Chapter 14, Problem 3CQ
In a classic TV commercial, a group of cats feed from bowls of cat food that are lined up side by side. Initially there is one cat for each bowl. When an additional cat is added to the scene, it runs to a bowl at the end of the line and begins to eat. The cat that was there originally moves to the next bowl, displacing that cat, which moves to the next bowl, and so on down the line. What type of wave have the cats created? Explain.

Waves
Anna, Bob, and Carlos are all in a very large but shallow swimming pool. Carlos is at the center of the pool and
decides to hop up and down, generating outgoing ripples (which you can think of as circularly symmetric 2 dimensional
waves over the surface of the water). Carlos completes one jump every 2 seconds. At Anna’s location, she measures the
amplitude of the waves to be 0.08 m and measures the distance between peaks to be 8 m. At his location, Bob measures
the amplitude as 0.04 m.
a) Determine the wavelength, frequency f, and speed of the ripples.
b) Anna notices that every time the ripples are peaked at her location, there are two more peaks between her and Carlos,
and there is a trough at Carlos’s location. Determine the farthest possible and shortest possible distances between Anna
and Bob. When Anna is at a peak, is Bob at a peak, a trough, or someplace in-between?

- A swimmer in the ocean observes one day that the ocean surface waves are periodic and resemble a sine wave. The swimmer estimates that the vertical distance between the crest and the trough of each wave is approximately 0.45 m, and the distance between each crest is approximately 1.8 m. The swimmer counts that 12 waves pass every two minutes. Determine the simple harmonic wave function that would describes these waves.arrow_forwardA speaker is placed at the opening of a long horizontal tube. The speaker oscillates at a frequency f, creating a sound wave that moves down the tube. The wave moves through the tube at a speed of v=340.00 m/s. The sound wave is modeled with the wave function s(x,t)=smaxcos(kxt+) . At time t=0.00 s , an air molecule at x=3.5 m is at the maximum displacement of 7.00 nm. At the same time, another molecule at x=3.7 m has a displacement of 3.00 nm. What is the frequency at which the speaker is oscillating?arrow_forwardYou are working for a plumber who is laying very long sections of copper pipe for a large building project. He spends a lot of time measuring the lengths of the sections with a measuring tape. You suggest a faster way to measure the length. You know that the speed of a one-dimensional compressional wave traveling along a copper pipe is 3.56 km/s. You suggest that a worker give a sharp hammer blow at one end of the pipe. Using an oscilloscope app on your smartphone, you will measure the time interval t between the arrival of the two sound waves due to the blow: one through the 20.0C air and the other through the pipe. (a) To measure the length, you must derive an equation that relates the length L of the pipe numerically to the time interval t. (b) You measure a time interval of t = 127 ms between the arrivals of the pulses and, from this value, determine the length of the pipe. (c) Your smartphone app claims an accuracy of 1.0% in measuring time intervals. So you calculate by how many centimeters your calculation of the length might be in error.arrow_forward

Give the most detailed description of the wave that you can. Include answers to such questions as the following and give representative values for any quantities that can be evaluated. (a) Does the wave move more toward the right or the left? (b) As it moves away from the source, what happens to its amplitude? (c) Its speed? (d) Its frequency? (e) Its wavelength? (f) Its power? (g) Its intensity?arrow_forwardThe displacement of the air molecules in sound wave is modeled with the wave function s(x,t)=5.00nmcos(91.54m1x3.14104s1t) .

- A wave on a string is driven by a string vibrator, which oscillates at a frequency of 100.00 Hz and an amplitude of 1.00 cm. The string vibrator operates at a voltage of 12.00 V and a current of 0.20 A. The power consumed by the string vibrator is P=IV . Assume that the string vibrator is 90% efficient at converting electrical energy into the energy associated with the vibrations of the string. The string is 3.00 m long, and is under a tension of 60.00 N. What is the linear mass density of the string?arrow_forwardThe wave is a particular type of pulse that can propagate through a large crowd gathered at a sports arena (Fig. P13.54). The elements of the medium are the spectators, with zero position corresponding to their being seated and maximum position corresponding to their standing and raising their arms. When a large fraction of the spectators participates in the wave motion, a somewhat stable pulse shape can develop. The wave speed depends on peoples reaction time, which is typically on the order of 0.1 s. Estimate the order of magnitude, in minutes, of the time interval required for such a pulse to make one circuit around a large sports stadium. State the quantities you measure or estimate and their values.arrow_forwardA copper wire has a radius of 200 µ m and a length of 5.0 m. The wire is placed under a tension of 3000 N and the wire stretches by a small amount. The wire is plucked and a pulse travels down the wire. What is the propagation speed of the pulse? (Assume the temperature does not change: (=8.96gcm3,Y=1.11011Nm) .)arrow_forward
- A yellow submarine traveling horizontally at 11.0 m/s uses sonar with a frequency of 5.27 103 Hz. A red submarine is in front of the yellow submarine and moving 3.00 m/s relative to the water in the same direction. A crewman in the red submarine observes sound waves (pings) from the yellow submarine. Take the speed of sound in seawater as 1 533 m/s. (a) Write Equation 14.12. (b) Which submarine is the source of the sound? (c) Which submarine carries the observer? (d) Does the motion of the observers submarine increase or decrease the time between the pressure maxima of the incoming sound waves? How does that affect the observed period? The observed frequency? (e) Should the sign of v0 be positive or negative? (f) Does the motion of the source submarine increase or decrease the time observed between the pressure maxima? How does this motion affect the observed period? The observed frequency? (g) What sign should be chosen for vs? (h) Substitute the appropriate numbers and obtain the frequency observed by the crewman on the red submarine.arrow_forwardA series of pulses, each of amplitude 0.150 m, are sent down a string that is attached to a post at one end. The pulses are reflected at the post and travel back along the string without loss of amplitude. When two waves are present on the same string, the net displacement of a particular element of the string is the sum of the displacements of the individual waves at that point. What is the net displacement of an element at a point on the string where two pulses are crossing (a) if the string is rigidly attached to the post and (b) if the end at which reflection occurs is free to slide up and down?arrow_forwardConsider what is shown below. A 20.00-kg mass rests on a frictionless ramp inclined at 45° . A string with a linear mass density of =0.025 kg/m is attached to the 20.00-kg mass. The string passes over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass and is attached to a hanging mass (m). The system is in static equilibrium. A wave is induced on the string and travels up the ramp. (a) What is the mass of the hanging mass (m)? (b) At what wave speed does the wave travel up the string?arrow_forward
