Wave equation - movement of ring on the string

We put a small ring of mass m on the long (infinite) string. The ring slides without friction. How does the ring move, when we send by a string the sine wave? (I need mathematical equation of moving.) How does the wave scatter on the ring? (I need the amplitude of scattering waves, or reflection coefficient R). I need mathema ...continues

Classical mechanics problems - vectors operations and uniform acceleration

13. A bus travels at an average speed of 90 km/h. On average, how far does the bus travel in 20 min? Is this distance the magnitude of the actual displacement of the bus? Explain. 17. A student runs 30 m east, 40 m north, and 50 m west. (a) The magnitude of the student’s net displacement is (1) between 0 and 20 m, (2) bet ...continues

Relativity

At standard Temperature and pressure sound travels at speed u=330m/s relative to the air through which it propagates. Four students A,B,C and D position themselves as shown if figure 1.20 (see attachment), with A,B,C in a straight line and D vertically above B. A steady wind is blowing with speed 30m/s along the line ABC. If ...continues

Relativity (Conservation of Momentum and COM Reference Frame; Length and Time Contraction)

1. Conservation of Momentum and COM reference frame: Two particles are sliding directly towards each other on a frictionless surface. According to an observer in the laboratory reference frame, a 3.00kg particle moves to the right at 10.00m/s and a 5.00kg particle moves towards the left at 2.00m/s. After the head-on collision, t ...continues
