You and your surfing buddy are waiting to catch a wave a few hundred meters off the beach. The waves are conveniently sinusoidal

, and you notice that when you're on the top of one wave and moving toward your friend, she is exactly halfway between you and the trough of the wave. 1.50 seconds later, your friend is at the top of the wave. You estimate the horizontal distance between you and your friend at 8.00 m. (a) What is the frequency of the waves?

(a) The frequency of the waves is ¹/₆ Hz ≈ 0.167 Hz

(b) The speed of the waves is 5¹/₃ m/s ≈ 5.33 m/s

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the speed of wave and intensity of wave formula as follows:

\large {\boxed {v = \lambda f}}

<em>f = frequency of wave ( Hz )</em>

<em>v = speed of wave ( m/s )</em>

<em>λ = wavelength ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

\large {\boxed {I = 2 \pi^2 A^2 f^2 \rho v}}

<em>I = intensity of wave ( W/m² )</em>

<em>A = amplitude of wave ( m )</em>

<em>f = frequeny of wave ( Hz )</em>

<em>ρ = density of medium ( kg/m³ )</em>

<em>v = speed of wave ( m/s )</em>

<em>Let's tackle the problem!</em>

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

time taken = t = 1.50 seconds

distance covered = d = 8.00 m

<u>Asked:</u>

(a) frequency of the waves = ?

(b) speed of the waves = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<h3>Question (a):</h3>

t = \frac{1}{4}T

1.50 = \frac{1}{4}T

T = 4 \times 1.50

T = 6 \texttt{ seconds}

\texttt{ }

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{6} \texttt{ Hz}

\texttt{ }

<h3>Question (b):</h3>

d = \frac{1}{4}\lambda

8.00 = \frac{1}{4}\lambda

\lambda = 8.00 \times 4

\lambda = 32 \texttt{ m}

\texttt{ }

v = \lambda f

v = 32 \times \frac{1}{6}

v = 5\frac{1}{3} \texttt{ m/s}

\texttt{ }

A child on a sled slides (starting from rest) down an icy slope that makes an angle of 15◦ with the horizontal. After sliding 20
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A) v₁ = 10.1 m/s t₁= 4.0 s

B) x₂= 17.2 m

C) v₂=7.1 m/s

D) x₂=7.5 m

Explanation:

A)

  • Assuming no friction, total mechanical energy must keep constant, so the following is always true:

       \Delta K + \Delta U = (K_{f} - K_{o}) +( U_{f} - U_{o}) = 0  (1)

  • Choosing the ground level as our zero reference level, Uf =0.
  • Since the child starts from rest, K₀ = 0.
  • From (1), ΔU becomes:
  • \Delta U = 0- m*g*h = -m*g*h (2)  
  • In the same way, ΔK becomes:
  • \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}*m*v_{1}^{2}  (3)      
  • Replacing (2) and (3) in (1), and simplifying, we get:

       \frac{1}{2}*v_{1}^{2}  = g*h  (4)

  • In order to find v₁, we need first to find h, the height of the slide.
  • From the definition of sine of an angle, taking the slide as a right triangle, we can find the height h, knowing the distance that the child slides down the slope, x₁, as follows:

       h = x_{1} * sin \theta_{1} = 20.0 m * sin 15 = 5.2 m (5)

       Replacing (5) in (4) and solving for v₁, we get:

      v_{1} = \sqrt{2*g*h} = \sqrt{2*9.8m/s2*5.2m} = 10.1 m/s  (6)

  • As this speed is achieved when all the energy is kinetic, i.e. at the bottom of the first slide, this is the answer we were looking for.
  • Now, in order to finish A) we need to find the time that the child used to reach to that point, since she started to slide at the its top.
  • We can do this in more than one way, but a very simple one is using kinematic equations.
  • If we assume that the acceleration is constant (which is true due the child is only accelerated by gravity), we can use the following equation:

       v_{1}^{2} - v_{o}^{2} = 2*a* x_{1}  (7)

  • Since v₀ = 0 (the child starts from rest) we can solve for a:

       a = \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{2*x_{1} } = \frac{(10.1m/s)^{2}}{2* 20.0m} = 2.6 m/s2  (8)

  • Since v₀ = 0, applying the definition of acceleration, if we choose t₀=0, we can find t as follows:

       t_{1} =\frac{v_{1} }{a} =\frac{10.1m/s}{2.6m/s2} = 4.0 s  (9)

B)

  • Since we know the initial speed for this part, the acceleration, and the time, we can use the kinematic equation for displacement, as follows:

       x_{2} = v_{1} * t_{2} + \frac{1}{2} *a_{2}*t_{2}^{2}  (10)

  • Replacing the values of v₁ = 10.1 m/s, t₂= 2.0s and a₂=-1.5m/s2 in (10):

       x_{2} = 10.1m/s * 2.0s + \frac{1}{2} *(-1.5m/s2)*(2.0s)^{2}  = 17.2 m (11)

C)  

  • From (6) and (8), applying the definition for acceleration, we can find the speed of the child whem she started up the second slope, as follows:

       v_{2} = v_{1} + a_{2} *t_{2} = 10.1m/s - 1.5m/s2*2.0s = 7.1 m/s (12)

D)

  • Assuming no friction, all the kinetic energy when she started to go up the second slope, becomes gravitational potential energy when she reaches to the maximum height (her speed becomes zero at that point), so we can write the following equation:

       \frac{1}{2}*v_{2}^{2}  = g*h_{2}   (13)

  • Replacing from (12) in (13), we can solve for h₂:

       h_{2} =\frac{v_{2} ^{2}}{2*g} = \frac{(7.1m/s) ^{2}}{2*9.8m/s2} = 2.57 m  (14)

  • Since we know that the slide makes an angle of 20º with the horizontal, we can find the distance traveled up the slope applying the definition of sine of an angle, as follows:

       x_{3} = \frac{h_{2} }{sin 20} = \frac{2.57m}{0.342} = 7.5 m (15)

The electric filed in V/m is 1.58 * 10^6 V/m

<h3>What is the electric field?</h3>

We know that the electric field is obtained as the ratio of the voltage to the distance that separates the plates.

Thus;

E = V/d

E = electric field

V = voltage

d = distance of separation

E = 24 * 10^3 V/1.52 * 10^-2 m

E = 1.58 * 10^6 V/m
