Suppose you watch a leaf bobbing up and down as ripples pass it by in a pond. You notice that it does two full up and down bobs
1 answer:
Answer:
The frequency of the ripples is 2Hz, and their period is 0.5 seconds.
Explanation:
Since the ripples on the pond are making the leaf oscillate up and down at a rate of two times per second, we can calculate the period T and the frequency f of the ripples on the pond.
The frequency, by definition, is the number of waves per unit of time. In this case, we have two waves per second, so the frequency is 2s⁻¹, or 2Hz.
The period is the inverse of the frequency, so
Then, the period is equal to 0.5 seconds.

Explanation:
Conceptual analysis:
To solve this problem we consider the following concepts:
1) The projectile in its movement describes a curved line called a parabola, therefore two coordinates are required to fix the position at each instant of time, since the movement is performed in the X-Y plane.
The initial velocity (Vo) is tangent to the trajectory at the initial point and can be broken down into two components, one vertical (Voy) and one horizontal(Vox):
Formula (1)
Formula (2)
Where:
Vo: Initial velocity in m/s
: Initial angle above the horizontal in grades
2) The formula to calculate its velocity at any vertical position(y) is as follows:
Formula (3)
Where:
: Final speed component in vertical direction in m/s
: Initial speed component in vertical direction in m/s
g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s2
3) The formulas to calculate the projectile velocity components at any time (t) are:
Because the movement is uniform in the x direction (constant speed)
Formula (4) Because the movement is uniformly accelerated in the y direction
Known information:
We know the following data:
= 34.5º above the horizontal
Development of the problem:
Initial speed components(Vox, Voy), (Formula (1), Formula (2)
A) Maximum height (h):
When the projectile reaches its maximum height (h) ,the speed component Vy = 0, then, we replace this value in the Formula (3):
D) Speed of the projectile 1.50s after firing
We replace t=1.5 s in the formula(4)
(Speed magnitude)
α = 22.49° (Speed direction above the horizontal)
