Answer:

T = 0.96 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of wave, v = 2.6 m/s

The distance between wave crests, \lambda=2.5\ m

We need to find the period of the wave motion. Let T be the period. So,

v=\dfrac{\lambda}{T}\\\\T=\dfrac{\lambda}{v}\\\\T=\dfrac{2.5}{2.6}\\\\T=0.96\ s

So, the period of the wave motion is equal to 0.96 seconds.

Spinning situations???
Papessa [141]
Just like mass, energy, linear momentum, and electric charge, angular momentum is also conserved.

The wheel has angular momentum.  I don't remember whether it's
up or down (right-hand or left-hand rule), but it's consistent with
counterclockwise rotation as viewed from above.

When you grab the wheel and stop it from spinning (relative to you),
that angular momentum has to go somewhere.

As I see it, the angular momentum transfers through you as a temporary
axis of rotation, and eventually to the merry-go-round. Finally, all the mass
of (merry-go-round) + (you) + (wheel) is rotating around the big common
axis, counterclockwise as viewed from above, and with the magnitude
that was originally all concentrated in the wheel.

What is the velocity of a 50kg skater if her momentum is 225kg. m/s?
Gnom [1K]

|Momentum| = (mass) x (speed)

225 kg-m/s =(50kg) x (speed)

Divide each side by (50kg):  Speed=(225 kg-m/s) / (50 kg) = 4.5 m/s .

Regarding the velocity, nothing can be said other than the speed, because
we have no information regarding the direction of the object's motion.
