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

THE DOPPLER EFFECT. Anyways, it would have a higher whistle as it approaches you, when it gets to you it only gets quieter because it leaves after. Think of a motorcycle going by, its loud coming to you then as it passes it gets quieter.

1. Calculati greutatea unui sac cu 5 kg de cartofi într-o zonă in care acceleratia gravitatională
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

the weight is 49.1 N

Explanation:

The computation of the weight is shown below:

As we know that

= 5kg of potatoes × gravitational acceleration

= 5kg of potatoes × 9.82 m/s

= 49.1 N

Hence, the weight is 49.1 N

We simply applied the above formula in order to determine the weight
