On a particular day the ocean swell has a period of 10 s, a wave velocity of 5.0 m/s, and a wave amplitude of 0.520 m. An anchor

ed boat is bobbing up and down as the wave passes by. What is the peak vertical velocity of the boat

4 0

Answer:

the peak vertical velocity of the boat is 0.3267 m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

Time period T = 10 sec

wave velocity = 5.0 m/s

wave amplitude A = 0.520 m

peak vertical velocity of in the wave can be expressed as;

Vp = Aw

where w is angular frequency,  ( w = 2π/T)

so

Vp = A × 2π/T

so we substitute

Vp = 0.520 × 2π/10

Vp = 3.2673 / 10

Vp = 0.3267 m/s

Therefore, the peak vertical velocity of the boat is 0.3267 m/s

Describe the process of electricity generation and the efficiency and economics of it
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The process of producing electric energy or the amount of electric energy produced by transforming other forms of energy into electrical energy; commonly expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or megawatt-hours (MWh). Electric power plant efficiency η is defined as the ratio between the useful electricity output from the generating unit, in a specific time, and the energy value of the energy source supplied to the unit in the same time period.  For electricity generation based on steam turbines 65% of all prime energy is wasted as heat.  The maximum theoretical energy efficiency is defined in more detail by the Rankine cycle. For modern practical systems this is about 40% but less for older generating plant.  The efficiency falls still further if fuels with lower energy content such as biomass are used to supply the plant. The economics of power generation based on reciprocating engines depends to a large extent on the use to which the engine is to be put. The cheapest engines available are small petrol-driven engines based on car engines, which are manufactured in large numbers each year.

a diver on a board 7.5m above the water walks off the end with a horizontal velocity of 2.3 m/s when they hit the surface of the
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

2.846m

Explanation:

The diver is performing projectile motion.

To find x(final), we are going to use the equation x(final) = v(initial)*t + x(initial)

x(initial) = 0

x(final) = ?

v(initial) = 2.3 m/s

we don't know t

To find t we will use y(final) = 1/2*(-9.8)*t^2 + v(initial in the y dir.)*t + y(initial)

- 9.8 in the acceleration in the y dir.

y(final) = 0

y(initial) = 7.5

v(initial in the y dir.) = 0

If we solve for t we get: t = 1.237s

Now we have all the components to solve for x(final) in x(final) = v(initial)*t + x(initial)

x(final) = 2.3*1.237 + 0

x(final) = 2.846m

Below is an oscilloscope trace from an AC supply. Calculate the frequency of the supply if each horizontal division represents 0
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

20 hertz of frequency produced.

Explanation:

\boxed{frequency = \frac{1}{period} }

Here we will find frequency and period should be in second, here given: 0.05 seconds

using the formula:

\boxed{frequency = \frac{1}{0.05} }

\boxed{frequency =20}
