A vector would be a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
Light gates are more reliable. When using a manual stop watch, it is difficult to stop it at an exact time. A light gate is able to detect when an object passes through a 'gate' with the infrared transmitter and receiver.
Answer:
Amplitude = 0.02m
Frequency = 640 Hz
Wavelength, λ = 0.5m
v = 320 m/s
Explanation:
Given the wave equation :
y=0.02 sin2π/0.5 (320t - x) where x and y are in
meters and t is in second
Comparing the above relation with the general wave equation :
y(x, t) = Asin2π/λ(wt - kx)
The amplitude, A = 0.02
From the equation :
2π/0.5 = 2π/λ
λ = 0.5 m
320t = vt
Hence, v = 320 m/s
Recall :
v = fλ
320 = f * 0.5
f = 320 / 0.5
f = 640 Hz
Silt and other wash can accumulate behind the motor and if other boats are added they can get their hulls damaged or scraped then, depending on the size of the material. It can also cause trailers to get stuck if they drive into the place from where the boat came.
