Waves on a swimming pool propagate at 0.75 m/s. you splash the water at one end of the pool and observe the wave go to the opposite end, reflect, and return in 30.00 s. how far away is the other end of the pool?

The other end of the pool is 11.25 m far away

Explanation:

Wave: A wave can be defined as a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself.

Velocity of wave (v) = 2x/t Equation 1

making x the subject of the equation,

x = vt/2

Where x = distance, t = time.

Given:v = 0.75 m/s, t = 30 s.

Substituting these values into Equation 1,

x = (0.75×30)/2

x = 11.25 m.

Therefore, The other end of the pool is 11.25 m far away

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
