Concept explainers
The description of motion of an unanchored rowboat when a water wave passes. Whether the boat move forward or not.
Answer to Problem 1R
The motion of boat will be up and down and boat will not move forward.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The waves in which the particles moves perpendicular to the propagation of wave is called transverse wave. Water waves are the example of transverse wave.
The unanchored rowboat will move up and down when a water wave passes. The reason behind up and down motion is that the wave particles move perpendicular to the wave propagation. The boat will not move forward.
Conclusion:
Thus, the motion of boat will be up and down and boat will not move forward.
