Answer:

a) v = 0.9167 m / s, b) A = 0.350 m, c) v = 0.9167 m / s, d) A = 0.250 m

Explanation:

a) to find the velocity of the wave let us use the relation

v = λ f

the wavelength is the length that is needed for a complete wave, in this case x = 5.50 m corresponds to a wavelength

λ = x

the period is the time for the wave to repeat itself, in this case t = 3.00 s corresponds to half a period

T / 2 = t

T = 2t

period and frequency are related

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 2t

we substitute

v = x / 2t

v = 5.50 / 2 3

v = 0.9167 m / s

b) the amplitude is the distance from a maximum to zero

2A = y

A = y / 2

A = 0.700 / 2

A = 0.350 m

c) The horizontal speed of the traveling wave (waves) is independent of the vertical oscillation of the particles, therefore the speed is the same

v = 0.9167 m / s

d) the amplitude is

A = 0.500 / 2

A = 0.250 m

wo lacrosse players collide in midair. Jeremy has a mass of 120 kg and is moving at a speed of 3 m/s. Hans has a mass of 140 kg

Julli [10]

2.71 m/s fast Hans is moving after the collision.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

Mass of Jeremy is 120 kg ( $M_J$ )

Speed of Jeremy is 3 m/s ( $V_J$ )

Speed of Jeremy after collision is ( $V_{JA}$ ) -2.5 m/s

Mass of Hans is 140 kg ( $M_H$ )

Speed of Hans is -2 m/s ( $V_H$ )

Speed of Hans after collision is ( $V_{HA}$ )

Linear momentum is defined as “mass time’s speed of the vehicle”. Linear momentum before the collision of Jeremy and Hans is

= $=\mathrm{M}_{1} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{J}}+\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{H}} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{H}}$

Substitute the given values,

= 120 × 3 + 140 × (-2)

= 360 + (-280)

= 80 kg m/s

Linear momentum after the collision of Jeremy and Hans is

= $=\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{J}} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{JA}}+\mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{H}} \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{HA}}$

= 120 × (-2.5) + 140 × $V_{HA}$

= -300 + 140 × $V_{HA}$

We know that conservation of liner momentum,

Linear momentum before the collision = Linear momentum after the collision

80 = -300 + 140 × $V_{HA}$

80 + 300 = 140 × $V_{HA}$

380 = 140 × $V_{HA}$

380/140= $V_{HA}$

$V_{HA}$ = 2.71 m/s

2.71 m/s fast Hans is moving after the collision.

A music fan at a swimming pool is listening to a radio on a diving platform. The radio is playing a constant- frequency tone whe

joja [24]

Answer:

The Doppler Effect is given by the following relation;

$f' = \left (\dfrac{v + v_0}{v - v_s} \right) \times f$

Where;

f' = The frequency the observer hears

f = Actual frequency of the wave

v = The velocity of the sound wave

$v_o$ = The velocity of the observer

$v_s$ = The velocity of the source

Where the observer is stationary, we have;

(i) When the source is moving in the direction of the observer

$f' = \left (\dfrac{v }{v - v_s} \right) \times f$

(ii) When the source is receding from the observer, we have;

$f' = \left (\dfrac{v }{v + v_s} \right) \times f$

Therefore;

(a) A person left behind on the platform

For a person left behind on the platform, we have that the radio source is receding, therefore, we have;

$f' = \left (\dfrac{v }{v + v_s} \right) \times f$

(1) Given that (v + $v_s$ ) > v, therefore, v < (v + $v_s$ ), f' < f, the frequency heard by the person left on the platform, f', is smaller (lower) than the frequency produced by the radio

(2) The frequency is not constant as the speed of the source is increasing while it under the acceleration due to gravity

(3) During the fall, the speed of the source continuously increases under the effect of gravitational attraction and therefore the frequency heard by the person on the platform becomes progressively smaller

(b) A person down below floating on a rubber raft

For the the person down below on the rubber raft, the radio source is advancing

Therefore, the radio source is moving towards the person at rest down on the rubber raft, therefore, we have;

$f' = \left (\dfrac{v }{v - v_s} \right) \times f$

(1) Given that (v - $v_s$ ) < v, therefore, f' > f, the frequency heard by the person down below floating on the rubber raft, f', is greater (higher) than the frequency produced by the radio

(2) The frequency is not constant as the speed of the source is increasing while it under the acceleration due to gravity

(3) During the fall, the speed of the source continuously increases under the effect of gravitational attraction and therefore the frequency heard by the person on the platform becomes progressively greater (higher)
