Ocean waves with a wavelength of 40.0 m travel at 5.00 m/s towards a boat at sea. Determine the number of times the boat bobs up and down per minute as a result of encountering the waves.

A transverse, periodic wave travels horizontally down a slinky at a speed of 6.91 m/s.  If the period of oscillation is 8.72s, what is the wavelength of this wave (in meters)

A source emits sound waves isotropically. The intensity of the waves 3.13 m from the source is 1.99 x 104 W/m². Assuming that the energy of the waves is conserved, find the power of the source. Number i Units

Ocean waves are traveling to the east at 4.6 m/s with a distance of 24 m between crests. (a) With what frequency do the waves hit the front of a boat when the boat is at anchor? Hz (b) With what frequency do the waves hit the front of a boat when the boat is moving westward at 1.1 m/s? Hz

A) If the amplitude in a sound wave is tripled, by what factor does the intensity of the wave increase? B) by what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be decreased in order to decrease the intensity by a factor of 3?

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?

*83. ssm mmh Two trucks travel at the same speed. They are far apart on adjacent lanes and approach each other essentially head-on. One driver hears the horn of the other truck at a frequency that is 1.14 times the frequency he hears when the trucks are stationary. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. At what speed is each truck moving?

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.)
