Answer:
a. one-half as great
Explanation:
The power developed by the first lifter is one-half as great as that of the second person.
Power is defined as the rate at which work is done;
Power =
Since the two lifters do the same work at different time, let us estimate their power;
P₁ = P₂ =
We see that for P₁, power is half of the work done whereas in P₂ power is the same as the work done.
Therefore,
The power of the first weight lifter is one-half the second lifter.
(a) 0.96 m/s
The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:
The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:
The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so
And the wave speed is given by:
(b) 0.265 m
The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is
d = 0.53 m
The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is
(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before
In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,
d = 0.30 m
So the amplitude would be
Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.
