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 2.70 ss for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.660 mm . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.90 mm 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) 1.092 m/s

b) 0.33 m

c) 0.25 m

Explanation:

To start with, from the formula of wave, we know that

v = f λ, where

v = velocity of wave

f = frequency of the wave

λ = wavelength of the wave

Again, on another hand, we know that

T = 1/f, where T = period of the wave

From the question, we are given that

t = 2.7 s

d = 0.66 m

λ = 5.9 m

Period, T = 2 * t

Period, T = 2 * 2.7

Period, T = 5.4 s

If T = 1/f, then f = 1/T, thus

Frequency, f = 1/5.4

Frequency, f = 0.185 hz

Remember, v = f λ

v = 0.185 * 5.9

v = 1.092 m/s

Amplitude, A = d/2

Amplitude, A = 0.66/2

Amplitude, A = 0.33 m

If the other distance travelled by the boat is 0.5, then Amplitude is

A = 0.5/2

A = 0.25 m

Consider the following situations:
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Though no question is specified here but let analyzed experiences of each

Explanation:

1. Required a force to stop it (Law of inertial). Constant acceleration

2. will have reduced acceleration (deceleration)

3. Uniform acceleration may set in. it accelerate

4. maximized it speed since no friction affect it motion

5. accelerating. Vo=0 and V gradually increased

6. less or no friction opposes the motion

7. It  experience reduce motion based on air friction

8. constant acceleration due to gravity

9. g can be a bit affected but still about equal

Find the acceleration of a car that can go from rest to 50 km/h in 13 s
ziro4ka [17]

The acceleration of the car is 1.067 m/s^{2}.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Acceleration is the measure of change in velocity experienced by any object for a given time period. So it is determined as the ratio of difference in the velocity to the time period.

As here the initial velocity is stated as zero, so u = 0. And the final velocity is termed as 50 km/h. Then we have to determine the acceleration in 13 s. So here we have to convert the units as common units. Thus, 50 km/h should be converted to m/s as \frac{50*1000}{3600}=13.88 m/s

So now, the initial velocity u = 0 and final velocity v = 13.88 m/s and the time period is given as t = 13 s.

Acceleration = \frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{13.88-0}{13}=1.067 m/s^{2}

So the acceleration of the car is 1.067 m/s^{2}.

Can someone give me an example or explanation of calculating energy from voltage? Many thanks!
antoniya [11.8K]
Expression to calculate energy from voltage: E= V*Q where E= energy, V= voltage, and Q= charge

Additional help:
-To find the Voltage ( V )
[ V = I x R ] V (volts) = I (amps) x R (Ω)

-To find the Current ( I )
[ I = V ÷ R ] I (amps) = V (volts) ÷ R (Ω)

-To find the Resistance ( R )
[ R = V ÷ I ] R (Ω) = V (volts) ÷ I (amps)

I hope that helps to some extent-
