A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. The waves move at 59 km/h and have a wavelength of 145 m . Th
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave is 4.46 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed of the wave, v = 59 km/h = 16.38 m/s

Wavelength of the wave, \lambda=145\ m

If f is the frequency of the wave. The frequency of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{16.38\ m/s}{145\ m}\\\\f=0.112\ Hz

The time period of the wave is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\T=\dfrac{1}{0.112\ Hz}\\\\T=8.92\ s

We need to find the time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave. So, the time will be half of the time period of the wave.

T=\dfrac{8.92}{2}\\\\T=4.46\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Explanation:

heat lost by water will be used to increase the temperature of  ice

heat gained by ice

= mass x specific heat  x rise in temperature

1 x 2090 x t

heat lost by water in cooling to 0° C

= mcΔt  where m is mass of water , s is specific heat of water and Δt is fall in temperature .

= 1 x 2 x 4186  

8372

heat lost = heat gained

1 x 2090 x t  = 8372

t = 4°C

There will be a rise of  4 degree in the temperature of ice.
