A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

e of the water. It takes a time of 3.00 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.700 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.50 m apart.
Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, how fast are the waves traveling ?
d. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, what is the amplitude of each wave?

Answer:

a)   v = 0.9167 m / s,  b)  A = 0.350 m,  c)  v = 0.9167 m / s, d)  A = 0.250 m

Explanation:

a) to find the velocity of the wave let us use the relation

          v = λ f

the wavelength is the length that is needed for a complete wave, in this case x = 5.50 m corresponds to a wavelength

           λ = x

           λ = x

the period is the time for the wave to repeat itself, in this case t = 3.00 s corresponds to half a period

          T / 2 = t

           T = 2t

period and frequency are related

           f = 1 / T

           f = 1 / 2t

we substitute

           v = x / 2t

           v = 5.50 / 2 3

           v = 0.9167 m / s

b) the amplitude is the distance from a maximum to zero

          2A = y

           A = y / 2

           A = 0.700 / 2

           A = 0.350 m

c) The horizontal speed of the traveling wave (waves) is independent of the vertical oscillation of the particles, therefore the speed is the same

      v = 0.9167 m / s

d) the amplitude is

           A = 0.500 / 2

           A = 0.250 m

Answer:

<u>B</u>

Explanation:

Planets have different year lengths because it depends how far they revolve from a celestial body. Each planet has its own orbital period. Planets closer to the star will have a lower orbital period compared to the ones that lie far away from it.

Two advantages of solar energy over energy from Fossil fuels​
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

1)Fuel Sourcing

2)Power Generation

Explanation:

1)Fuel Sourcing : Fossil fuels must be located, excavated and transported before they can be used. These processes are invasive and detrimental to the land through side effects such as erosion as well as ecological and geologic instability. Then the deposit or well is depleted. Energy from the sun is infinite and free. It can be harnessed and turned into power anywhere a solar panel can be mounted.

2)Power Generation: Fossil fuels must be burned to produce electricity. Burning them creates unwanted byproducts that can create air and water pollution and release huge amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

For a particular casting setup, the top of the sprue has a diameter of 0.030 m, and its length is 0.200 m. The volume flow rate
faust18 [17]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter=0.030 m

Length of sprue=h_1=0.200 m

Metal volume flow  rate,Q=0.03m^3/min

Q=\frac{0.03}{60}=5\times 10^{-4}m^3/s because 1 minute=60 seconds

Let 1 for the top and 2 for the bottom

d_=0.030 m

h_2=0

A_1=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}=\frac{3.14\times (0.030)^2}{4}

A_1=7.065\times 10^{-4} m^2

v_1=\frac{Q}{A_1}=\frac{5\times 10^{-4}}{7.065\times 10^{-4}}

v_1=0.708 m/s

Pressure at the top and bottom of the sprue is atmospheric

h_1+\frac{v^2_1}{2g}=h_2+\frac{v^2_2}{2g}

Substitute the values

0.2+\frac{(0.708)^2}{2\cdot 9.8}=0+\frac[v^2_2}{2\cdot 9.8}

v^2_2=2\cdot 9.8\cdot \frac{0.2\cdot 9.8\cdot 2+0.501264}{2\cdot 9.8}=4.421264

v_2=\sqrt{4.421264}=2.1 m/s

Q=A_2v_2

5\times 10^{-4}=A_2\times 2.1

A_2=\frac{5\times 10^{-4}}{2.1}=2.381\times 10^{-4} m^2

Reynolds number=\frac{v_2D\rho}{\eta}

\eta=0.004 N.s/m^2

\rho=2700 kg/m^3

Substitute the values then we get

Reynolds number=\frac{2.1\times 0.03\times 2700}{0.004}

Reynolds number=42525

The Reynolds number is greater than 4000 .Therefore, the flow is turbulent.

Energy (C) is fully described by its magnitude.
There's nothing else about it to measure. 

The other four things on the list are all vectors.
They need directions to go along with their magnitudes.
