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

Rashid [163]

Answer:

0.43 s

Explanation:

We have the following parameters:

Initial velocity, u = 7.4 m/s

Acceleration of gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Distance, s = 43 in + 10 ft = 1.092 m + 3.048 m = 4.14 m

Time, t = ?

Using the equation of motion s=ut +\frac{1}{2}gt^2, we have

4.14 = 7.4t + 0.5\times9.8t^2

4.9t^2 + 7.4t - 4.14 =0

Using the quadratic formula \dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} where a = 4.9, b = 7.4 and c = - 4.14, and solving for the positive value of t only, we have

t = 0.43 s

The magnet has an unchanging magnetic field: very strong near the magnet, and weak far from the magnet. How did the magnetic fie
STatiana [176]

Answer:

<em>The magnetic field through the coil at first increases steadily up to its maximum value, and then decreases gradually to its minimum value.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

At first, the magnet fall towards the coils;  inducing a gradually increasing magnetic field through the coil as it falls into the coil. At the instance when half the magnet coincides with the coil, the magnetic field magnitude on the coil is at its maximum value. When the magnet falls pass the coil towards the floor, the magnetic field then starts to decrease gradually from a strong magnitude to a weak magnitude.

This action creates a changing magnetic flux around the coil. The result is that an induced current is induced in the coil, and the induced current in the coil will flow in such a way as to oppose the action of the falling magnet. This is based on lenz law that states that the induced current acts in such a way as to oppose the motion or the action that produces it.

How is velocity and instantaneous speed alike
allsm [11]
<span>velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement irrespective of the length of the path travelled while speed is the average rate of covering distance. but in the liming case where the instantaneous velocity is given as v=dx/dt where dx is the small displacement in a small interval dt, both the speed and velocity have the same magnitude and the direction of velocity is the direction of the tangent to the corresponding displacement-time curve.</span>

xenn [34]

Answer: The electric field is: a) r<a , E0=; b) a<r<b E=ρ (r-a)/εo;

c) r>b E=ρ b (b-a)/r*εo

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the Gaussian law in diffrengios regions.

As we know,

∫E.dr= Qinside/εo

For r<a --->Qinside=0 then E=0

for a<r<b er have

E*2π*r*L= Q inside/εo       in this case Qinside= ρ.Vol=ρ*2*π*r*(r-a)*L

E*2π*r*L =ρ*2*π*r* (r-a)*L/εo

E=ρ*(r-a)/εo

Finally for r>b

E*2π*r*L =ρ*2*π*b* (b-a)*L/εo

E=ρ*b* (b-a)*/r*εo

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2. west

Explanation:

Given an electron is moving vertically upward from ground.

Now Fleming right hand rule state that: make L shape with thumb and index finger then point middle finger perpendicular to index and thumb.Then index finger points in the direction of moving charge , middle finger points in the direction of the magnetic field and thumb points in the direction of the magnetic force.

According to Fleming right hand rule the direction of the magnetic that acts on the electron is west.
