I'm not sure if a figure or some choices go along with this, but the closer to the sea floor the diver is, the lower the potential energy
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Period = 1/17 seconds
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Wavelength is related to period by the expression:
<em>speed = wavelength / period
</em>
- If we are given the speed, then we can easily calculate the period at the wavelength of 20 m.
<em>Given the speed of sound wave as 340 m/s </em>
<em>Period = Wavelength/ speed</em>
<em> = 20 m/340 m/s</em>
<em> </em><u><em>= 1/17 seconds</em></u>
No, they have different definitions
The Action Force of this scenario is the pushing force of the Diver. The Reaction Force is the raft pushing back on the diver.
The Third Law of Motion states that "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." Now when the diver dives off the raft, the raft is also pushing the same amount of force as the diver did as he dives off. The diver will then move forward and the raft on the other hand will move backwards.
The movement of the raft shows the opposite force. It will move backwards depending on how strong the diver will push off on the raft. And the amount of force he pushes on it, the raft will exert the same force so the stronger the force of the diver, the farther he will go because the raft will push him in that same direction as it goes backwards.
