Answer:

0.1835m/s

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the speed of wave is expressed as;

v = fλ

f is the frequency - The number of oscillations completed in one seconds

If 22 waves pass the boat every 60 seconds,

number of wave that passes in 1 seconds = 22/60 = 0.367 waves

Therefore the frequency f of the wave is 0.367Hertz

λ (wavelength) is the distance between successive crest and trough of a wave

λ = 0.5m

Substitute the given values into the formula

v = fλ

v = 0.367 * 0.5

v = 0.1835

Hence the speed of the waves is 0.1835m/s

A watermelon is dropped from the top of a 80m tall building. We want to find the velocity of the watermelon after it falls for 1
White raven [17]

Answer:

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 13.23 m/s

Explanation:

Height Of the watermelon when it is dropped is given as

h = 80 m

time of fall under gravity

t = 1.35 s

now if water melon start from rest then we have

v_i = 0

acceleration due to gravity for watermelon

a = 9.81 m/s^2

now we need to find the final speed of watermelon

v_f = v_i + at

so we will have

v_f = 0 + (9.81)(1.35)

v_f = 13.23 m/s

This graph describes the motion of a sky diver that jumped from an airplane. The skydiver is MOST LIKELY ?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

A) being influenced by equal amounts of gravity and air resistance.

Explanation:

B) slowing down because of an unbalanced force of air resistance.

False - if it was slowing down, then the velocity would go down.

D) on the ground and is not falling anymore.

False - This would be mistaken as the answer but it is not because if the person is not falling anymore the horizontal line should be at the x-axis, meaning that there is no more velocity.

C) accelerating because of an unbalanced force of gravity.

False - The line would otherwise be going up or down.

Farmer Tamar airlifted her sheep from 1000 meters to 1,200 meters
attashe74 [19]

Question

What was the change in potential energy of the sheep?

Answer:

1962(m) J

Explanation:

Potential energy is given by

PE=mgh

Change in potential energy is given by

∆PE=mg(h2-h1)

Where ∆PE is the change in potential eneegy, g is acceleration due to gravity, h2 is final height and h1 is the initial height.

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1200 m for h2 and 1000 m for h1 then

∆PE=m*9.81(1200-1000)=1962m Joules

Since we are not given the mass of rhe sheep, the answer will be 1962(m) Joules
