Ocean waves are observed to travel to the right along the water surface during a developing storm. A Coast Guard weather station

observes that there is a vertical distance from high point to low point of 4.6 meters and a horizontal distance of 8.6 meters between adjacent crests. The waves splash into the station once every 6.2 seconds. Determine the amplitude, wavelength, frequency and period of these waves. Write out the equation that governs this behavior.

Answer:

The amplitude is  2.3 m

The Wavelength is 8.6 m

The frequency is 0.16 Hz

The time period is 6.25 sec

The equation that governs the behavior is  Y=(2.3)sin[(\frac{2\pi}{8.6} )x -(\frac{2\pi}{6.2} )t]

Explanation:

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
Tatiana [17]
You can reason it out like this:

-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s

                                                                           =  3,600 meters .
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph ! 

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

An overnight rainstorm has caused a major roadblock. Three massive rocks of mass m1=584 kg, m2=838 kg, and m3=322 kg have blocke
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Explanation:

Total force required = Mass x Acceleration,

F = ma

Here we need to consider the system as combine, total mass need to be considered.

Total mass, a = m₁+m₂+m₃ = 584 + 838 + 322 = 1744 kg

We need to accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s²

That is acceleration, a = 0.250 m/s²

Force required, F = ma = 1744 x 0.25 = 436 N

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Last year a baseball player made 63 errors. This year he made 42. What percent decrease was there in the number of errors commit
Crank

Answer:

33.33 %

Explanation:

given,

error last year = 63

error this year = 42

percent decrease in the error = ?

to find the percentage difference in the error formula used is

   = \dfrac{difference}{original}\times 100

   = \dfrac{63-42}{63}\times 100

   = \dfrac{21}{63}\times 100

   = 33.33 %

Percentage decrease in the number of error is equal to 33.33%.

What frequency is received by a person watching an oncoming ambulance moving at 110 km/h and emitting a steady 800-Hz sound from
Strike441 [17]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The frequency of sound perceive by observer changes from source emitting the sound. The frequency received by observer f_{obs} is more than the frequency emitted by the source. The expression to find the frequency received by the person is,

f_{obs} = f_s (\frac{v_w}{v_w-v_s})

f_s= Frequency of the source

v_w= Speed of sound

v_s= Speed of source

The velocity of the ambulance is

v_s = 119km/h (\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

v_s = 30.55m/s

Replacing at the expression to frequency of observer we have,

f_{obs} = 800Hz(\frac{345m/s}{345m/s-30.55m/s})

f_{obs} = 878Hz

Therefore the frequency receive by observer is 878Hz
