Frequency, f, is how many cycles of an oscillation occur per second and is measured in cycles per second or hertz (Hz). The period of a wave, T, is the amount of time it takes a wave to vibrate one full cycle. These two terms are inversely proportional to each other: f = 1/T and T = 1/f.

(a) The magnitude of the wind as it is measured on the boat will be the result of the two vectors. Since they are at 90°, the resultant can be determined by the Pythagorean theorem.
R = sqrt ((20 knots)² + (17 knots)²)
R = sqrt (400 + 289)
R = 26.24 knots
The direction of the wind will have to be angle between the boat and the resultant.
cos θ = (20 knots)/(26.24 knots)
θ = 40.36°
Hence, the direction is 40.36° east of north.
(b) As stated, the wind is blowing in the direction that is to the east. This means that it only has one direction. Parallel to the motion of the boat, the magnitude of the wind velocity will have to be zero.
Answer:
<u>Frequency</u>- number of wave cycles that occur in a given amount of time.
<u>Pitch</u>- number of wavelengths in a given amount of time.
<u>Amplitude</u>- fluctuation or displacement of a wave from its mean value. That means how high or low they are away from the center line.
<u>Volume</u>- The perception of loudness from the intensity of a sound wave. The higher the intensity of a sound, the louder it is perceived in our ears, and the higher volume it has.
<u>Wavelength</u>- the distance between the tops of the "waves".
