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
1 answer:
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

Answer:
v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s
Explanation:
given,
speed of comet(v₁) = 1.6 x 10⁴ m/s
distance (d₁)= 2.7 x 10¹¹ m
to find the speed when he is at distance of(d₂) 4.8 × 10¹⁰ m
v₂ = ?
speed of planet can be determine using conservation of energy
K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂
v₂ = 7.6 x 10⁴ m/s
