Get started for freeAn ant with mass m is standing peacefully on top of a horizontal, stretched
rope. The rope has mass per unit length
A 1.50-m-long rope is stretched between two supports with a tension that makes the speed of transverse waves 62.0 m/s. What are the wavelength and frequency of (a) the fundamental; (b) the second overtone; (c) the fourth harmonic?
In your physics lab, an oscillator is attached to one end of a horizontal
string. The other end of the string passes over a frictionless pulley. You
suspend a mass
A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.53 m. The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced 4.8 m apart. (a) How fast are the waves traveling? (b) What is the amplitude of each wave? (c) If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) change?
By measurement you determine that sound waves are spreading out equally in all
directions from a point source and that the intensity is 0.026 W/m
