A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

e of the water. It takes a time of 2.10 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.600 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.50 m apart.
Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) We know that;

v = λf

Where;

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

v = velocity of the wave

So;

T = 2 * 2.10 s = 4.2 s

Hence f = 1/4.2 s

f = 0.24 Hz

The wavelength =  6.5 m

Hence;

v = 6.5 m * 0.24 Hz

v = 1.56 m/s

b)The amplitude of the wave is;

A =  0.600 m/2 = 0.300 m

c) Since the wave speed does not depend on the amplitude of the wave then the answer in (a) above remains the same

Where d = 0.30 m

A = 0.30 m/2 = 0.15 m

Ivenika [448]

Potential energy is given as

U = 4y^3

now as we know that force is related by potential energy by the formula

F = - \frac{dU}{dy}

So it is gradient of energy with position in Y

F = - \fracd(4y^3}{dy}

F = -12y^2 \hat j

Now at y = 0

F = 0 N

at y = 1

F = - 12*1^2

F = - 12 N

at y = 2

F = - 12*2^2

F = - 48 N

so above is the forces at given positions

Rita conducts an experiment on how the amount of precipitation each fall affects
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

As spring season is a yearly phenomenon so, Rita should organize her data on yearly basis. Firstly, she should plan the procedure of her experiment and collect the data according to it. Secondly, identify the attribute of each object of her experiment. Thirdly, she can organize and segregate her data in tabular form, graphical form or diagrammatically.

Work is done on a locked door that remains closed while you try to pull it open. True False.
dsp73

Answer:False

Explanation:

Work is being done on a body when it causes displacement of body on the application of force

Work\ done=Force\times displacement

When we pull the door by a force it causes zero displacements of the door. So we can say that work done on it is zero.

Thus the above-given statement is false
