Scouts at a camp shake the rope bridge they have just crossed and observe the wave crests to be 9.70 m apart. If they shake the

bridge twice per second, what is the propagation speed of the waves (in m/s)?
Physics

Effectus [21]3 years ago

Answer:

<em> The speed of the wave is 19.4 m/s</em>

Explanation:

The wave's crest to crest distance (the wavelength of this rope's wave) λ= 9.70 m

The bridge is shaken twice, meaning that two wavelengths passed a given point on the rope per sec. The frequency of a wave is the amount of that wave that passes a given point in a second.

this means that the frequency f = 2 Hz

The speed of a wave = fλ = 9.70 x 2 =<em> 19.4 m/s</em>

notka56 [123]

The frequency of the wave will not change. Since the change in medium doesn't affect the source of the waves, the frequency of those waves do not change.

Hope this helps! :)

You look down an old well, cannot see the bottom, and mutter to yourself "Oh well!". In order to estimate the depth of the well,
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Record time,

t_{1}=2.19\ sec

t_{2}=2.30\ sec

t_{3}=2.26\ sec

t_{4}=2.29\ sec

t_{5}=2.27\ sec

We need to find the best estimate of the depth of the well

According to record time,

We can write of the record time

t_{1}=2.19\approx 2.2\ sec

t_{2}=2.30\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{3}=2.26\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{4}=2.29\approx 2.3\ sec

t_{5}=2.27\approx 2.3\ sec

Here, all time is nearest 2.3 sec.

So, we can say that the best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.

Hence, The best estimate of the depth of the well is 2.3 sec.
