5. A person fishing from a pier observes that four wave crests pass by in 7.0 s and estimates that the distance between two succ
essive crests is 4.0 m. The timing starts with the first crest and ends with the fourth. What is the speed of the wave? BBoldIItalicsUUnderlineBulleted listNumbered listSuperscriptSubscript

Answer:
v= 1.71 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
Distance between two successive crests = 4.0 m
λ = 4 m
T= 7 sec
T is the time between 3 waves.
3 waves = 7 sec
1 wave = 7 /3 sec
So t= 7/3 s
We know that frequency f
f= 1/t= 3/7 Hz
Lets take speed of the wave is v
v= f λ
f=frequency
λ=wavelength
v= 3/7 x 4 = 12 /7
v= 1.71 m/s

Mass of two bumper cars, m₁ = m₂ = 125 kg
Initial speed of car X is, u₁ = 10 m/s
Initial speed of car Z is, u₂ = -12 m/s
Final speed of car Z, v₂ = 10 m/s
We need to find the final speed of car X after the collision. Let v₁ is its final speed. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as follows :
v₁ is the final speed of car X.
So, car X will move with a velocity of -12 m/s.
