Ocean waves of wavelength 26 m are moving directly toward a concrete barrier wall at 4.0 m/s . The waves reflect from the wall,

and the incoming and reflected waves overlap to make a lovely standing wave with an antinode at the wall. (Such waves are a common occurrence in certain places.) A kayaker is bobbing up and down with the water at the first antinode out from the wall.
Required:
How far from the wall is she? What is the period of her up-and-down motion?

Answer:

a) the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

wavelength λ = 26 m

velocity v = 4.0 m/s

a) How far from the wall is she?

Now, The first antinode is formed at a distance λ/2 from the wall, since the separation distance between the person and wall is;

x = λ/2

we substitute

x = 26 m / 2

x = 13 m

Therefore, the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) What is the period of her up-and-down motion?

we know that the relationship between frequency, wavelength and wave speed is;

v = fλ

hence, f = v/λ

we also know that frequency is expressed as the reciprocal of the time period;

f = 1/T

Hence

1/T = v/λ

solve for T

Tv = λ

T = λ/v

we substitute

T = 26 m / 4 m/s

T = 6.5 s

Therefore, the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

Compare to a low wavelength sound wave, a high wavelength sound wave Select all that apply Group of answer choices travels slowe
viktelen [127]

Answer:

B. has a smaller frequency

C. travels at the same speed  

Explanation:

The wording of the question is a bit confusing, it should be short/long for wavelength and low/high for frequency. I assume low wavelength mean short wavelength.

All sound wave travel with the same velocity(343m/s) so wavelength doesn't influence its speed at all. It won't be faster or slower, it will have the same speed.

Velocity is a product of wavelength and frequency. So, a long-wavelength sound wave should have a lower frequency.

The option should be:

A. travels slower -->false

B. has a smaller frequency -->true

C. travels at the same speed  --->true

D. has a higher frequency  --->false

E. travels faster has the same frequency  --->false

A sky diver, with parachute unopened, falls 625 m in 15.0 s. Then she opens her parachute and falls another 362 m in 139 s. What
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the motion and total time taken in that motion

here we know that initially the sky diver drops without opening parachute by total displacement 625 m

then she open her parachute and drop another 362 m

so first it took time t = 15 s to drop without open parachute

then it took t = 139 s to drop next displacement

so here total displacement is given as

d = 625 m + 362 m

total time is given as

t = 15 s + 139 s

so average velocity is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{625 + 362}{15 + 139}

v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s
