A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

e of the water. It takes a time of 2.10 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.600 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.50 m apart.
Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) We know that;

v = λf

Where;

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

v = velocity of the wave

So;

T = 2 * 2.10 s = 4.2 s

Hence f = 1/4.2 s

f = 0.24 Hz

The wavelength =  6.5 m

Hence;

v = 6.5 m * 0.24 Hz

v = 1.56 m/s

b)The amplitude of the wave is;

A =  0.600 m/2 = 0.300 m

c) Since the wave speed does not depend on the amplitude of the wave then the answer in (a) above remains the same

Where d = 0.30 m

A = 0.30 m/2 = 0.15 m

Recall that the spring constant is inversely proportional to the number of coils in the spring, or that shorter springs equate t
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

x_1= 0.0425m

Explanation:

Using the tension in the spring and the force of the tension can by describe by

T = kx

, T = mg

Therefore:

m*g = k*x

With two springs, let, T1 be the tension in each spring,  x1 be the extension of each spring.  The spring constant of each spring is 2k so:

T_1 = 2k*x_1

2T_1 = m*g=4k x_1

Solve to x1

x_1=\frac{m*g}{4k}

x_1=\frac{k*x}{4*k}

x_1=\frac{x}{4}

x_1 = 0.170 / 4

x_1= 0.0425m
