A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.70 ss for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.660 mm . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.90 mm apart.
Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, how fast are the waves traveling ?
d. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, what is the amplitude of each wave?
Answer:
a) 1.092 m/s
b) 0.33 m
c) 0.25 m
Explanation:
To start with, from the formula of wave, we know that
v = f λ, where
v = velocity of wave
f = frequency of the wave
λ = wavelength of the wave
Again, on another hand, we know that
T = 1/f, where T = period of the wave
From the question, we are given that
t = 2.7 s
d = 0.66 m
λ = 5.9 m
Period, T = 2 * t
Period, T = 2 * 2.7
Period, T = 5.4 s
If T = 1/f, then f = 1/T, thus
Frequency, f = 1/5.4
Frequency, f = 0.185 hz
Remember, v = f λ
v = 0.185 * 5.9
v = 1.092 m/s
Amplitude, A = d/2
Amplitude, A = 0.66/2
Amplitude, A = 0.33 m
If the other distance travelled by the boat is 0.5, then Amplitude is
A = 0.5/2
A = 0.25 m
Which of the following statements about waves is NOT true?
Amplitude is related to the amount of energy in a wave.
Frequency is related to the number of wave cycles per unit of time.
Wavelength is the distance from the wave crest to the wave trough.
Waves transfer energy (sometimes in the form of vibrations).
Wave amplitude it the distance from the rest position to the crest or trough
This statement is not true:
"Wavelength is the distance from the wave crest to the wave trough."
The others listed are true.

explain why it is not safe for a double decker bus to carry standing passenger on the upper Decker
Answer: The reason why it's not safe for a double decker bus to carry standing passengers is because the center of gravity is raised causing increase in instability of the bus.
Explanation:
A double decker bus is a type of bus that has double decks and usually used by transportation companies for a transport business. Stability is the ability of an object to remain in its state of equilibrium after being distrubed. Stable objects are very difficult to lose balance while unstable object lose their balance easily.
For an object to be stable it must have:
--> a wide base and
--> a low center of gravity.
Therefore when an object has a wide base and a low center of gravity, it is more stable than an object that has a narrow base and a high center of gravity. Center of gravity is the average weight location of an object.
When passengers are left standing on the upper deck of the double decker bus, this INCREASES the center of gravity. This makes the center of gravity of the bus to be outside the base or edge on which it balances. The weight upon having a turning effect will cause the bus to topple and fall which can be dangerous to the lives of the passengers. Therefore it is advisable for passengers to seat while the bus is in motion to help reduce the center of gravity.

A disk with mass 1.64 kg and radius 0.61 meters is spinning counter-clockwise with an angular velocity of 17.6 rad/s. A rod of mass 1.51 kg and length 1.79 meters spinning clockwise with an angular velocity of 5.12 rad/s is dropped on the spinning disk and stuck to it (the centers of the disk and the rod coincide). The combined system continues to spin with a common final angular velocity. Calculate the magnitude of the loss in rotational kinetic energy due to the collision
Answer:
The loss in rotational kinetic energy due to the collision is 36.585 J.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the disk, m₁ = 1.64 kg
radius of the disk, r = 0. 61 m
angular velocity of the disk, ω₁ = 17.6 rad/s
mass of the rod, m₂ = 1.51 kg
length of the rod, L = 1.79 m
angular velocity of the rod, ω₂ = 5.12 rad/s (clock-wise)
let the counter-clockwise be the positive direction
let the clock-wise be the negative direction
The common final velocity of the two systems after the collision is calculated by applying principle of conservation of angular momentum ;
m₁ω₁ + m₂ω₂ = ωf(m₁ + m₂)
where;
ωf is the common final angular velocity
1.64 x 17.6 + 1.51(-5.12) = ωf(1.64 + 1.51)
21.1328 = ωf(3.15)
ωf = 21.1328 / 3.15
ωf = 6.709 rad/s
The moment of inertia of the disk is calculated as follows;
[tex]I_{disk} = \frac{1}{2} mr^2\\\\I_{disk} = \frac{1}{2} (1.64)(0.61)^2\\\\I_{disk} = 0.305 \ kgm^2[/tex]
The moment of inertia of the rod about its center is calculated as follows;
[tex]I_{rod} = \frac{1}{12} mL^2\\\\I_{rod} = \frac{1}{12} \times 1.51 \times 1.79^2\\\\I _{rod }= 0.4032\ kgm^2[/tex]
The initial rotational kinetic energy of the disk and rod;
[tex]K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} I_{disk}\omega _1 ^2 \ \ + \ \ \frac{1}{2} I_{rod}\omega _2 ^2 \\\\K.E_i= \frac{1}{2} (0.305)(17.6) ^2 \ \ + \ \ \frac{1}{2} (0.4032)(-5.12) ^2\\\\K.E_i = 52.523 \ J[/tex]
The final rotational kinetic energy of the disk-rod system is calculated as follows;
[tex]K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} I_{disk}\omega _f ^2 \ \ + \ \ \frac{1}{2} I_{rod}\omega _f ^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} \omega _f ^2(I_{disk} + I_{rod})\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} (6.709) ^2(0.305+ 0.4032)\\\\K.E_f = 15.938 \ J[/tex]
The loss in rotational kinetic energy due to the collision is calculated as follows;
[tex]\Delta K.E = K.E_f \ - \ K.E_i\\\\\Delta K.E = 15.938 J \ - \ 52.523 J\\\\\Delta K.E = - 36.585 \ J[/tex]
Therefore, the loss in rotational kinetic energy due to the collision is 36.585 J.

