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

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

11, 760 Pa.

Explanation:

By applying formula P= pgh, where P is pressure, p is density, g is gravitational acceleration (9.8 m\s2) and h is height of water level. Putting values in the formula, you can have the correct answer.

g Estimate the number of photons emitted by the Sun in a second. The power output from the Sun is 4 × 1026 W and assume that th
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The value is N  =  1.107 *10^{45 }  \ photons    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  power output from the sun is  P_o =  4 * 10^{26} \  W

   The average wavelength of each photon is  \lambda  = 550 \  nm  =  550 *10^{-9} \  m

Generally the energy of each photon emitted is mathematically represented as

        E_c =  \frac{h * c  }{ \lambda }

Here  h is the Plank's constant with value  h  =  6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s

          c is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0 *10^{8} \  m/s

So

       E_c =  \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}  * 3.0 *10^{8}  }{ 550 *10^{-9} }          

=>   E_c =  3.614 *10^{-19} \  J          

Generally the  number of photons emitted by the Sun in a second is mathematically represented as

         N  =  \frac{P }{E_c}

=>      N  =  \frac{4 * 10^{26} }{3.614 *10^{-19}}

=>      N  =  1.107 *10^{45 }  \ photons
