Question

Part A Constants A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically owing to waves on the surface of the water. I takes 3.40 for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowost, a total distanoo af 0.670 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 6,40 m apart. How fast are the waves traveling? Submit Part B What is the amplitude of each wave? Submit Part C If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.350 m, but the other data remained the same, how fast are the waves traveling? m/s Submit

Explanation / Answer

Please check and let me know if you have any doubt/issue.

Part A -

The speed is given as

velocity = wavelength * frequency

velocity = wavelength * 1 / time period

velocity = 6.40 / 2*3.40

velocity = 0.94117 m/s

Part B -

Amplitude = max disatance / 2

Amplitude = 0.670 / 2

Amplitude = 0.335 m

Part C -

The velocity won't change,

v' = 0.94117 m/s

Part D -

Amplitude = 0.350 / 2

Amplitude = 0.175 m
