A man standing on a dock is watching the waves pass by the end of the dock. He times the passage of the waves as one crest every 2.5 s. He estimates the distance between two crests to be 2.0 m. How fast are the waves moving?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

If the passage of the waves is one crest every 2.5 seconds, then that is the frequency of the wave, f.

The distance between the 2 crests (or troughs) is the wavelength, λ.

We want the velocity of this wave. The equation that relates these 3 things is

[tex]f=\frac{v}{\lambda}[/tex] and filling in:

[tex]2.5=\frac{v}{2.0}[/tex] so

v = 2.5(2.0) and

v = 5.0 m/s

If a driver makes contact with a steering wheel during a 35 mph crash, she comes to rest in about Δ=15 ms. If, during an identical crash, the driver makes contact with an air bag, she comes to rest in about Δ=110 ms. What is the ratio of the force exerted by the steering wheel to the force exerted by the air bag on the driver?

Answers

Answer:

The ratio of forces is 22 : 3.

Explanation:

Case I:

initial velocity, u = 35 mph

final velocity, v = 0

time, t = 15 ms

Case II:

initial velocity, u = 35 mph

final velocity, v = 0

time, t' = 110 ms

let the mass is m.

According to the Newton's second law, the force is given by the rate of change of momentum.

So

[tex]F =\frac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F'= \frac{m(v-u)}{t'}\\\\So, \frac{F}{F'} =\frac{t'}{t}\\\\\frac{F}{F'}=\frac{110}{15}=22:3[/tex]

A ball is dropped from the top of a building. It initially
moves at 40 m/s. After 0.5 seconds, it moves at 3.8
m/s.
What force is responsible for the slowing of the ball?
air resistance
gravity
normal
tension

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

I'm assuming you missed the decimal point in the initial velocity and that it should be 4.0 m/s. If after a half of a second it is moving a tiny bit slower, it would be because of air resistance. You can only neglect air resistance if the problems you are doing tell you neglect it.

Air resistance

Pablo kicked a ball that went 12m/s at 14° from the ground to fly through the goalie's hands. How high did the ball go?​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

There are a couple of things we need to clear up before we start the problem. First of all, we are given an angle in the problem along with an initial velocity. BUT this is what I call a "blanket" velocity: it is neither the upwards velocity nor is it the horizontal velocity. In order to find either the upwards velocity or the horizontal velocity we have to use either the sin or the cos function, respectively. Since we are working ONLY in the y-dimension, which is up and down, we use the sin function along with the given velocity to find the upwards velocity of the ball. Secondly, we have to know that the final velocity at the max height of the ball is 0. So here is what we have:

v₀ = 12sin14 so

v₀ = 2.9 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s/s

v = 0 m/s

Δx = ??? m

The equation we need is

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx and filling in:

0 = (2.9)² + 2(-9.8)Δx and

0 = 8.4 - 2.0 × 10¹Δx and

-8.4 = -2.0 × 10¹Δx so, to the correct number of sig dig,

Δx = 170 m

a body of mass 5kg moving on a horizontal ground has a coefficient of friction 0.36.find the normal reaction acting on the body?​

Answers

Answer:

50 N.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 5 Kg

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.36

Normal reaction (N) =?

Next, we shall determine the weight of the body. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 5 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Weight (W) =?

W = mg

W = 5 × 10

W = 50 N

Finally, we shall determine the normal reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight (W) = 50 N

Normal reaction (N) =?

Normal reaction = weight of the body

N = W = 50 N

Thus, the normal reaction acting on the body is 50 N

A)

5.0 m, 29.0 m


B)

5.0 m, 5.0 m


C)

29.0 m, 29.0 m


D)

29.0 m, 5.0 m

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement involves direction and distance.  In this case, the deer has walked a distance of 17 + 12 = 29m but because of the South-then-North direction, the net displacement is only 17-12 = 5m.

So the answer is A)   5.0 m, 29.0 m

South=17mNorth=12m

Displacement:-

17-12=5m

Distance:-

17+12=29m

A 2.0-meter length of copper wire is connected across a potential difference of 24 millivolts.

is
A)

B)
0.80 A
C)
1.6 A
D)
0.40 A

Answers

Answer:

The current through the wire is equal to 0.8 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a copper wire = 2 m

Potential difference = 24 mV

The current through the wire is 0.40 A.

The new potential difference is 48 mV.

We need to find the current through the wire.

As the potential difference is doubled for second wire. So the new current will be :

I' = 2I

= 2 × 0.4

= 0.80 A

So, the current through the wire is equal to 0.8 A.

In an experiment, 120 g of ice at 0 °C is to be melted. The specific latent heat of
ice is 340 J/g. Assume that all the energy from the heater will be used to melt
the ice.
Q1) Calculate the expected time for which the 60 W heater is switched on.​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]680\; \rm s[/tex].

Explanation:

Start by finding the total amount of energy required for melting that much ice.

[tex]\begin{aligned}&\text{Energy required for melting ice sample} \\ &= \text{Mass of Ice} \times \text{Specific Latent Heat of Ice} \\ &= 120\; \rm g \times 340\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1} = 4.08 \times 10^{4}\; \rm J \end{aligned}[/tex].

Hence, the heater would need to supply (at least) [tex]4.08 \times 10^{4}\; \rm J[/tex] of energy.

The power of the heater is [tex]60\; \rm W[/tex], which is equivalent to [tex]60\; \rm J \cdot s^{-1}[/tex], In other words, the heater is rated to supply [tex]60\; \rm J[/tex] of energy every second.

Amount of time it takes for the heater to supply [tex]4.08 \times 10^{4}\; \rm J[/tex] at [tex]60\; \rm J \cdot s^{-1}[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\frac{4.08 \times 10^{4}\; \rm J}{60\; \rm J \cdot s^{-1}} = 680\; \rm s\end{aligned}[/tex].

Hence, it would take [tex]680\; \rm s[/tex] for the heater to melt the ice if the heater is insulated, and all the energy from the heater went to the ice.
