Answer:
Speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s.
Explanation:
It is given that, tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second.
We know that the number of waves per second is called the frequency of a wave.
So, f = 17.5 Hz
Wavelength of each wave,
Speed of the wave is given by :
v = 7.87 m/s
So, the speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
Newtons law of motion for every action there’s an equal and opposite reaction.
Potential Energy (Initial one) = m * g * h
P.E. = 60 * 9.8 * 10
P.E. = 5880
Kinetic Energy (Final One) = 1/2 mv²
K.E. = 1/2 * 60 * (10)²
K.E. = 6000/2
K.E. = 3000
Lost Energy = 5880 - 3000 = 2880 J
In short, Your Answer would be 2880 Joules
Hope this helps!
