Question

Ocean waves are hitting a beach with a frequency of 0.100 Hz. Their average wavelength is 15.0 m. What is their average speed?
What is the frequency of a pendulum that is moving at 30 m/s with a wavelength of 0.32 m?

Answer 1

Answer:

Average speed=1.5 m/s

Frequency of pendulum=93.75Hz

Explanation:

We are given

Frequency, $f=0.100Hz$

Average wavelength =$\lambda=15m$

Speed of pendulum, $v=30m/s$

Wavelength, $\lambda'=0.32m$

We have to find the average speed and frequency of pendulum.

We know that

Speed,$v=\lambda f$

Using the formula

Average speed,$v=15\times 0.1=1.5m/s$

Hence, the average speed =1.5m/s

Frequency, $f=\frac{v}{\lambda'}$

Using the formula

$f=\frac{30}{0.32}$

$f=93.75Hz$

Hence, the frequency of a pendulum=93.75Hz
