A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.60 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.630 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.70 m apart. Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?

a) v = 1.1 m/s

b) A = 0.315 m

c) v = 1.1 m/s A= 0.15 m

Explanation:

In any travelling wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency, as follows:

$v = \lambda * f (1)$

If the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.7 m apart, this means that the wavelength of the wave is just the same, i.e., 5.70 m.Regarding the frequency, we know that the frequency is just the inverse of the period, i.e., the time needed to complete one oscillation.If it takes a time of 2.60 s to go from the highest point to the lowest, the time needed to complete an oscillation (the period T) will be just double of this time:⇒ T = 2.60 s * 2 = 5.20 s (2)Since we have now T, we can find the frequency f as follows:

$f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{5.20s} = 0.19 Hz (3)$

Replacing f and λ in (1) we get:

$v = \lambda * f = 5.70 m * 0.19 Hz = 1.10 m/s (4)$

The amplitude of the wave is just the amount that the water aparts from its equilibrium level, which is just the half of the distance between its highest point and the lowest one, as follows:

$A = \frac{0.630m}{2} = 0.315 m (5)$

Part a) will not be affected by the new amplitude, because we have showed that the speed is independent of the amplitude, so v can be written as follows:

v = 1.10 m/s (6)

Part b) will change , due to the amplitude changes. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat is 0.30 m, by the same token as explained in b), the new amplitude will be just half of this, as follows:

$A = \frac{0.30m}{2} = 0.15 m (7)$

1.the balanced chemical equation is as below

cu + 2 ag(no)₃ → cu(no₃)₂ +2 ag

2.the much silver produced is 50.9 g

step 1: find the moles of cu

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of cu = 63.5 g/mol

moles is therefore = 15.00 g÷ 63.5 g/mol = 0.236 moles

step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the moles of ag

from equation above cu: ag is 1: 2

therefore the moles of ag =0.236 moles x 2/1 =0.472 moles

step 3: find the mass of ag

mass = moles x molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of ag =107.87 g/mol

mass = 0.472 moles x 107.87 g/mol = 50.9 g

3. the much silver collected worth is 1.797 oz

convert 50.9 g to oz

that is 1 gram = 0.0353 oz

50.9 grams =? oz

by cross multiplication

={(50.9 grams x 0.0353 oz) / 1 gram} =1.797 oz

It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. you've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. you've been walking at a steady 1.5m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 32 ∘ angle. you estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 65 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 80 n .

During the apollo moon missions, astronauts were concerned about the effects of newton's third law of motion when: o a. they ejected waste water, because they were concerned that it would push them off course. o b. they reentered earth's atmosphere, because they were carrying heavy moon rocks. o c. they took off from earth, because a large force was required to generate large acceleration. o d. they detected incoming space debris, because the inertia of the debris could damage their ship.
