Extreme waves along ocean waters, sometimes referred to as freak waves or rogue waves, are a focus of much research and study among scientists. Several merchant ships reports rogue waves which are estimated to be 25 meters high and 26 meters long. Assuming that these waves travel at speeds of 6.5 m/s, determine the frequency and the period of these waves.

A string is 55.0 cm long and has a mass of 3.00 g. A wave travels at 4.60 m/s along this string. A second string has the same length, but one-fifth the mass of the first. If the two strings are under the same tension, what is the speed of a wave along the second string? m/s

Homework 8, Problem 4:   Suppose an earthquake shakes you with a frequency of 12.5 Hz as it passes and continues on to another city 79.5 km away, which it reaches in 12 s.   What is the wavelength of the earthquake, in meters?  λ = ______

Wind gusts create ripples on the ocean that have a wavelength of 5.00 cm and propagate at 1.90 m/s. What is their frequency?

A person lying on an air mattress in the ocean rises and falls through one complete cycle every five seconds. The crests of the wave causing the motion are 27.4 m apart. Determine (a) the frequency and (b) the speed of the wave. (a) Number (b) Number i Units Units

Tsunamis are fast-moving waves often generated by underwater earthquakes. In the deep ocean, their amplitude is barely noticeable, but upon reaching shore, they can rise up to the astonishing height of a six-story building. One tsunami, generated off the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, had a wavelength of 797 km and traveled a distance of 350 m in 14.39 h. What was the speed (in m/s) of the wave? For reference, the speed of a 747 jetliner is about 457 m/s. No need to include the unit. Write your answer in scientific notation. (1.11e+1)

An earthquake releases two types of traveling seismic waves, called transverse and longitudinal waves. The average speed of the transverse and longitudinal waves in rock are 8.8 km/s and 5.6 km/s respectively. A seismograph records the arrival of the transverse waves 82 s before that of the longitudinal waves. Assuming the waves travel in straight lines, how far away is the center of the earthquake?

A boat produces water waves as it sails along a river. You notice that 10 waves hit the bank in 4.8 seconds. If distance between successive wave crests is 3.8 centimeters, how far would these waves travel in 35 seconds. Express your answer in centimeters to at least 3 significant figures.

The national seismological service is designing a training for new members in which they are asked to calculate the epicentral distance simulating an earthquake of magnitude 8.5 The information provided is as follows: surface waves generally have a frequency of 0.5 Hz and the intensity of the P wave in Mexico City was 2x106 J What is the power of a area of 483 m²? m³s" 4.83× 108 W 4.141 x 10³ W 9.66 × 108 W 9.66× 102 W

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.6 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.53 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 4.8 m apart. How fast are the waves traveling? (Give your answer in m/s.)
