2. Below what depth would a submarine have to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves with a wavelength of 24 m
1 answer:
<u>Answer:</u> Below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves
<u>Explanation:</u>
To avoid the surface waves, a submarine has to submerge below the wave base. It is the position below which the motion of the waves is negligible.
This wave base is equal to half of the wavelength. The equation becomes:
Wave base =
We are given:
Wavelength = 24 m
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Wave base =
Hence, below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves

Hi there!
We can use the work-energy theorem to solve.
Recall that:
The initial kinetic energy is 0 J because the crate begins from rest, so we can plug in the given values for mass and final velocity:
Now, we can define work:
Now, plug in the values:
Solve for theta:
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Third Law of Kepler.
Kepler's third law tells us that the period is defined as
The given data are given with respect to known constants, for example the mass of the sun is
The radius between the earth and the sun is given by
From the mentioned star it is known that this is 8.2 time mass of sun and it is 6.2 times the distance between earth and the sun
Therefore:
Substituting in Kepler's third law:
Therefore the period of this star is 3.8years
