Question

We now have two tappers that are tapping the surface of the water together. They are tapping in sync (both are hitting the surface at the same time). A small cork is sitting in the tank at the position of the small brown circle. As the stars continue to tap and the ripples from each star continue to move outward, what will happen to the cork

Answer 1

Answer:

The cork moves up and down.

Explanation:

The cork moves up and down because of the waves produce due to tapping the surface of water. The cork experience movement due to placed on the water surface so when the wave passes through the medium by tapping of water, movement of cork also occur. Cork has high volume and lower mass so it floats on the water surface and experience movement due to waves.
