Two children stretch a jump rope between them and send wave pulses back and forth on it. The rope is 2.6 m long, its mass is 0.5 kg, and the force exerted by the children is 44 N. What is the speed of the waves on the rope

15.13 m/s

Explanation:

The wave speed of the stretched rope can be calculated using the following formula

where is the tension on the rope and is the density of the rope per unit length

here we know that ball will drop down by total distance 3.2 m

so here we know that

now using kinematics

now in the same time it will cover horizontal distance of 0.75 m

so speed of the ball will be

i had this question and the answer was 3.15 miles.

martina travels from school to her mom's office. from there, she walks to school. after school, she walks to the library and then to a friends house before finally ending back at home. find martina's total distance traveled.

a) 0 miles  

b) 0.4 miles  

c) 1 mile  

d) 3.15 miles