For a particular scientific experiment, it is important to be completely isolated from any magnetic field, including the earth's field. The earth's field is approximately 50 μT, but at any particular location it may be a bit more or less than this. A 1.00-mm-diameter current loop with 200 turns of wire is adjusted to carry a current of 0.199 A ; at this current, the coil's field at the center is exactly equal to the earth's field in magnitude but opposite in direction, so that the total field at the center of the coil is zero.
Required:
What is the strength of the earth's magnetic field at this location?
Answer:
50000 μT
Explanation:
From the given information:
the diameter of the loop = 1.0 mm = 0.001 m
no of turns (N) = 200
current (I) = 0.199 A
radius = d/2 = 0.001/2
= 5 × 10⁻⁴ m
Recall that;
the magnetic field at the centre of circular wire is:
[tex]= \dfrac{\mu I N}{2R}[/tex]
[tex]= \dfrac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 200 \times0.199}{2\times 5\times 10^{-4}}[/tex]
= 0.05 T
= 50000 μT
Since the centre of the earth's magnetic field is given to be equal to the magnetic field produced by the wire, then:
the earth's magnetic field = 50000 μT

The Bernoulli effect can have important consequences for the design of buildings. For example, wind can blow around a skyscraper at remarkably high speed, creating low pressure. The higher atmospheric pressure in the still air inside the building can cause windows to pop out. This happened with the original design of the John Hancock Building in Boston.
(a) Suppose a horizontal wind blows with a speed of 11.2 m/s outside a large pane of plate glass with dimensions 4.00 m X 1.50 m. Assume the density of air to be constant at 1.20 kg/m3. The air inside the building is at atmospheric pressure. What is the total force exerted by air on the window pane?
(b) What force is experienced by the window pane from air if the airspeed outside is now 22.4m/s The Bernoulli effect can have important consequences for the design of buildings. For example, wind can blow around a skyscraper at remarkably high speed, creating low pressure. The higher atmospheric pressure in the still air inside the building can cause windows to pop out. This happened with the original design of the John Hancock Building in Boston.
Answer:
a. 451.58 N b. 1806.34 N
Explanation:
(a) Suppose a horizontal wind blows with a speed of 11.2 m/s outside a large pane of plate glass with dimensions 4.00 m X 1.50 m. Assume the density of air to be constant at 1.20 kg/m3. The air inside the building is at atmospheric pressure. What is the total force exerted by air on the window pane?
Using Bernoulli's equation
P₁ + 1/2ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂² + ρgh₂ where P₁ = pressure of air in building = atmospheric pressure = 1.013 × 10⁵ N/m², ρ = density of air = 1.20 kg/m³, v₁ = speed of air in building = 0 m/s(since it is still), h₁ = h₂ = h = height of building, P₂ = pressure on the outside of window pane, v₂ = speed of air outside window pane = 11.2m/s and g = acceleration due to gravity
So, since h₁ = h₂ = h
P₁ + 1/2ρv₁² + ρgh = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂² + ρgh
P₁ + 1/2ρv₁² = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂²
Also, v₁ = 0m/s
So, P₁ + 1/2ρ(0 m/s)² = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂²
P₁ + 0 = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂²
P₁ = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂²
P₁ - P₂ = 1/2ρv₂²
So the net pressure on the window is ΔP = P₁ - P₂ = FA where F is the total force on the window pane and A is the area of the window pane = 4.00 m × 1.50 m = 6.00 m²
So, P₁ - P₂ = 1/2ρv₂²
ΔP = 1/2ρv₂²
F/A = 1/2ρv₂²
F = 1/2ρAv₂²
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
F = 1/2ρAv₂²
F = 1/2 × 1.20 kg/m³× 6.00 m² × (11.2 m/s)²
F = 1/2 × 1.20 kg/m³ × 6.00 m² × 125.44 m²/s²
F = 451.584 N
F ≅ 451.58 N
(b) What force is experienced by the window pane from air if the airspeed outside is now 22.4m/s
When v₂ = 22.4 m/s, F is
F = 1/2ρAv₂²
F = 1/2 × 1.20 kg/m³× 6.00 m² × (22.4 m/s)²
F = 1/2 × 1.20 kg/m³ × 6.00 m² × 501.76 m²/s²
F = 1806.336 N
F ≅ 1806.34 N

