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

12345 [234]
It has a 10 electrons. Since it's atomic number is 11 it must have 11 protons. Also, given that it has a +1 charge, it has one less electron than protons since they have equal but opposite charges. The number of protons is the mass number minus the atomic number = 23-11= 12 neutrons.

vekshin1

Answer:

Explanation:

Part A) Using

light intensity I= P/A

A= Area= π (Radius)^2= π((0.67*10^-6m)/(2))^2= 1.12*10^-13 m^2

Radius= Diameter/2

P= power= 10*10^-3=0.01 W

light intensity I= 0.01/(1.12*10^-13)= 9*10^10 W/m^2

Part B)  Using

I=c*ε*E^2/2

rearrange to solve for E= \sqrt{((I*2)/(c*ε))

c is the speed of light which is 3*10^8 m/s^2

ε=permittivity of free space or dielectric constant= 8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1

I= the already solved light intensity= 8.85*10^10 W/m^2

amplitude of the electric field E= \sqrt{(9*10^10 W/m^2)*(2) / (3*10^8 m/s^2)*(8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1)

---> E= \sqrt{(1.8*10^11) / (2.66*10^-3) = \sqrt{(6.8*10^13) = 8.25*10^6 V/m
