The velocity of an ocean wave is 5m/s. The distance between crests is 3m. What is the frequency of the wave

Physics

Answer:

1.67m

5m/s

Explanation:

Wavelength of the wave = 3m

Speed of the wave  = 5m/s

The distance between crest and the adjacent trough of water waves is known as the wavelength of a wave.

 To find the frequency ;

        V = f∧

V is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

  Insert the parameters and find the frequency;

        f  = V/ ∧   = 5 / 3  = 1.67Hz

The rate at which the wave passed a given point is the speed of the wave and it is 5m/s

Due to historical difficulty in delivering supplies by plane, one of your colleagues has suggested you develop a catapult for sl
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • We can take the initial velocity vector, which magnitude is a given (67 m/s) and project it along two directions perpendicular each other, which we choose horizontal (coincident with x-axis, positive to the right), and vertical (coincident with y-axis, positive upward).
  • Both movements are independent each other, due to they are perpendicular.
  • In the horizontal direction, assuming no other forces acting, once launched, the supply must keep the speed constant.
  • Applying the definition of cosine of an angle, we can find the horizontal component of the initial velocity vector, as follows:

       v_{avgx} = v_{o}*cos 50 = 67 m/s * cos 50 = 43.1 m/s (1)

  • Applying the definition of average velocity, since we know the horizontal distance to the target, we can find the time needed to travel this distance, as follows:

       t = \frac{\Delta x}{v_{avgx} } = \frac{400m}{43.1m/s} = 9.3 s  (2)

  • In the vertical direction, once launched, the only influence on the supply is due to gravity, that accelerates it with a downward acceleration that we call g, which magnitude is 9.8 m/s2.
  • Since g is constant (close to the Earth's surface), we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the vertical displacement at the same time t that we found above, as follows:

       \Delta y = v_{oy}  * t - \frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} (3)

  • In this case, v₀y, is just the vertical component of the initial velocity, that we can find applying the definition of the sine of an angle, as follows:

       v_{oy} = v_{o}*sin 50 = 67 m/s * sin 50 = 51.3 m/s (4)

  • Replacing in (3) the values of t, g, and v₀y, we can find the vertical displacement at the time t, as follows:

       \Delta y = (53.1m/s * 9.3s) - \frac{1}{2} *9.8m/s2*(9.3s)^{2} = 53.5 m (5)

  • Since when the payload have traveled itself 400 m, it will be at a height of 53.5 m (higher than the target) we can conclude that the payload will be delivered safely to the drop site.

A common way to measure the distance to lightning is to start counting, one count per second, as soon as you see the flash. Stop
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

d = 1.07 mile

Explanation:

The rationale for this method is that the speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound, the definition of speed in uniform motion is  

v = d / t  

d = v t  

the speed of sound is worth  

v = 343 m / s  

Therefore, the speed of sound must be multiplied by time to do this, all the units must be in the same system, as the distance in miles is requested  

v = 343 m/s (1mile/1609 m) (3600s/1 h) = 343 (2.24) = 767.4 mile/h  

v = 343 m / s (1 mile / 1609 m) = 0.213, mile/ s  

If the measured time is t = 5s we multiply it by the speed  

we substitute  

d = 0.213 5

d = 1.07 mile

If you want to calculate the speed, this method in general is not widely used, since you must know the distance where the lightning occurred, which is relatively complicated.
