Answer:

3 s

Explanation:

Since he observes 10 waves after 30 seconds then it means for every 1 wave it takes 30/10= 3 seconds to appear. This is the period of the waves. Also since the waves are 5 m apart, that is the wavelength ie wavelength is 5 m. Note that frequency is reciprocal of period hence frequency is 1/3= 0.33 Hz

If a force of 65 N is exerted on a 45 kg sofa and the sofa is moved 6.0 meters, how much work is done in moving the sofa? 17,550
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:   W = 390 J

Explanation:

Work is the transfer of energy when a body is moved from one place to another.

Data

Force = 65 N

mass = 45 kg

distance = 6 meters

work = ? J

Formula

W = F x d

Process

                   W = 65 N x 6 m

                   W = 390 J

a child hits a ball with a force of 350 N. (a) If the ball and bat are in contact for 0.12 is, what impulse does the ball receiv
Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Given that,

Force with which a child hits a ball is 350 N

Time of contact is 0.12 s

We need to find the impulse received by the ball. The impulse delivered is given by :

J=F\times t\\\\J=350\times 0.12\\\\J=42\ N-m

So, the impulse is 42 N-m..

We know that he change in momentum is also equal to the impulse delivered.

So, impulse = 42 N-m and change in momentum =42 N-m.

The gravity tractor is a proposed spacecraft that will fly close to an asteroid whose trajectory threatens to impact the Earth.
Talja [164]

Answer:

F_g=461lb_f

Explanation:

First calculate the mass of the asteroid. To do so, you need to find the volume and know the density of iron.

If r = d/2 = 645ft, then:

V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

V = 1.124*10^{9}ft^3

So

\delta_{iron}=m/V=491lb/ft^3

m=V*\delta=5.519*10^{11}lb

Once you  know both masses, you can calculate the force using Newton's universal law of gravitation:

F_g=G\frac{m_1m_2}{d^2}

Where G is the gravitational constant:

G= 1.068846 * 10^{-9} ft^3 lb^{-1} s^{-2}

F_g=461lb_f
