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

Define longitudinal wave​
Alja [10]

longitudinal wave, wave consisting of a periodic disturbance or vibration that takes place in the same direction as the advance of the wave. ... Sound moving through air also compresses and rarefies the gas in the direction of travel of the sound wave as they vibrate back and forth.

<u>FORMULA</u>

<h2>y(x,t) = y0 \: cos \: (w(t -  \frac{x}{c} ))</h2>

y = displacement of the point on the traveling sound wave

x = distance the point has traveled from the wave's source

y_0 = amplitude of the oscillations

\omega = angular frequency of the wave

t = time elapsed

c = speed of the wave

How is speed represented on a speedometer ? how is acceleration represented?
Marianna [84]
Speed is scalar quantity that is defined only by its magnitude and is represented with one value. 
Velocity on the other side is a vector quantity that is defined with its magnitude and direction. The speedometer measures and displays the speed of the vehicle.
Where the needle points on the speedometer that is the speed of the vehicle. 
The velocity is not explicitly shown, but if f the needle is moving<span>, you can get a rough idea of acceleration. If the needle is going clockwise the vehicle is accelerating.</span>
