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

Centripetal force is a centering force related to acceleration. The centripetal force when driving prevents which of the followi
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.

The magnitude of the weight of a 3.0 kg object on the surface of the earth is 29 N. True False
madreJ [45]
True

In fact, the weight of an object on the surface of the Earth is given by:
F=mg
where m is the mass of the object and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration on Earth's surface. If we use the mass of the object, m=3.0 kg, we find
F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=29 N

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Tangential

Explanation: This is a kind of force which act on a moving body in such a way that it is curved in the direction of the path of the body. This implies that when the velocity of the object is positive, the acceleration will be negative.
