A buoy, floating in a ripple tank, is at rest when a wave reaches it. The wave has a frequency of 1.25 Hz, and an amplitude of 0.75 m. What is the magnitude of the buoy’s displacement after 2.20 seconds?

Respuesta :

Answer:

   y = -6.57 10⁻³ m

Explanation:

The movement of water is an oscillation in the vertical direction that can be approximated as a simple harmonic movement

           y = A cos (wt)

where the amplitude is A = 0.75 m and the angular velocity is related to the frequency

            w = 2π f

            w = 2π 1.25

            w = 7.85 rad / s

we substitute

            y = 0.75 cos (7.85 t)

we look for the amplitude for a time of t = 2.20 s, remember that the angles are in radians

            y = 0.75 cos (7.85 2.20)

            y = -0.00657 m

            y = -6.57 10⁻³ m

The magnitude of the buoy’s displacement after 2.20 seconds is [tex]\bold { -6.57 10^{-3\ } m}[/tex].

The movement of water is an oscillation in the vertical direction can be calculated by

       [tex]\bold { y = A cos (\omega t)}[/tex]

where,

A - amplitude = 0.75 m

[tex]\bold {\omega}[/tex] -  angular velocity

Relationship between angular velocity and frequency

        [tex]\bold { \omega = 2\pi f}\\\\ \bold { \omega = 2\pi 1.25}\\\\\bold { \omega = 7.85\ rad / s}[/tex]

Now put the values,

    [tex]\bold { y = 0.75 cos (7.85 \times 2.2)}\\\\ \bold {y = -0.00657\ m}\\\\ \bold { y = \bold { -6.57 10^{-3\ } m}}[/tex]

The magnitude of the buoy’s displacement after 2.20 seconds is [tex]\bold { -6.57 10^{-3\ } m}[/tex].
