    AP Physics Multiple Choice Concept Question

    I think that 1) is true, because as you increase Tension, velocity should increase since the formula v=(F/(m/L))^(1/2) for the standing waves. However, I don't know whether frequency increases or wavelength as a result, or both... I don't understand this concept very well.

    AP Physics Multiple Choice Concept Question

    A standing wave pattern is created on a guitar string as a person tunes the guitar by changing the tension in the string. Which of the following properties of the waves on the string will change as a result of adjusting only the tension in the string? 1) Speed of the traveling wave that...

    Hard/Tricky Problem on Energy Conservation

    Homework Statement If the car is given an initial speed of 4.0 m/s, what is the largest value that the radius R can have if the car is to remain in contact with the circular tract at all times? See the attached file (named: car.pdf) for the drawing. Homework Equations PE=mgh ----> Formula for...

    Uniform Circular Motion of a motorcycle

    Homework Statement A motorcycle has a constant speed of 25.0 m/s as it passes over the top of a hill whose radius of curvature is 126 m. The mass of the motorcycle and driver is 342 kg. Find the magnitude of (a) the centripetal force and (b) the normal force that acts on the cycle. Homework...

    How Long Will It Take for a Spaceship and Asteroid to Meet?

    Thank you Cepheid for your response. But there is one thing that I don't understand: Can you explain this? In my opinion, the spaceship will come closer to asteroid.

    How Long Will It Take for a Spaceship and Asteroid to Meet?

    Homework Statement At a time when mining asteroids has become feasible, astronauts have connected a line between their 3500 kg space tug and 6200 kg asteroid. Using their ship's engine, they pull on the asteroid with a force of 490 N. Initially the tug and the asteroid are at rest, 450 m apart...

    Calculating Time for an Object to Fall in One Dimension

    Hi. I am new to Physics Forums. The following problem is from Physics 6th Edition by Cutnell/Johnson. A hot air balloon is rising upward with a constant speed of 2.50 m/s. When the balloon is 3.00 m above the ground, the balloonist accidentally drops a compass over the side of the balloon...
