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

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>
In mechanics, acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time varies. Acceleration is a vector quantity (in that they have magnitude and direction). The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Newton's Second Law states that the combined effect of two factors determines how much an item accelerates:
(i) It follows that the magnitude of the net balance of all external forces acting on the object is directly proportional to the magnitude of this net resulting force, and
(ii) the mass of the thing, depending on the materials out of which it is constructed, is inversely proportional to the mass of the thing.
Calculations:
40 km/hr ----- 11.11m/s
80 km/hr ----- 22.22m/s
Time taken
v-u=at
22.22-11.11= 0.8049 x t
t=13.802s
