A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s

blondinia [14]

Answer:

1.2 m/s

0.31 m

0.15 m

Explanation:

Time period is

$T=2.5\times 2\\\Rightarrow T=5\ s$

Frequency is

$f=\dfrac{1}{T}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{5}\\\Rightarrow f=0.2\ Hz$

Velocity is given by

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow v=0.2\times 6\\\Rightarrow v=1.2\ m/s$

The waves are traveling at 1.2 m/s

Amplitude is given by

$A=\dfrac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{0.62}{2}\\\Rightarrow A=0.31\ m$

Amplitude is 0.31 m

If d = 0.3 m

$A=\dfrac{0.3}{2}=0.15\ m$

The amplitude would be 0.15 m. The speed would remain the same.

A boat has a mass of 7660 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4080 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 680 N due

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

0.29 m/s due west.

Explanation:

According to newton's second law,

Net force acting on an object = mass×acceleration

From the question,

F+F₁+F₂ = ma................ Equation 1

Where F = The force generated from the engine, F₁ = Force exerted by the wind, F₂ = Force exerted due to the water, m = mass of the boat, a = acceleration of the boat.

Given: F = 4080 N , F₁ = -680 N(east), F₂ = -1160 N(east). m = 7660 kg

substitute into equation 1

4080-680-1160 = 7660(a)

2240 = 7660a

Therefore,

a = 2440/7660

a = 0.29 m/s due west.

A muon has a rest mass energy of 105.7 MeV, and it decays into an electron and a massless particle. If all the lost mass is conv

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rest mass energy of muon = 105.7 MeV

We know the rest mass of electron = 0.511 Mev

We need to calculate the value of γ

Using formula of energy

$K_{rel}=(\gamma-1)mc^2$

$\dfrac{K_{rel}}{mc^2}=\gamma-1$

Put the value into the formula

$\gamma=\dfrac{105.7}{0.511}+1$

$\gamma=208$

We need to calculate the electron’s velocity

Using formula of velocity

$\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}$

$\gamma^2=\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\gamma^2-\gamma^2\times\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}=1$

$v^2=\dfrac{1-\gamma^2}{-\gamma^2}\times c^2$

Put the value into the formula

$v^2=\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}\times c^2$

$v=c\sqrt{\dfrac{1-(208)^2}{-208^2}}$

$v=0.9999 c\ m/s$

Hence, The electron’s velocity is 0.9999 c m/s.
