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

When should a line graph be used?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

A. When the independent variable is continuous and shows a causal link to the dependent variable.

Explanation:

A graph can be defined as the graphical representation of data (informations) on horizontal and vertical lines i.e x-axis and y-axis respectively.

In an experiment , the variable being manipulated by an experimenter is known as an independent variable while the dependent variable is the event expected to change when the independent variable is manipulated

Generally, a line graph should be used when the independent variable is continuous and shows a causal link to the dependent variable.

This ultimately implies that, a line graph should be used when the data changes continuously over time and as such there exist a linear relationship between the data (variables).

find the moment of inertia of a point mass 0.005g at aperpendicular distance of 3m from its axis of rotation.​
zysi [14]

Answer:

the moment of inertia is 4.5 × 10⁻⁵ kg.m²  

Explanation:

Given that;

point mass m = 0.005 g = ( 0.005 / 1000 ) = 5 × 10⁻⁶ kg

perpendicular distance r = 3m

We know that a point mass doesn't have a moment of inertia around its own axis but, but using the parallel axis theorem, a moment of inertia around a distant axis of rotation can be determined using;

I_{} = mr²

so we substitute

I_{} = (5 × 10⁻⁶ kg) × (3 m)²

I_{} = (5 × 10⁻⁶ kg) × 9 m²

I_{}  = 4.5 × 10⁻⁵ kg.m²  

Therefore; the moment of inertia is 4.5 × 10⁻⁵ kg.m²

What events took place first of a uranium chain reaction?
leonid [27]

Nuclear fission emits a lot of energy on the scale of tiny nuclear nuclei. If fission was limited to a few nuclei of uranium-235 or plutonium_239 the energy released would still remain very small at our scale. On the other hand, if the reaction involves a very large number of nuclei, it is on our scale that this large release of energy will manifest itself.


It is the chain reaction process that is used in reactors and nuclear weapons to generate a large number of fissions. In a reactor, the propagation of fissions takes place in a controlled manner, in a nuclear weapon in an uncontrolled, explosive manner.


The products of nuclear fission are usually accompanied by two to three secondary, free neutrons which can be absorbed later by other fissile nuclei. These absorptions in turn lead to further fissions, then to the production of other neutrons etc ..., a process commonly called chain reaction.

How much heat is required to vaporize 1.5 KG of liquid water at its boiling point
Setler79 [48]
<span>When water boils it changes from liquid to a gas. In order to do this it is necessary to add energy (the energy 'frees' the water molecules from the liguid and gives them enough energy to exists separate from othe molecules in a gaseous state.) Note - Although you are adding heat (energy) the temperature does not change during the vapourisation. Both th eboiling water and the gaseous steam are at 100degC (under normal conditions) The energy is absorbed by the vapourisation process The amount of energy required to do this (for each Kg) is given by Hv The units of Hv are J/kg Joules PER kilogram PER means 'for each' so 1 kg of water takes 2.26x10^6 J to vapourise. You should see an easy sum to work out how much heat 1.5kg takes.....</span>
