PART a)

By energy conservation we can say

PE_i + KE_i = PE_f + KE_f

mgh_1 + \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 = mgh_2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

divide whole equation by mass "m" and plug in all given data

9.8(1.24) + \frac{1]{2}(1.7)^2  = 9.8(0) + \frac{1}{2}(v)^2

v_f = 5.21 m/s

so gymnast will reach the floor with speed 5.21 m/s

PART b)

Now the gymnast bend her knees by 0.1 m and comes to rest

so here we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 5.21^2 = 2(a)(0.1)

a = 135.97 m/s^2

now the force on the gymnast will be

F = ma

F = 50 \times 135.97 = 6798.5 N

so during landing the force will be 6798.5 N

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s
gulaghasi [49]

(a) 0.96 m/s

The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:

T=2\cdot 2.5 s=5.0 s

The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.20 Hz

The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so

\lambda=4.8 m

And the wave speed is given by:

v=\lambda f=(4.8 m)(0.20 Hz)=0.96 m/s

(b) 0.265 m

The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is

d = 0.53 m

The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.53 m}{2}=0.265 m

(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before

In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,

d = 0.30 m

So the amplitude would be

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.30 m}{2}=0.15 m

Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.
