37. Six transverse waves move through different media. They all have the same frequency, but their amplitudes, A, and wavelengths, A, vary as indicated. Rank these waves, according to their propagation speeds, from largest to smallest. That is, rank the wave that is traveling fastest first, and place the wave moving with the slowest speed last. If two (or more) waves have the same speed, give same the same ranking. Explain the reasoning you used in establishing your rankings.
Wave I: A = 6 units; A = 3 m
Wave II: A = 8 units; A = 2 m
Wave III: A = 4 units; A = 6 m
Wave IV; A = 6 units; A = 6 m
Wave V: A = 8 units; A = 3 m
Wave VI: A = 16 units; A = 2 m

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
