Answer:

Speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that, tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second.

We know that the number of waves per second is called the frequency of a wave.

So, f = 17.5 Hz

Wavelength of each wave, \lambda=45\ cm=0.45\ m

Speed of the wave is given by :

v=f\lambda

v=17.5\times 0.45

v = 7.87 m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

where h = Planck's constant = 6.63 * 10⁻³⁴ Js,  m = mass in kg,  v = velocity in m/s.
m = 1kg,  v = 4.5 m/s

λ = h / mv

λ = (6.63 * 10⁻³⁴) /(1*4.5)

λ ≈  1.473 * 10⁻³⁴  m

If a 3-kg rabbit's leg muscles act as imperfectly elastic springs, how much energy will they hold if the rabbit lands from a hei
DiKsa [7]

Answer;

- 15 J

Explanation;

-Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position.

-For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m /s² at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters.

Potential energy of the rabbit at the peak of its height is

PE = (3)(10)(0.5) = 15 J

(around 14.7 but because energy is lost, it is less than that)

Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different direc
Advocard [28]

Answer:

the direction that should be walked by Ricardo to go directly to Jane is 23.52 m, 24° east of south

Explanation:

given information:

Ricardo walks 27.0 m in a direction 60.0 ∘ west of north, thus

A= 27

Ax =  27 sin 60 = - 23.4

Ay = 27 cos 60 = 13.5

Jane walks 16.0 m in a direction 30.0 ∘ south of west, so

B = 16

Bx = 16 cos 30 = -13.9

By = 16  sin 30 = -8

the direction that should be walked by Ricardo to go directly to Jane

R = √A²+B² - (2ABcos60)

   = √27²+16² - (2(27)(16)(cos 60))

   = 23.52 m

now we can use the sines law to find the angle

tan θ = \frac{R_{y} }{R_{x} }

         = By - Ay/Bx -Ax

         = (-8 - 13.5)/(-13.9 - (-23.4))

     θ  = 90 - (-8 - 13.5)/(-13.9 - (-23.4))

         = 24° east of south

A physics student shoves a 0.50-kg block from the bottom of a frictionless 30.0° inclined plane. The student performs 4.0 j of w
Musya8 [376]

Answer:1.63 m

Explanation:

Given

mass of block m=0.5 kg

inclination \theta =30^{\circ}

Amount of work done W=4 J

block slides a distance s along the Plane

Work done =change in Potential Energy

Increase in height of block is s\sin \theta

Change in Potential Energy =mg(\sin \theta -0)

\Delta P.E.=0.5\times 9.8\times s\sin 30

4=0.5\times 9.8\times s\sin 30

s=\frac{4}{2.45}      

s=1.63 m

A car is traveling at 120 km/h (75 mph). When applied the braking system can stop the car with a deceleration rate of 9.0 m/s2.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V  = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s

Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec

Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec

extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec

now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver  will be'

S_d = V × 2.2 sec

S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec

S_d = 73.3333 m

hence, number of car of additional car length  n will be;

n = S_n / car length

n = 73.3333 m / 5m

n = 14.666 ≈ 15

Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15
