An ocean wave traveling in one direction has a wavelength of 1.0 m and a frequency of 1.25 Hz. Take the direction of wave propag

ation lo be the positive x direction.
(a) What is the speed (in m/s) of this ocean wave?
(b) Assuming that this wave is harmonic, and its amplitude is 2.0 m, what equation would describe its motion? Let the displacement at t = 0 s and x = 0 m be a maximum.
(c) What will be the height of the wave 3.0 m from the origin at t = 10 s?

Answer:

a) v=1*1.25=1.25\: m/s

b) y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi( x-1.25 t)  

c) y(3,10)=1.73 m    

Explanation:

a) The speed of a wave is given by the following equation:

v=\lambda f

Where:

λ is the wavelength

f is the frequency

v=1*1.25=1.25\: m/s

b) The harmonic wave has the following equation:

y=Asin(kx-\omega t)

A is the amplitude (2 m)

k is the wavenumber (2π/λ)  

ω is the angular frequency (2πf)

y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi x-2\pi*1.25 t)  

y(x,t)=2sin(2\pi( x-1.25 t)  

c) Here we need to find the heigth at x=3 m and t =10 s, so we need to find y(3,10).

y(3,10)=2sin(2\pi(3-1.25*10)

y(3,10)=2sin(2\pi(3-1.25*10)              

y(3,10)=1.73 m              

I hope it helps you!

Given 4.8 moles of a gas at 37 degrees Celsius and at 792 torr, what is the volume of the gas? (The ideal gas constant is 0.0821
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

1.17 x 10^2 L

Explanation:

We can find the volume of the gas by using the ideal gas law:

pV=nRT

where we have:

p=792 Torr \cdot \frac{1 atm}{760 Torr} = 1.04 atm is the pressure

V is the volume

n = 4.8 mol is the number of moles

R = 0.0821 L · atm/mol · K is the ideal gas constant

T=37^{\circ}+273 =310 K is the temperature

Solving the equation for V, we find the volume

V=\frac{nRT}{p}=\frac{(4.8 mol)(0.0821 L atm/mol K)(310 K)}{1.04 atm}=117.5 L = 1.17\cdot 10^2 L

Can anyone help me with any parts in question number 1: parallel circuit?
Leno4ka [110]
Question #1:

a).  The sketch is attached to this answer.

b).  The equivalent resistance of 30Ω and 50Ω in parallel is

1 / (1/30 + 1/50)  =  18.75 Ω

c).   I = V/R = (100/30) = (3 and 1/3) Amperes

d).  Follow the wires, and you see that the 50Ω resistor is
connected directly to the battery, and so is the voltmeter.
So the voltage across the 50Ω resistor, and the reading 
on the voltmeter, is 100 volts.

e).  I = V/R
Through the 30Ω resistor:  I = 3-1/3 A
Through the 50Ω resistor:  I = 2 A

f).  In the parallel circuit, both resistors are connected
directly to the battery.  So neither resistor even knows
that the other one is there.  Each resistor sees 100 volts,
and the current through each resistor is 100/R, just as if
it were the only resistor in the circuit.

Suppose you designed a spacecraft to work by photon pressure. The sail was a completely absorbing fabric of area 1.0 km2 and you
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

(a) F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

(b) P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

(c) t = 27.2 min

Explanation:

Area of sail A = 1.0 km² = 1.0 * 10⁶m²

Wavelength of light  λ = 650 nm = 650 * 10⁻⁹ m

Rate of impact of photons R = 1 mol/s = 6.022 * 10²³ photons/s

(a)

Momentum of each photon is Ρ = h/λ = 6.625 * 10⁻³⁴ / 650 * 10⁻⁹

      = 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ kg.m/s

Since the photons are absorbed completely, in every collision the above momentum is transferred to the sail.  

Momentum transferred to the sail per second is product of rate of impact of photons and momentum transferred by each photon.

dp/dt = R * h/ λ

This is the force acting on the sail.

F = R * h/λ = 6.022 * 10²³ * 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

b)

Pressure exerted by the radiation on the sail = Force acting on the sail / Area of the sail

P = F/A =  6.14 * 10⁻⁴ / 1.0 * 10⁶ =  6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

c)  

Acceleration of spacecraft a = F/m = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ /1.0 = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴m/s²

As the spacecraft starts from rest, initial speed u=0,m/s ,

final speed is u = 1.0 m/s after time t  

v = u+at  

t = 1.0 - 0/ 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ =  1629s = 27.2 min

t = 27.2 min

A speedboat initially at rest accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s (squared) for 7.0 s. How fast is the boat moving after 7.0 s?
zaharov [31]
Well if the boat initially at rest accelerates at uniformly at 4.0 m/s (squared) then it would be best to muitlply it so 4.0 squared equals 2 by multiplying that by 7.0 your answer would be 14 s

A rope of total mass m hnd length L is suspended vertically with an object of mass M suspended from the lower end. Find an expre
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

v = \sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}

Part b)

t = 12 s

Explanation:

Part a)

Tension in the rope at a distance x from the lower end is given as

T = \frac{m}{L}xg + Mg

so the speed of the wave at that position is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

here we know that

\mu = \frac{m}{L}

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{ \frac{m}{L}xg + Mg}{m/L}

v = \sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}

Part b)

time taken by the wave to reach the top is given as

t = \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}}}

t = \frac{1}{g}(2\sqrt{xg + \frac{MLg}{m}})

t = \frac{2}{9.8}(\sqrt{(39.2\times 9.8) + \frac{8(39.2)(9.8)}{1}})

t = 12 s
