Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

Wave: A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfers energy from one point to another, without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. Examples of wave are, water wave, sound wave, light rays, radio waves. etc.

The velocity of a moving wave is

v = λf ............................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of the wave, λ = wave length, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 2 Hz (two complete cycles in one seconds), λ = 10 meters

Substituting these values into equation 1

v = 2×10

v = 20 m/s.

Thus the speed of the wave = 20 m/s

The right option is C) 20 m/s

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

0.00066518 Nm

Explanation:

v = Velocity = 1.2 m/s

r = Distance to head = 2.3 cm

\omega_f = Final angular velocity

\omega_i = Initial angular velocity = 0

\alpha = Angular acceleration

t = Time taken = 2.4 s

Angular speed is given by

\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{1.2}{0.023}\\\Rightarrow \omega=52.17391\ rad/s

From equation of rotational motion

\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{52.17391-0}{2.4}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=21.73912\ rad/s^2

Torque

\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=\dfrac{1}{2}mR^2\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=\dfrac{1}{2}0.017\times 0.06^2\times 21.73912\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.00066518\ Nm

The torque of the motor is 0.00066518 Nm

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

Explanation:

The corrosion rate is the rate of material remove.The formula for calculating CPR or corrosion penetration rate is

CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}

K= constant depends on the system of units used.

W= weight =485 g

D= density =7.9 g/cm³

A = exposed specimen area =100 in² =6.452 cm²

K=534 to give CPR in mpy

K=87.6  to give CPR in mm/yr

mpy

CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}

        =\frac{534\times( 485g)\times( 10^3mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3) \times (100in^2)\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}

        =37.4mpy

mm/yr

CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}

        =\frac{87.6\times (485g)\times (10^3 mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3)\times (100in^2)\times(2.54cm/in)^2\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}

       =0.952 mm/yr

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0kg fish from a dock that is 2.0m above the water. He is using lightweightfishing line th
agasfer [191]

Answer:

t = 2 s

Explanation:

As we know that fish is pulled upwards with uniform maximum acceleration

then we will have

T - mg = ma

here we know that maximum possible acceleration of so that string will not break is given as

T = 54 N

now we have

54 - (5 \times 9.8) = 5 a

a = 1 m/s^2

now for such acceleration we can use kinematics

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2

2 = \frac{1}{2}(1) t^2

t = 2 s
