For one oscillation of the wave: distance = wavelength (λ), time = period (T). Given that v = d/t derive the wave equation: v = f×λ
his problem on paper before attempting to program it in Octave.Begin with a cube of edge length, x > 20 in. The edge length of the cube shrinks at a rate of r < 0.5 in/s.  Ask the user to specify the original edge length (be sure to communicate that the number must be larger than 20 and units are in inches) Ask the user to choose a shrink rate (be sure to communicate units and range of acceptable values). Ask the user to specify the time elapsed (be sure to communicate units and range of acceptable values). Report back to the user what percent of the original volume remains. Report back to the user what percent of the original surface area remains
A transverse wave with an amplitude of 0.20m and wavelength of 3.0m travels toward the right in a medium with a speed of 4.0m/s. Calculate the period of the wave.[show all work, including the equation and substitution with units].
A string with a 10-gram decoration on the end is attached to the rear-view mirror of your friend’s father’s Ferrari. You’re curious about how fast this fancy sports car can accelerate. You decide to measure the acceleration by measuring the angle that the string makes with the vertical when the car is accelerating. Your friend’s father puts the pedal to the metal. Using a protractor, you measure that the angle the string makes with the vertical is 40 while the car is accelerating. What is the acceleration of the Ferrari? [Hints: Choose the decoration as the system for your force diagram. Use the vertical-component equation of Newton’s second law to find the magnitude of the force that the string exerts on the decoration. Then continue with the horizontal-component equation.]
