The wavelength of the water wave is 15 m.

<h3>What is wavelegth?</h3>

Wavelength is the distance of a complete cycle traveled by a wave.

To calculate the wavelength of the wave, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • v = λ/T.................Equation 1

Where:

  • v = velocity of wave
  • T = period
  • λ = wavelength.

make λ the subject of the equation

  • λ = vT............... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • v = 5 m/s
  • t = 3 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • λ = 5(3)
  • λ  = 15 m.

Hence, The wavelength of the water wave is 15 m.

A Ping-Pong ball has a mass of 2.3 g and a terminal speed of 9.1 m/s. The drag force is of the form bv2 What is the value of b?
meriva
At terminal velocity, drag force becomes equal to weight. Therefore:
weight = bv²
0.0023 x 9.81 = b x 9.1²
b = 2.72 x 10⁻⁴

A very strong, but inept, shot putter puts the shot straight up vertically with an initial velocity of 11.0 m/s. how long does h
noname [10]
The shot putter should get out of the way before the ball returns to the launch position.

Assume that the launch height is the reference height of zero.
u = 11.0 m/s, upward launch velocity.
g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity.

The time when the ball is at the reference position (of zero) is given by
ut - (1/2)gt² = 0
11t - 0.5*9.8t² = 0
t(11 - 4.9t) = 0
t = 0 or t = 4.9/11 =  0.45 s

t = 0 corresponds to when the ball is launched.
t = 0.45 corresponds to when the ball returns to the launch position.

Answer: 0.45 s
