Andrea asked her brother to take a 6 ft floating raft out of the water near the wave-swept shore. Using this raft as a measuring tool, she estimated that the wavelengths of these particular ocean waves were about 10 ft. How fast are these surface ocean waves if the frequency remains 1 5 Hz

28. a stone is projected at a cliff of height h with an initial speed of 42.0 mls directed at angle θ0 = 60.0° above the horizontal. the stone strikes at a, 5.50 s after launching. find (a) the height h of the cliff, (b) the speed of the stone just before impact at a, and (c) the maximum height h reached above the grou

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?

A1000-kg weather rocket is launched straight up. the rocket motor provides a constant acceleration for 16-s, then the motor stops. the rocket altitude 20-s after launch is 510-m. you can ignore any effects of air resistance. a. what was the rocket’s acceleration during the first 16-s? b. what is the rocket’s speed as it passes through a cloud 5100-m above the ground?
