    Determine Speed of Plane Flying Horizontally

    Homework Statement A plane traveling horizontally passes overhead at a height h at t=0. at time t=t1 a sonic boom i heard. b.) Determine the speed of the Plane Ma=1/sin(pheta) pheta=arctan(h/x) Ma=1/sin(arctan h/vt) I think I've done it correct up to this point... Do i have to...

    Unraveling the Physics of Strings: Tension, Velocity & Slope

    Just a couple of Questions: for the wave function y(x,t) = A / (x-vt)^2+b ------> What is the importance of 'b' and what is its meaning? A Uniform Circular Hoop of string of mass m and radius r is rotating in the absence of gravity. Its tangential speed is Vo. Its length is...
