Answer:

v = 2.85 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A skipper on a boat notices wave crests passing his anchor chain every 5.6 s.

The distance between wave crests to be 16 m.

We need to find the speed of the waves. The speed of a wave can be calculated by the formula as follows :

v=f\lambda\\\\v=\dfrac{\lambda}{T}\\\\v=\dfrac{16}{5.6}\\\\v=2.85\ m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 2.85 m/s.

The acceleration and distance is related to the following expression:
y=v0*t + a*t^2/2 ; v0=0 
y=44.1*100/2 = 2205m 
hence, the speed will be 
v=0 + a*t = 441m/s 
from that height it will just be subjected to the gravitational acceleration

spayn [35]

You and your friends are revolving at the same speed. As a result, your friend and you both have the same angular velocity.

Now that we have the formula for linear velocity—V = omega—we can move on to the following section and draw the conclusion that if the relationship between and grows, so will we.

From here, we may also infer that the radius is larger in this instance because you are close to the right edge. Since you and your friend have different linear velocities and you have the higher linear velocity. If you've ever actually been on a merry-go-round, you already know that being on the edge is considerably more enjoyable rotation than being in the centre.

However, there is a similarity between the two people who are moving about. In the same amount of time, they will each cover the same rotation. The term "angular velocity" refers to a speed that measures the angle of rotation over a specified period of time.

If the mass of an object is 2500, what is the minimum force required to lift it, if the net force applied to the object is -6?
Phantasy [73]

Answer : F = 24494 N

Explanation :

It is given that,

mass of object, m=2500 Kg

net force on object, \sum F=-6\ N

Net force is equal to the sum of forces acting on the object,

On lifting the object, two forces will act i.e. its weight and the muscular force

Let F is the minimum force required to lift the object.

F_{net}=mg+F

-6=F-mg    (since both forces are acting in opposite directions)

-6=F-2500\ Kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2

F=24494\ N

<em>Hence, to lift the object minimum force of 24494 N is required.</em>
