Acontainer ship is traveling westward at a speed of 5 m/s. the waves on the surface of the ocean have a wavelength of 40 m and are traveling eastward at a speed of 16.5 m/s. at what time intervals does the ship encounter the crest of a wave? a. 1.9 b. 2.3 c. 1.4 d. 2.2

(16.5 m/s + 5 m/s) ÷ (40 m) = 0.5375 Hz

1 ÷ 0.5375 Hz = 1.86 s

round up and you get 1.9 s, so the answer would be A.

Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that frequency is velocity or speed divided by wavelength.

Mathematically,       f =

where          v = speed or velocity

                  = wavelength

Therefore, total speed of ship will be (5 + 16.5) m/s = 21.5 m/s. Firstly calculate the frequency as follows.

                       f =

                         =    

                         = 0.537 Hz

Also it is known that frequency is inversely proportional time. Hence calculate the time interval of ship encountering the crest of a wave as follows.

                      f =

 or,               T =

                        =

                        = 1.86 s

                        = 1.9 (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that time intervals at which the ship encounter the crest of a wave is 1.9 s.

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).
