A person fishing from a pier observes that 6 wave crests pass by in 8.0 s and estimates the distance between two successive cres

ts to be 4.8 m. The timing starts with the first wave crest and ends with the last. What is the speed of the wave?

Answer:

The speed of the wave is 3 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of waves = 6

Time = 8.0 s

Successive crests \lambda = 4.8\ m

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

f=\dfrac{Number\ of \ cycles}{t}

Put the value into the formula

f=\dfrac{6-1}{8.0}

f=0.625\ cycle/sec

We need to calculate the speed of the wave

Using formula of speed

v=\lambda\times f

Put the value into the formula

v=4.8\times0.625

v=3\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the wave is 3 m/s.

Technician A says that some ABS wheel speed sensors are used as part of the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) . Technician
erica [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Technician A and B are both correct.

Explanation:

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a vehicle safety system that allows the wheels of a car to maintain tractive contact with the road surface while braking, preventing the wheels from locking up (ceasing rotation) and avoiding uncontrolled skidding. It is an automated system that uses the principles of cadence braking.

Anti-lock braking systems since their invention and introduction, have been improved remarkably in a bid to further improve driver safety and comfort.  <em>Recent technology not only prevents wheel lock up under braking, but can also provide data for the on board navigation system, traction control system, emergency brake assist, </em><u><em>hill start assist</em></u><em>, electronic stability control and the front-to-rear brake bias</em>. None of the above would be possible without wheel speed sensors.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TMPS) is an electronic system in your vehicle that monitors your tire air pressure and alerts you when it falls dangerously low.

Indirect TPMS works with your car’s Antilock Braking System’s (ABS) wheel speed sensors. If a tire’s pressure is low, it will roll at a different wheel speed than the other tires. This information is detected by your car’s computer system, which triggers the dashboard indicator light.

Cheers!

Consider the vector b⃗ with magnitude 4.00 m at an angle 23.5∘ north of east. what is the x component bx of this vector? express
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Decomposing the vector b on the x-axis and the y-axis, we get a rectangle triangle where the two sides are bx (x-axis) and by (y-axis), and b is the hypothenuse.
The component in x, bx, is equal to the product between the hypothenuse and the cosine of the angle between b and the x-axis, which is 23.5 ^{\circ}:
b_x = b \cos (23^{\circ})=(4.00 m)(\cos (23^{\circ}))=3.68 m

Given the indices of refraction n1 and n2 of material 1 and material 2, respectively, rank these scenarios on the basis of the p
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

c>d>f=a>b>e

Explanation:

When a pair of medial has greater difference between the their individual refractive indices with respect to vacuum then it has a greater deviation between the refracted ray and the incident ray.

According to the Snell's law:

\rm refractive\ index\ (n)=\frac{speed\ of\ light\ in\ the\ incident\ medium}{speed\ of\ light\ in\ the\ refracted\ medium}

a)

n_1-n_2=1.33-1.00\\=0.33

b)

n_2-n_1=1.46-1.33

=0.23

c)

n_2-n_1=2.42-1.33\\=1.09

d)

n_2-n_1=1.46-1.00\\=0.46

e)

n_1-n_2=1.50-1.33\\=0.17

f)

n_2-n_1=1.33-1.00\\=0.33

c>d>f=a>b>e

You throw a baseball (mass 0.145 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 12.0 m/s. Air resistance can be neglected.
Andru [333]

Answer:

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of height and velocity of the ball are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the ball at time t.

Placing the origin at the throwing point, y0 = 0.

Let´s use the equation of velocity to obtain the time at which the velocity is 12.0 m/s / 2 = 6.00 m/s.

v = v0 + g · t

6.00 m/s = 12.0 m/s -9.81 m/s² · t

(6.00 - 12.0)m/s / -9.81 m/s² = t

t = 0.612 s

Now, let´s calculate the height of the baseball at that time:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²     (y0 = 0)

y = 12.0 m/s · 0.612 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (0.612 s)²

y = 5.51 m

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Have a nice day!

Finger [1]
1) metal
Even though metalloids are also conductors of heat and electricity, malleable they are not as good as metals.
Metals are very good conductors of electricity and heat. They are also very hard to touch. Noble gases and non metals are the exact opposite in physical and chemical properties. Metals readily react with oxygen.
