Chapter 16, Problem 54AP

(a)

To determine

The physical quantity that can be consideredas constant in the motion of any one wave crest.

(b)

To determine

The reason why the amplitude of the wave increases as the wave approaches shore.

(c)

To determine

The amplitude of the wave at 9.00m water depth.

(d)

To determine

The reason whythe amplitude at the shore should be expected to be still greater, but cannot be meaningfully predicted by your model.

2.62 Collision. The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0 m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200 m ahead on the same track (Fig. P2.62). The freight train is traveling at 15.0 m/s in the same direction as the passenger train. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes, causing a constant acceleration of 0.100 m/s² in a direction opposite to the train's velocity, while the freight train continues with constant speed. Take x = 0 at the location of the front of the passenger train when the engineer applies the brakes. (a) Will the cows nearby witness a collision? (b) If so, where will it take place? (c) On a single graph, sketch the positions of the front of the pas- senger train and the back of the freight train.
Can I get help with how to calculate total displacement? The answer is 78.3x-4.8y
2.70 Egg Drop. You are on the Figure P2.70 roof of the physics building, 46.0 m above the ground (Fig. P2.70). Your physics professor, who is 1.80 m tall, is walking alongside the building at a constant speed of 1.20 m/s. If you wish to drop an egg on your profes- sor's head, where should the profes- sor be when you release the egg? Assume that the egg is in free fall. 2.71 CALC The acceleration of a particle is given by ax(t) = -2.00 m/s² +(3.00 m/s³)t. (a) Find the initial velocity Vox such that v = 1.20 m/s 1.80 m 46.0 m
