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

Regarding the history of the universe, which of the following is true? Regarding the history of the universe, which of the follo
ale4655 [162]

Explanation:

1. The universe consisted of hydrogen and helium initially. This statement is true.

2. It is important to understand radioactive decay in order to understand this question, here's a good analogy:

A snake will shed it's skin, just as an atom will shoot off different parts of itself. It would be very difficult to force that snake to reenter it's skin once it sheds, just as it takes a lot of energy to force <em>fusion</em><em> </em>of atoms and the parts mentioned. In normal circumstances, nuclear decay is one-way.

3. The earth is a giant floating rock in space. It took many many years to gather a bunch of asteroids and dust to make this planet.

4. I shouldn't have to explain this one, it doesn't make much sense.

A small sculpture made of brass (rho brass = 8470 kg/m 3 ) is believed to have a secret central cavity. The weight of the sculpt
GaryK [48]

Answer:

Volume of secret cavity = 4 x 10⁻⁶m³

Explanation:

The weight of the sculpture in air is 15.76 N

Mass of the sculpture = 1.61 kg

Mass = Volume x Density

1.61 = V x 8470

Volume of brass =1.90 x 10⁻⁴ m³

When it is submerged in water, the weight is 13.86 N.

That is

  Weight of sculpture - Weight of water displaced = 13.86 N

  15.76 - Weight of water displaced = 13.86

   Weight of water displaced = 1.9 N

   Mass of water displaced = 0.194 kg

 Mass = Volume x Density

  0.194 = V x 1000

  Volume of water displaced =1.94 x 10⁻⁴ m³

Volume of secret cavity =  Volume of water displaced - Volume of brass material

Volume of secret cavity = 1.94 x 10⁻⁴-1.94 x 10⁻⁴ = 0.04x 10⁻⁴ = 4 x 10⁻⁶m³

What does the statement "all motion is relative"<br> mean?
tekilochka [14]
The statement that motion is relative is an important concept in physics. The meaning behind this statement is that the motion of an object is relative to either the frame of reference of the observer, or to another distinct frame of reference.
