A stationary boat in the ocean is experiencing waves from a storm. The waves move at 59 km/h and have a wavelength of 145 m . The boat is at the crest of a wave. .How much time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave?

The time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave is 4.46 seconds.

Explanation:

Speed of the wave, v = 59 km/h = 16.38 m/s

Wavelength of the wave,

If f is the frequency of the wave. The frequency of a wave is given by :

The time period of the wave is given by :

We need to find the time elapses until the boat is first at the trough of a wave. So, the time will be half of the time period of the wave.

Hence, this is the required solution.

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
