    What is the Velocity and Acceleration of a Transverse Wave on a Stretched Cord?

    Homework Statement The left-hand end of a long horizontal stretched cord oscillates transversely in SHM with frequency f = 250 Hz and amplitude 2.6 cm. The cord is under a tension of 140 N and has a linear density \mu = 0.12 kg/m. At t = 0, the end of the cord has an upward displacement 1.6...

    How Long Was the Kangaroo in the Air Before Returning to Earth?

    I think I see now. I set the initial height to 2.55 m and used that to determine the time for half of the trip, which was about 0.72 s. Multiply that by two, and the time for the whole trip is 1.44 s. Thanks to both of you for your help!

    How Long Was the Kangaroo in the Air Before Returning to Earth?

    Homework Statement A kangaroo jumps to a vertical height of 2.55 m. How long was it in the air before returning to Earth? Homework Equations v = v(initial) + a*t x = x(initial) + v(initial)*t + 1/2*a*t^2 v^2 = v(initial)^2 + 2*a*(x - x(initial)) The Attempt at a Solution I...
