To design:An experiment to test the formula of speed of a wave on a string; the measurements taken and how to use them to test the formula.

Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Equation for the speed of a wave on a string
Where
To test the formula of speed of wave on a string,
Take a string of known length and weight. Fix the string’s two end rigid supports.
Suspend a
To calculate the speed of wave, length and mass of the string must be known. The length can be measured using a scale and the weight using a balance.
To calculate mass from the measured weight, divide the weight by acceleration of gravity.
In the formula
The tension in the string is
Knowing
Conclusion:
The speed of wave on a string can be calculated if the tension in the string, length and weight of the string is known.

- Mick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?arrow_forwardHi, I have canceled, why did you charge me again?arrow_forwardNo chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forward
