A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.10 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.700 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.10 m apart. A. How fast are the waves traveling?B. What is the amplitude of each wave? C. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, how fast are the waves traveling? D. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.500 , but the other data remained the same, what is the amplitude of each wave?

a)  v = 2.9 m / s, b) A = 0.350 m, c)    v = 2.9 m / s, d)   A = 1.00 m

Explanation:

The oscillatory motion is described by the expression

          x = A cos (wt + Ф)

the wavelength which is the distance for the wave to repeat and the frequency which is the number of times a wave oscillates per unit of time

a) In this part they ask us for the speed of the wave.

Let's use the relationship between speed, wavelength and frequency

          v = λ f

For the wavelength they indicate that the distance between two crest is 6.1 m

        λ / 2 = 6.10

        λ = 12.20 m

They give us the period of the wave is the time it takes to return to the same point, in this case they give half a period

       A / 2 = 2.10

       A = 4.20 me

        f = 1 / t

        f = ¼, 2

        f = 0.238 Hz

let's calculate

         v = 12.20 0.238

         v = 2.9 m / s

b) the amplitude of the wave, is the distance from zero to some maximum

                 2A = 0.700

                   A = 0.350 m

c) the speed of the wave is not function of the amplitude, so the speed is the same

           v = 2.9 m / s

d) the amplitude is

           2A = 0.50

             A = 1.00 m

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
