Answer:
a.14 s
b.70 s
Explanation:
a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.
Speed of sidewalk relative to ground=
Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s
The speed of women relative to the ground
Distance=35 m
Time=
Using the formula
Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving=
b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)
Then, we take displacement negative.
Speed of sidewalk relative to ground=
Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s
The speed of women relative to the ground=
Time=
Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.
Answer: d. I or II
Explanation: A traveling wave has speed that depends on characteristics of a medium. Characteristics like linear density (μ), which is defined as mass per length.
Tension or Force () is also related to the speed of a moving wave.
The relationship between tension and linear density and speed is ginve by the formula:
So, for the traveling waves generated on a string fixed at both ends described above, ways to increase wave speed would be:
1) Increase Tension and maintaining mass and length constant;
2) Longer string will decrease linear density, which will increase wave speed, due to their inversely proportional relationship;
Then, ways to increase the wave speed is
I. Using the same string but increasing tension
II. Using a longer string with the same μ and T.
