in
sattari [20]

Answer:

 k = 11,564 N / m,   w = 6.06 rad / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we have a horizontal bar and a vertical spring not stretched, the bar is released, which due to the force of gravity begins to descend, in the position of Tea = 46º it is in equilibrium;

 let's apply the equilibrium condition at this point

                 

Axis y

          W_{y} - Fr = 0

          Fr = k y

let's use trigonometry for the weight, we assume that the angle is measured with respect to the horizontal

             sin 46 = W_{y} / W

             W_{y} = W sin 46

     

 we substitute

           mg sin 46 = k y

           k = mg / y sin 46

If the length of the bar is L

          sin 46 = y / L

           y = L sin46

 

we substitute

           k = mg / L sin 46 sin 46

           k = mg / L

for an explicit calculation the length of the bar must be known, for example L = 1 m

           k = 1.18 9.8 / 1

           k = 11,564 N / m

With this value we look for the angular velocity for the point tea = 30º

let's use the conservation of mechanical energy

starting point, higher

          Em₀ = U = mgy

end point. Point at 30º

         Em_{f} = K -Ke = ½ I w² - ½ k y²

          em₀ = Em_{f}

          mgy = ½ I w² - ½ k y²

          w = √ (mgy + ½ ky²) 2 / I

the height by 30º

           sin 30 = y / L

           y = L sin 30

           y = 0.5 m

the moment of inertia of a bar that rotates at one end is

          I = ⅓ mL 2

          I = ½ 1.18 12

          I = 0.3933 kg m²

let's calculate

          w = Ra (1.18 9.8 0.5 + ½ 11,564 0.5 2) 2 / 0.3933)

          w = 6.06 rad / s
