I think I am understanding better because you mention concentric circles the waves will go directly to the person the ground from the horn. Correct me if I am wrong but the total distance the wave traveling in the air is 23.6 m, then the wave touches the water after this distance. I don't...

I drew a diagram. Any did some analysis on this what i observed was the following The wave front traveling from the surface of the water has to move up 1.6m and horizontally 22m to reach the landlubber. So the distance from the wave front touching the water to the person is 23.6m

the distance it has to travel is 22 m since the person on land is is 22 m away.

This is the same problem just with different values. I don't understand what you mean by the traveling wave front. The sound wave is propagating in all directions. The wave travels from the horn to the surface of the water which is 1.6 m and horizonally the same wave front also travels 22m to...

So when I subtract the time t2 which is the time the sound of the horn hits the surface of the water by t1 which the time that the sound of the horn reaches the person on the ground. This can tell me the time the sound travels in the water? I don't understand this portion of the problem its in...

Homework Statement Homework Equations v = d/t Solve for t. t = d/v The Attempt at a Solution In my General Physics 2 course we are doing sound waves I have the answer to the problem which is 90.8m I am trying to understand the concepts of sound wave. So please correct me if I am wrong, 1...

Whats your highest degree earned if you don't mind me asking? Do you enjoy it? Does it pay well? ty

Are you also an undergraduate student in physics field?

Thank you all for your help. This has clarified it bit for me. However I do not understand why the x component is equal to the tension F and why the y component doesn't play a role in that? from what I remember the square root of the x and y components squared gives the magnitude.

Hello everyone I am 23 years old mechanical engineering student getting his associates this year. I am very determined to pursue a career in physics I have basically taken all of my physics courses and pre requisite for the core physics courses so at my senior college I can declare physics as a...

Hello I am having trouble understanding why the horizontal component Fx is equal to the F for a wave on a string I am trying to understand Energy in wave motion. The picture attached is a representation of my problem. My textbook tells me that this is because it is a transverse wave which means...

Thank you for your response and feedback it was very helpful. I've been using mathematica but it requires programming knowledge and its been diffcult for me to understand. I am going to look into MAT LAB now. Is there any program you recommend? I don't have the data of force level but the speed...

Hello, I am undergraduate student doing research and I am studying hurricane Katrina my completed math course is Calculus 3 which is up to Vector calculus. For my research I want study only wind force of the hurricane Katrina and I have a process but I want to know if its valid and what...

When I refer to total work my textbook has a formula and which is W tot = K2-K1. So to be more clear my question is in order to use this formula do we have to consider all the work done in this system by all forces? I ask this because in the example they used W tot = W fric + W spring on glider...

Homework Statement Hello I am solving a problem that requires me to find the max distance of a glider with spring attached to it. I am getting confused on Work total, in an example in my textbook W total is the W friction + W spring on glider = W total. My question is why did the textbook...
