A water-skier is moving at a speed of 10.6 m/s. When she skis in the same direction as a traveling wave, she springs upward every 0.539 s because of the wave crests. When she skis in the direction opposite to that in which the wave moves, she springs upward every 0.427 s in response to the crests. The speed of the skier is greater than the speed of the wave. Determine (a) the speed and (b) the wavelength of the wave. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

You are in a hot-air balloon that, relative to the ground, has a velocity of 5.22 m/s in a direction due east. You see a hawk moving directly away from the balloon in a direction due north. The speed of the hawk relative to you is 1.11 m/s. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of the hawk's velocity relative to the ground? Express the directional angle relative to due east.

(a) In a minor rail yard accident, a runaway goods truck of mass 1.85×104 kg collides at u = 20.0 ms−1 with a stationary truck of mass 2.20×104 kg, as shown in Figure 3. The trucks lock together and travel at the same speed after the collision. Assume friction is negligible. Figure 3 Sketch of the runaway and stationary goods trucks, for use in Question 10. (i) Show that the speed of the trucks after the collision is 9.14 ms−1. (ii) One of the truck wheels can be modelled as a solid disk of radius 4.60×10−1 m and moment of inertia 36.5 kgm2. Calculate the magnitude of the wheel's angular momentum after the collision. (iii) The truck's linear velocity vector is in the positive x-direction using the Cartesian coordinate system shown in Figure 3. What is the direction of the wheel's angular momentum vector? Briefly explain your reasoning. (b) The train driver sounds the train's whistle. The whistle is a pipe that is open at one end and closed at the other, and it has a length of 0.480 m. The speed of sound in air is 343 ms−1. (i) Sketch the standing wave pattern of the air pressure in the whistle for its fundamental resonant frequency. Clearly indicate the open and closed ends of the whistle pipe. (ii) Hence calculate the frequency of the sound made by the whistle's fundamental resonance. (c) An observer standing on a bridge above the train track hears the whistle as the train approaches at a speed of 40.0 ms−1. (i) Show that the whistle frequency perceived by the observer is 13.2% greater than the frequency perceived by the driver. (ii) Describe how the sound of the whistle, as heard by the observer, will change as the train approaches and goes past the bridge.
