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 2.60 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.630 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.50 m apart.
A) How much is the wavelength?
B) Find the period of the wave.
C) How fast are the waves traveling?

In which of the following cases is work being done on an object? question 2 options: pulling a trailer up a hill carrying a box down a corridor suspending a heavy weight with a strong chain pushing against a locked door

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.

Avolcano erupts next to a grassland area in a valley. a. describe three ways in which material released by the volcano could impact the grassland area. b. describe three ways in which the grassland ecosystem could recover after a volcanic eruption.
