Answer:

λ = 300 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Speed; v = 1500 m/s

Frequency; f = 5 Hz.

Formula for wavelength is given by;

λ = v/f

Plugging in the relevant values;

λ = 1500/5

λ = 300 m

Mason notices that his boat sinks lower into the water in a freshwater lake than in the ocean. What could explain this?

suter [353]

<u>Answer </u>

D. Salt water is denser than freshwater.

<u>Explanation</u>

A boat is able to float on water because it experiences an upthrust upwards.

The magnitude of the upthrust depends on the density of the liquid.

When the liquid is denser the boat will experience a great upthrust as compared to when in a less dense liquid.

If the boat sinks lower in the freshwater than in salty water, then Salt water is more dense than freshwater.

A 3.30 x 10-2-kg block is resting on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a horizontal spring whose spring const

avanturin [10]

Answer:

0.17547 m

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = $3.3\times 10^{-2}\ kg$

v = Velocity of block = 10.8 m/s

k = Spring constant = 125 N/m

A = Amplitude

The kinetic energy of the system is conserved

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2\\\Rightarrow \\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{mv^2}{k}}\\\Rightarrow A=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.3\times 10^{-2}\times 10.8^2}{125}}\\\Rightarrow A=0.17547\ m$

The amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion is 0.17547 m

Nady [450]

Answer:

(a) 1.939 m/h

(b) 0.926 m/h

(d) -1.21 m/h

Explanation:

Here, we have the water depth given by the function of time;

D(t) = 7 + 5·cos[0.503(t-6.75)]

Therefore, to find the velocity of the depth displacement with time, we differentiate the given expression with respect to time as follows;

D'(t) = $\frac{d(7 + 5\cdot cos[0.503(t-6.75)])}{dt}$

= 5×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))×0.503

= -2.515×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))

= -2.515×(-sin(0.503×t-3.395))

Therefore we have;

(a) at 5:00 AM = 5 - 0:00 = 5

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×5-3.395)) = 1.939 m/h

(b) at 6:00 AM = 6 - 0:00 = 6

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×6-3.395)) = 0.926 m/h

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×7-3.395)) = -0.315 m/h

(d) at Noon 12:00 PM = 12 - 0:00 = 12

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×12-3.395)) = -1.21 m/h.

What would happen to mass and accelaration if the force on an object increases?? please help.

kozerog [31]

Wouldn't mass stay the same and acceleration increase or am I mistaken?
