Answer:

To find the amplitude, wavelength, period, and frequency of a sinusoidal wave, write down the wave function in the form y(x,t)=Asin(kx−ωt+ϕ).

The amplitude can be read straight from the equation and is equal to A.

The period of the wave can be derived from the angular frequency (T=2πω).

Answer: The person above me is absolutely correct!

Explanation: The formula for calculating amplitude of a wave is:

x = displacement of wave (meter)

A = amplitude

ω = Angular frequency (rad/s)

t = Time period

ϕ = Phase angle

You are attempting to row across a stream in your rowboat. Your paddling speed relative to still water is 3.0 m/s (i.e., if you

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Please check the attached file for the diagram

Explanation:

The velocity of the of the rowboat $V_{tot}$ through the river is the resultant velocity. It is obtained taking a vector sum of the velocity in still water and the velocity of the river.

There are several ways to take this vector sum, but the question makes it simple for us to use Pythagoras's theorem because the East and North directions are perpendicular to each other.

Hence;

$V_{tot}^2=V_{still}^2+V_{w}^2\\V_{tot}^2=3^2+4^2$

$V_{tot}=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}\\ V_{tot}=\sqrt{25}=5m/s$
