You and your surfing buddy are waiting to catch a wave a few hundred meters off the beach. The waves are conveniently sinusoidal

, and you notice that when you're on the top of one wave and moving toward your friend, she is exactly halfway between you and the trough of the wave. 1.50 seconds later, your friend is at the top of the wave. You estimate the horizontal distance between you and your friend at 8.00 m. (a) What is the frequency of the waves?

(a) The frequency of the waves is ¹/₆ Hz ≈ 0.167 Hz

(b) The speed of the waves is 5¹/₃ m/s ≈ 5.33 m/s

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the speed of wave and intensity of wave formula as follows:

$\large {\boxed {v = \lambda f}}$

<em>f = frequency of wave ( Hz )</em>

<em>v = speed of wave ( m/s )</em>

<em>λ = wavelength ( m )</em>

$\texttt{ }$

$\large {\boxed {I = 2 \pi^2 A^2 f^2 \rho v}}$

<em>I = intensity of wave ( W/m² )</em>

<em>A = amplitude of wave ( m )</em>

<em>f = frequeny of wave ( Hz )</em>

<em>ρ = density of medium ( kg/m³ )</em>

<em>v = speed of wave ( m/s )</em>

<em>Let's tackle the problem!</em>

<u>Given:</u>

time taken = t = 1.50 seconds

distance covered = d = 8.00 m

<u>Asked:</u>

(a) frequency of the waves = ?

(b) speed of the waves = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h3>Question (a):</h3>

$t = \frac{1}{4}T$

$1.50 = \frac{1}{4}T$

$T = 4 \times 1.50$

$T = 6 \texttt{ seconds}$

$\texttt{ }$

$f = \frac{1}{T}$

$f = \frac{1}{6} \texttt{ Hz}$

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Question (b):</h3>

$d = \frac{1}{4}\lambda$

$8.00 = \frac{1}{4}\lambda$

$\lambda = 8.00 \times 4$

$\lambda = 32 \texttt{ m}$

$\texttt{ }$

$v = \lambda f$

$v = 32 \times \frac{1}{6}$

$v = 5\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ m/s}$

Answer:

(a): The frequency of the waves is f= 0.16 Hz

Explanation:

T/4= 1.5 s

T= 6 sec

f= 1/T

f= 0.16 Hz (a)

A plane traveling north at 100.0 km/h through the air gets caught in a 40.0 km/h crosswind blowing west. This turbulence caused

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

If I assume that the wind did not cause the plane to chage its velocity.

The plane will have a velocity of vp = (0*i + 100*j) km/h relative to ground

The cart has a velocity of vc = (0*i - 20*j) km/h relative to the plane

vc' = vc + vp

vc' = (0*i + 100*j) + (0*i - 20*j) = (0*i + 80*j) km/h relative to the ground.

If I assume that the wind move the plane:

The plane will have a velocity of vp = (-40*i + 100*j) km/h relative to ground

The cart has a velocity of vc = (0*i - 20*j) km/h relative to the plane

vc' = vc + vp

vc' = (-40*i + 100*j) + (0*i - 20*j) = (-40*i + 80*j) km/h relative to the ground.

In reality the wind would move the plane a little, not to the full speed of the wind, somewhere between these two values, but without more data it cannot be calculated.

All of the following are types of perceptual constancies except __________ constancy. A. direction B. size C. shape D. color

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

A direction can be a perceptual constancy, it's the same reason how blind folded, or people suffering from any kind of visual problem or psychological problem are able to make Thier right decision
size, shape, color are perceptual constancy
so the most correct option would DIRECTION

7. A local sign company needs to install a new billboard. The signpost is 30 m tall, and the ladder truck is parked 24 m away fr

wolverine [178]

<h2>Solution :</h2>

Here ,

• Height of sign post = 30 m

• Distance between signpost and truck = 24 m

Let the

• Top of signpost = A

• Bottom of signpost = B

• The end of truck facing sign post be = C

Now as we can clearly imagine that the ladder will act as an hypotenuse to the Triangle ABC .

Where

• AB = Height of signpost = 30 m

• BC = distance between both = 24 m

• AC = Minimum length of ladder

→ AC² = AB² + BC² ( As we can see AB is perpendicular to BC )

→ AC² = (30)² + (24)²

→ AC² = 900 + 576

→ AC² = 1476

→ AC = 38.41875

or AC apx = 38.42

So minimum height of ladder = 38.42

A tennis ball of mass m=0.060 kg and speed v=25 m/s strikes a wall at a 45 angle and rebounds with the same velocity at 45°. Wha

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Impulse which can be defined as the product between mass and the total change in velocity. That is to say

$p = m\Delta v$

Here,

m = mass

$\Delta v =$ Change in velocity

As we can see there are two types of velocity at the moment the object makes the impact,

the first would be the initial velocity perpendicular to the wall and the final velocity perpendicular to the wall.

That is to say,

$v_i = vcos\theta$

$v_f = -v sin\theta$

El angulo dado es de 45° y la velocidad de 25, por tanto

$v_i = (25)cos(45) = 17.68m/s$

$v_f = -(25)sin(45) = -17.68m/s$

The change of sign indicates a change in the direction of the object.

Therefore the impulse would be as

$p = 0.060(-17.68-17.68)$

$p = -2.12kg \cdot m/s$

The negative sign indicates that the pulse is in the opposite direction of the initial velocity.
