Horizontal distance between two boats = x = 24m
One boat is at trough, the other is at crest.
As there is no crests between them meaning the boat are next to each other.
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests/troughs = w
The distance between a crest and a trough next to it = w/2
Complete cycles = c = 4
Time taken for c cycles = t = 12s
Vertical distance between two boats = y = 3.6m

To find:
wavelength = w = 2(x) = 48m
Amplitude =  A = Displacement from mean to extreme position = y/2 = 1.8m
Time period for one cycle = T = t/c = 12/4 = 3 s/cycle
frequency = 1/T = 1/3 = 0.33 hertz
speed = wavelength/Period = w/T = 48/3 = 16m/s

Where do incident rays that are parallel to the principal axis converge to after reflecting off a concave mirror?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

At focus

Explanation:

A concave mirror is converging in nature. In a mirror, concave in nature, the rays which are parallel to the principal axis are supposed to be coming from very large distances or we assume the source to be placed at infinity for such rays which are parallel to the principal axis.

These rays,  parallel to the principal axis, coming from infinity, converges at the focus of the mirror concave in nature after reflecting from the concave mirror

Kay [80]
<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>

(a) Calculate the absolute pressure at the bottom of a fresh- water lake at a depth of 27.5 m. Assume the density of the water i
ddd [48]

Answer:

a) P = 370.993\,kPa, b) F = 25.948\,kN

Explanation:

a) The absolute pressure at a depth of 27.5 meters is:

P = P_{atm} + P_{man}

P = 101.3\,kPa + \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}\right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (27.5\,m)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,kPa}{1000\,Pa} \right)

P = 370.993\,kPa

b) The force exerted by the water is:

F = (P - P_{atm})\cdot A

F = (370.993\,kPa-101.3\,kPa)\cdot \left(\frac{\pi}{4} \right)\cdot (0.35\,m)^{2}

F = 25.948\,kN

Whipple is confused about the connection between the velocity and acceleration of the tennis ball. he decides to compare the vel
tamaranim1 [39]

The speed of the ball is always zero and the acceleration is always -g when it reaches the top of its motion. This is because when the ball is free, only gravity acts on it which is always downwards, hence g is the net acceleration and it is always negative. However the velocity does not direction change instantly, negative acceleration first slows down the ball with a positive velocity, until that point the ball keeps moving up, then the ball velocity becomes zero just before changing direction and becoming negative after which the ball will now go down along gravity. Hence the ball velocity is zero at the top (neither going up nor down). Mathematically this can be seen as velocity is the integration of acceleration.

A 10-meter long ramp has a mechanical advantage of 5. What is the height of the ramp?
denpristay [2]
<span><span>1.       </span>If the ramp has a length of 10 and has a mechanical advantage (MA) of 5. Then we need to find the height of the ramp.
Formula:
MA = L / H
Since we already have the mechanical advantage and length, this time we need to find the height .
MA 5 = 10 / h
h = 10 / 5
h = 2 meters

Therefore, the ramp has a length of 10 meters, a height of 2 meters with a mechanical advantage of 5.</span>
