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.

A rocket exhausts fuel with a velocity of 1500m/s, relative to the rocket. It starts from rest in outer space with fuel comprisi
babunello [35]

Answer:

v= 2413.5 m/s

Explanation:

maximum change of speed of rocket

=(initial exhaust velocity)×ln [(initialmass/finalmass)]

let initial mass= m

final mass = m-m(4/5) = m/5

[since the 80% of mass which is fuel is exhausted]

V-0 = 1500 ln (1/0.2)

V= 1500×1.609 = 2413.5 m/s

therefore, its exhaust speed v= 2413.5 m/s

The 20-lb cabinet is subjected to the force F = (3 + 2t) lb, where t is in seconds. If the cabinet is initially moving down the
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

t₁ = 0.95 s

Explanation:

In this chaos we must use the definition of Newton's second law

      F = m a = m dv / dt

      dv = F dt / m

Let's replace and integrate, let's take the upward direction of the plane as positive, the force is positive

       dv = ∫ (3 + 2t) dt / m

       v = (3 t + 2 t²/ 2) /m

Let's evaluate between the lower limit t = 0 v = -6 ft / s (going down) to the upper limit   t = t and v = 0

       0 - (-6) = (3 (t- 0) + (t² -0)) / m

       t² + 3t -6m = 0

Let's look for the mass

      W = mg

      m = W / g

      m = 20/32

      m = 0.625 slug

Let's solve the second degree equation

     t² + 3t -3.75 = 0

     t = (-3 ± √ (32 + 4 1 3.75)) / 2

     t = (-3 ± 4,899) / 2

     t₁ = 0.95 s

     t₂ = -3.95 s

We take the positive time

At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is a moving conveyor belt
Volgvan

Answer:

It takes you 32.27 seconds to travel 121 m using the speed ramp

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- The speed ramp has a length of 121 m and is moving at a speed of

 2.2 m/s relative to the ground

- That means the speed of the ramp is 2.2 m/s

- You can cover the same distance in 78 seconds when walking on

  the ground

<em>Lets find your speed on the ground</em>

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

The distance is 121 meters

The time is 78 seconds

Your speed on the ground = 121 ÷ 78 = 1.55 m/s

If you walk at the same rate with respect to the speed ramp that

you walk on the ground

That means you walk with speed 1.55 m/s and the ramp moves by

speed 2.2 m/s

So your speed using the ramp = 2.2 + 1.55 = 3.75 m/s

Now we want to find the time you will take to travel 121 meters using

the speed ramp

Time = Distance ÷ speed

Distance = 121 meters

Speed 3.75 m/s

Time = 121 ÷ 3.75 = 32.27 seconds

It takes you 32.27 seconds to travel 121 m using the speed ramp
