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 3.00 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.700 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.50 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 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, how fast are the waves traveling ?
d. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, what is the amplitude of each wave?

Answer:

a)   v = 0.9167 m / s,  b)  A = 0.350 m,  c)  v = 0.9167 m / s, d)  A = 0.250 m

Explanation:

a) to find the velocity of the wave let us use the relation

          v = λ f

the wavelength is the length that is needed for a complete wave, in this case x = 5.50 m corresponds to a wavelength

           λ = x

           λ = x

the period is the time for the wave to repeat itself, in this case t = 3.00 s corresponds to half a period

          T / 2 = t

           T = 2t

period and frequency are related

           f = 1 / T

           f = 1 / 2t

we substitute

           v = x / 2t

           v = 5.50 / 2 3

           v = 0.9167 m / s

b) the amplitude is the distance from a maximum to zero

          2A = y

           A = y / 2

           A = 0.700 / 2

           A = 0.350 m

c) The horizontal speed of the traveling wave (waves) is independent of the vertical oscillation of the particles, therefore the speed is the same

      v = 0.9167 m / s

d) the amplitude is

           A = 0.500 / 2

           A = 0.250 m

Hanging from a horizontal beam are nine simple pendulums of the following lengths:
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Options d and e

Explanation:

The pendulum which will be set in motion are those which their natural frequency is equal to the frequency of oscillation of the beam.

We can get the length of the pendulums likely to oscillate with the formula;

L =\frac{g}{w^{2} }

where g=9.8m/s

         ω= 2rad/s to 4rad/sec

when ω= 2rad/sec

L= \frac{9.8}{2^{2} }

L = 2.45m

when  ω= 4rad/sec

L=\frac{9.8}{4^{2} }

L = 9.8/16

L=0.6125m

L is between 0.6125m and 2.45m.

This means only pendulum lengths in this range will oscillate.Therefore pendulums with length 0.8m and 1.2m will be strongly set in motion.

Have a great day ahead
