A boat of mass 225 kg drifts along a river at a speed of 21 m/s to the west.

You are creating waves in a rope by shaking your hand back and forth. Without changing the distance your hand moves, you begin t

Answer:

Amplitude - remains the same

Frequency - increases

Period - decreases

Velocity - remains the same.

Explanation:

The amplitude of the wave remains the same since you are not changing the distance your hand moves and the amplitude of the wave depends on how much distance your hand covers while moving.

The frequency of your wave increases since now you are moving your hand more number of times in the same period i.e. your hand is moving faster in one second. So, the frequency of your wave increases.

The period is the time taken by the wave to travel a certain distance. Since your hand is now moving faster, the wave will travel faster and will take less time to cover the same distance hence, we can say that its period will decrease.

The velocity of a wave depends on the medium in which it is travelling. Your wave was previously travelling in air and the new wave is also travelling in the same medium so the velocity of the wave remains unchanged.

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is . On Earth, the main source of this energy is .

serg [7]

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is light energy. On earth, the main source of this energy is Sun. Most of the light energy comes from the sun because it is the primary source of all the energies. The food, fossil fuels, movement of winds, etc all exists due to Sun. Without sun, there won't be any light energy on the earth. In all the processes which occur on earth has a direct or indirect involvement of light energy which comes from sun.

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea

Savatey [412]

Answer:

$41.81^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector $\overrightarrow{OA}$ is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, $\vec {R}$ must be in the north direction.

Let $\overrightarrow{AB}$ is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector $\overrightarrow {OA}$ and head of the vector $\overrightarrow{AB}$ must lie on the north-south line.
