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 2.30 ss for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.650 mm. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.10 mm apart.
(a) How much is the wavelength? Express your answer using three significant figures.
(b) Find the period of the wave. Express your answer using three significant figures.
(c) How fast are the waves traveling? Express the speed v in meters per second using three significant figures.
(d) What is the amplitude A of each wave? Express your answer in meters using three significant figures.

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to.in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?

During the experiment if you could triple the breakaway magnetic force with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new value for the critical velocity if it was v0 (initial velocity), initially? (b) now if you halved the radius with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new critical velocity if it was v0 (initial velocity), initially? (c) if during the experiment, critical velocity quadrupled with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new breakaway force if its magnitude was initially f0,?
