Answer:

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time

Given speed = 127 m/s .

distance = 1.58 m

time = ?

Putting the values in the formula

127 m/s = 1.58 m / time

time = 1.58 / 127 s

= 12.44 ms .

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of one kilogram (liter) of water 1°c?
Gnoma [55]

Heat required in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:<span>

Heat = mC(T2-T1)
Heat = 1 kg (4.18 kJ / kg C)( 1 C)
<span>Heat = 4.18 kJ energy needed</span></span>

Two sound waves are traveling through the same medium. They have the same amplitude, wavelength, and direction of travel. If the
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Constructive interference

Explanation:

Here, the medium is same, same wavelength, same frequency, same amplitude and same direction of propagation.

Let the intensity of waves be I which is same for both

The formula for the net intensity is

I^{2}=I_{1}^{2}+I_{2}^{2}+2I_{1}I_{2}Cos\phi

where, Ф be the phase difference

So, I_{R}^{2}=I^{2}+I^{2}+2IICos6\pi

Here, IR is maximum so the interference is constructive in nature.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) We know that;

v = λf

Where;

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

v = velocity of the wave

So;

T = 2 * 2.10 s = 4.2 s

Hence f = 1/4.2 s

f = 0.24 Hz

The wavelength =  6.5 m

Hence;

v = 6.5 m * 0.24 Hz

v = 1.56 m/s

b)The amplitude of the wave is;

A =  0.600 m/2 = 0.300 m

c) Since the wave speed does not depend on the amplitude of the wave then the answer in (a) above remains the same

Where d = 0.30 m

A = 0.30 m/2 = 0.15 m
