If you are anchored in a fixed spot, and a set of six waves pass underneath you during a 60 second time interval, what is the wa

ve frequency (in waves/second) of the waves?

Answer:

Explanation:

Within a duration of 60 seconds, six waves are observed.

With a total of 6 waves,

this equates to 3 wavelengths.

As a result,

the period for each wavelength is calculated as 60 divided by 3.

Thus, period = 20 seconds.

According to the frequency-period relationship,

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 20

f = 0.05 Hz

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant
Yuliya22 [1153]

Answer:

v_f = 13m/s + 0.75 \frac{m}{s^2} * 16 s= 13 m/s +12m/s = 25 m/s

Explanation:

In this scenario, we determine the initial velocity as follows:

v_i = 7 \frac{m}{s}

The final velocity in this instance can be expressed as:

v_f = 13 \frac{m}{s}

It is noted that transitioning from 7m/s to 13m/s takes 8 seconds. We can apply a specific kinematic equation to find the acceleration for the first part of the journey:

v_f = v_i +at

Solved for acceleration, we find:

a = \frac{v_f -v_i}{t} = \frac{13 m/s -7 m/s}{8 s}= 0.75 \frac{m}{s^2}

For the subsequent route, we assume constant acceleration and that the train continues for 16 seconds, beginning with an initial velocity of 13m/s from the previous segment, allowing us to calculate the final speed via the following formula:

v_f = v_ i +a t

Substituting into the equation yields:

v_f = 13m/s + 0.75 \frac{m}{s^2} * 16 s= 13 m/s +12m/s = 25 m/s

Compare the momentum of a 6,300-kg elephant walking 0.11 m/s and a 50-kg dolphin swimming 10.4 m/s. your answer
inna [987]
<span>First, apply Newton's second law of motion: F = ma. Force equals mass times acceleration. This law describes force as the product of mass multiplied by acceleration (which is different from velocity). As acceleration is the variation in velocity over time, we have force = (mass * velocity) / time, leading us to conclude that (mass * velocity) / time will equal momentum / time. Hence, we derive the equation mass * velocity = momentum. Momentum = mass * velocity. For the elephant, with a mass of 6300 kg and velocity of 0.11 m/s, Momentum = 6300 * 0.11, resulting in P = 693 kg (m/s). For the dolphin, having a mass of 50 kg and moving at 10.4 m/s, Momentum = 50 * 10.4, yielding P = 520 kg (m/s). Thus, the elephant has a greater momentum (P) due to its larger size.</span>

An object initially at rest experiences a constant horizontal acceleration due to the action of a resultant force applied for 10
inna [987]

Answer:

a = 18.28 ft/s²

Explanation:

the values provided are:

duration of force application, t= 10 s

Work done = 10 Btu

mass of the object = 15 lb

acceleration, a =? ft/s²

1 Btu = 778.15 ft.lbf

thus, 10 Btu = 7781.5 ft.lbf

m = \dfrac{15}{32.174}\ slug

m = 0.466 slug

So,

the work is equivalent to the change in kinetic energy

W = \dfrac{1}{2} m (v_f^2-v_i^2)

7781.5 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.466\times v_f^2

 v_f = 182.75\ ft/s

The acceleration of the object is therefore

  a = \dfrac{v_f-v_o}{t}

  a = \dfrac{182.75-0}{10}

         a = 18.28 ft/s²

the constant acceleration of the object is calculated to be 18.28 ft/s²

The muzzle velocity of a gun is the velocity of the bullet when it leaves the barrel. The muzzle velocity of one rifle with a sh
Keith_Richards [1034]

Answer: small barrel gun

Explanation:

It is noted that short barrel guns have a higher muzzle velocity for bullets compared to longer barrel guns.

Acceleration is determined by the change in velocity with respect to time.

a=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

For short barrel guns, the bullet reaches its muzzle velocity more quickly, leading to greater acceleration than that of bullets from long barrel guns.
