Two canoes are 10 m apart on a lake. Each bobs up and down with a period of 4.0 s. when one canoe is at its highest point, the other canoe is at its lowest point. Both canoes are always within a single cycle of the waves determine the speed of the wave.

Two small boats are 10m apart on a lake. Each pops up and down with a period of 4.0 seconds due to wave motion on the surface of water. When one boat is at its highest point, the other boat is its lowest point. Both boats are always within a single cycle of the waves. The speed of the waves is:

A thin uniform bar lies on a frictionless horizonta surface and is free to move in any way on th surface. Its mass is 0.16 kg and length sqrt3 meters. Two particless, each of mass 0.08 kg, are moving on the same surface and towards the bar in a direction perpendicular to the bar, one with a velocity of 10 m/s, and other with 6m/s as shown in fig. The first particle strikes the bar at point A and the other at point B. Points A and B are at a distane of 0.5m from the centre of the bar. The particles strike the bar at the same instant of time and stick to the bar on collision. Calculate the loss of the kinetic energy of the system in the above collision process.

A sinusoidal wave is propagating along a streched string that lies along the x-axis. The displacement of the string as a function of time is graphed in for particles at x-0 and at x=0.0900 m. (a) what is the amplitude of the wave? (b)what is the period of the wave? (c ) you are told that the two points x=0 and x=0.0900 m are within one wavelength of each other. if the wave is moving in the +x-direction, determine the wavelength and the wave speed. (d) if instead the wave is moving in the -x-direction, determine the wavelength and the wave speed. (e) would it be possible to derermine definitely the wavelength in parts (c ) and (d) if you were not told that the two points were within one wavelength of each other? why ot why not?

A series of pulses, each of amplitude 0.150 m , are sent on a string that is attached to a wall at one end. The pulses are reflected at the wall and travel back along the string without loss of amplitude. When two waves are present on the same string. The net displacement of a given point is the sum of the displacement of the individuals waves at the point. What is the net displacement at point on the spring where two pulses am crossing, (a) if the string is rigidly attached to the post? (b) if the end at which reflection occurs is free is slide up and down ?

A copper rod of length 1.0 m is clamped at its middle point. Find the frequencies between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz at which standing longitudinal waves can be set up in the rod. The speed of sound in copper is 3.8 km s^-1 .

A projectile is fired from a gun at an angle of 45^@ with the horizontal and with a speed of 20m//s relative to ground. At the highest point in its flight the projectile explodes into two fragments of equal masses. One fragement, whose initial speed is zero falls vertically. How far from the gun does the other fragment land, assuming a level terrain? Take g=10m//s^2 ?
