Question

"The wave" is a particular type of pulse that can

Answer 1

Answer:

t = 36π seconds

Explanation:

For resolving this problem, we are going to consider a representative stadium of the United States. The Mercedes-Benz Stadium located in Atlanta, Georgia has an average radius of 90 m.

Then, its circumference measures:

L = 2πr

L = 2π(90)

L = 180π m

First, we estimate the wave's velocity: the average width of an person is 0.5 m, then the velocity is:

v = x/t

                 Where x: person's width

                             t: time

v = 0.5/0.1 = 5 m/s

The time required for the pulse to make one circuit around the stadium is:

t = x/v = 180π/5 = 36π seconds
