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

harkovskaia [24]

Solution:

With reference to Fig. 1

Let 'x' be the distance from the wall

Then for \DeltaDAC:

tan\theta = \frac{d}{x}

⇒ \theta = tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}

Now for the \DeltaBAC:

tan\theta = \frac{d + h}{x}

⇒ \theta = tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x}

Now, differentiating w.r.t x:

\frac{d\theta }{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} -  tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}]

For maximum angle, \frac{d\theta }{dx} = 0

Now,

0 = [/tex]\frac{d}{dx}[tan^{-1} \frac{d + h}{x} -  tan^{-1} \frac{d}{x}][/tex]

0 = \frac{-(d + h)}{(d + h)^{2} + x^{2}} -\frac{-d}{x^{2} + d^{2}}

\frac{-(d + h)}{(d + h)^{2} + x^{2}} = \frac{{d}{x^{2} + d^{2}}

After solving the above eqn, we get

x = \sqrt{\frac{d}{d + h}}

The observer should stand at a distance equal to x = \sqrt{\frac{d}{d + h}}

Answer:

12.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the diver = 77kg

Height  = 8.18m

Unknown:

Final velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use one of the motion equations.

            v²  = u² + 2gh

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

             v² = 0² + (2 x 9.8 x 8.18)

             v² = 160.3

             v = 12.7m/s

A certain car traveling in a straight line path has a velocity of +10.0 m/s at some instant. after 3.00 s, its velocity is +6.00
makvit [3.9K]
The formula is:
v = v o + a t
6 = 10 + 3 * a
3 a = 10 - 6
a = 4 : 3
a =  - 1.33 m/s² ( because the car slows down )
Answer: The average acceleration of the car is - 1.33 m/s²
