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

A car traveling at 20 m/s when the driver sees a child standing in the road. He takes 0.80 s to react, then steps on the brakes
mr Goodwill [35]

When driver see the child standing on road his speed is 20 m/s

So here at that instant his reaction time is 0.80 s

He will cover a total distance given by product of speed and time

d_1 = v* t

d_1 = 20 * 0.8

d_1 = 16 m

now after this he will apply brakes with acceleration a = 7 m/s^2

so the distance covered before it stop is given by

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 20^2 = 2*(-7)*d_2

d_2 = 28.6 m

so the total distance covered by it

d = d_1 + d_2

d = 16 + 28.6 = 44.6 m

<em>so it will cover a total distance of 44.6 m</em>

How many atoms are in a sample of 1.83 moles of potassium (K) atoms?
telo118 [61]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles.

 </span>1.83 moles K (6.022 x 10^23 atoms / mole ) = 1.10 x 10^24 atoms K