The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.26 years. If 50 g are left after 15.8 years, how many
grams were in the original sample?
Answer:
400 g
Explanation:
The computation of the number of grams in the original sample is shown below:
Given that
half-life = 5.26 years
total time of decay = 15.8 years
final amount = 50.0 g
Now based on the above information
number of half-lives past is
= 15.8 ÷ 5.26
= 3 half-lives
Now
3 half-lives = 1 ÷ 8 remains = 50.0 g
So, the number of grams would be

= 400 g
Spiral fracture of bone: Spiral fracture of bone occurs due to twisting of the limb, and is a very common skiing accident. The fracture plane is helical, and is very difficult to heal. Mechanically, it occurs due to an applied torsion load on the bone. Recall that a state of pure shear occurs within the material when torsion is applied on a cylinder, and the bone can be idealized as a cylinder. Let a femur bone be subjected to a torque of T 50 N-m. Assume body weight of the person to be W- 80 Kgs, while each leg is subjected to half of that weight. Given radius of the bone r 10 mm. Compute the principal stresses and shear stresses, as well as orientation of planes on which these stresses are realized.
Answer:
principal stresses :б1 = 32.62mPa б2 = 31.38mPa
Max Shear stress : 16.31 mPa
Orientation of max principle plane = 44.43°
Orientation of minimum principal plane = 134.43°
Explanation:
Given data:
Torque = 50 N-m
weight = 80 kgs
half of weight is subjected to each leg
radius of bone = 10 mm = 0.010 m
a) Determine the principal stresses and shear stress
first calculate the max shear stress ( this will occur in the outermost element
= 16T / π*d^3 where : T = 50 , d = 0.020 m
hence max shear stress = 32 mPa
next determine compressive stress
= ( 40*g) / π/4*d^2 . where : d = 0.020 m , g = 9.81
hence compressive stress = 1.24 mPa
draw and calculate the radius of Mohr's circle
radius of Mohr's circle = 32.0060
Hence principal stresses = 32.0060 ± 0.62
б1 = 32.62mPa
б2 = 31.38mPa

Albert and Emmy are looking to purchase some new spaceships. They pick out two identical single-seat space racers and take them out to space for a test drive. After flying around for a while, they decide to do some experiments. As Albert flies past Emmy at a very high but constant velocity, Emmy measures the length of Albert's ship and compares it to the length of her own ship.
Emmy observes that Albert's ship is __________ her own ship.
At the same time, Albert observes Emmy's ship and compares it with his ship.
Albert observes that Emmy's ship is ___________ his own ship.
Answer:
shorter than,
shorter than
1) option B. Emmy observes that Albert's ship is shorter than her own ship.
2) option B. Albert observes that Emmy's ship is shorter than her own ship
Explanation:
Applying the principle of length contraction where the length of a moving object is seen as being contracted (shorter than its real length),the length of the object in the rest frame does not appear to change.
In this case, the space racer in his own ship measures a reduced length of the other ship flying past it at a high but constant speed. Moreover, the space racer in a ship measures the real length of his own ship and not a contracted length.
Therefore, Emmy will observe that Albert's ship is shorter than her own ship while Albert will also observe that Emmy's ship is shorter than his own ship. It is the principle of length contraction that holds
