Question

this model shows the transverse wave maya creates in one battle rope. maya is 5 feet, 5 inches tall.
complete the sentences.
the best estimate of the waves wavelength is 5 feet. the best estimate of the waves amplitude is
1 foot
5 feet
15 feet
50 feet

Explanation:

Step1: Relate amplitude to Maya's height

Maya's height is 5 ft 5 in ≈ 5.42 ft. The amplitude is the vertical distance from the midline to a peak, which is about 1/5 of her height.

Step2: Calculate estimated amplitude

$\text{Amplitude} \approx \frac{5.42}{5} \approx 1$ foot

Answer:

1 foot
