Answer:

1.67m

5m/s

Explanation:

Wavelength of the wave = 3m

Speed of the wave = 5m/s

The distance between crest and the adjacent trough of water waves is known as the wavelength of a wave.

To find the frequency ;

V = f∧

V is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

Insert the parameters and find the frequency;

f = V/ ∧ = 5 / 3 = 1.67Hz

The rate at which the wave passed a given point is the speed of the wave and it is 5m/s

Ann (mass 50 kg) is standing at the left end of a 15-m-long, 500 kg cart that has frictionless wheels and rolls on a frictionles

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

13.5 m

Explanation:

M = Mass of cart = 500 kg

m = Ann's mass = 50 kg

$v_m$ = Velocity of Ann relative to cart = 5 m/s

$v_M$ = Velocity of Cart relative to Ann

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

$Mv_M+mv_m=0\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{mv_m}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-\frac{50\times 5}{500}\\\Rightarrow v_M=-0.5\ m/s$

Time taken to reach the right end by Ann

$Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\frac{15}{5}=3\ s$

Distance the cart will move in the 3 seconds

$Distance=Speed\times Time\\\Rightarrow Distance=-0.5\times 3=-1.5\ m$

The negative sign indicates opposite direction

Movement of Ann will be the sum of the distances

$15+(-1.5)=13.5\ m$

The net movement of Ann is 13.5 m
