A surfer estimates that the waves at a particular beach have an average height of 2.3 m, measured peak to trough. She also estimates that a buoy moves up and down at a rate of two cycles in 8 s. Using her estimates, find the total distance traveled in 12 s by a seagull riding the waves.
A geologist uses a simple pendulum that has a length of 29 cm and a frequency of 0.841 Hz at a particular location on the Earth. What is the acceleration in m/s2 of gravity at this location?
On December 26, 2004, a violent earthquake of magnitude 9.1 occurred off the coast of Sumatra. This quake triggered a huge tsunami (similar to a tidal wave) that killed more than 150,000 people. Scientists observing the wave on the open ocean measured the time between crests to be 1.0 h and the speed of the wave to be 800 km>h. Computer models of the evolution of this enormous wave showed that it bent around the continents and spread to all the oceans of the earth. When the wave reached the gaps between continents, it diffracted between them as through a slit. (a) What was the wavelength of this tsunami? (b) The distance between the southern tip of Africa and northern Antarctica is about 4500 km, while the distance between the southern end of Australia and Antarctica is about 3700 km. As an approximation, we can model this wave’s behavior by using Fraunhofer diffraction. Find the smallest angle away from the central maximum for which the waves would cancel after going through each…
