    The Physics of Tension in a Phone Cord

    Keeping(m/L) together, I now got: V^2*(M/L)=T and I get 16.39^2/.0533=5042 and that seems too high. I know I should square v because anything to the 1/2 power = a sq. root...

    The Physics of Tension in a Phone Cord

    I found a similar problem online: A phone cord is 4.20 m long. The cord has a mass of 0.180 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the taut cord. The pulse makes four trips down and back along the cord in 0.745 s. What is the tension in the cord? ___ N Solution...

    How Does the Doppler Effect Change the Sound Frequency of a Passing Airplane?

    I've got another one. An airplane traveling at v = 154 m/s emits a sound of frequency 5.20 kHz. At what frequency does a stationary listener hear the sound during each of the following times? (Use 344 m/s as the speed of sound.) 1) as the plan approaches (kHz) 2) after it passes (kHz)...

    The Physics of Tension in a Phone Cord

    I can't find the equation I used for what's shown above, for some reason. I did find this one online: v = (T/(m/L))^0.5 and when I re-arranged it to find T, I got v^2(m)(L)=T which, when I plugged in the numbers, came out to .0021, which doesn't seem right. I don't know what I'm doing...

    The Physics of Tension in a Phone Cord

    Question: A phone cord is 3.75 m long. The cord has a mass of 0.200 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the taut cord. The pulse makes four trips down and back along the cord in 0.915 s. What is the tension in the cord? Maybe I'm using the wrong formula or my...
