A wave pulse travels down a slinky. The mass of the slinky is m = 0.89 kg
and is initially stretched to a length L = 7.1 m. The wave pulse has an
amplitude of A = 0.2 m and takes t = 0.426 s to travel down the stretched
length of the slinky. The frequency of the wave pulse is f = 0.48 Hz.
1) What is the speed of the wave pulse?
16.67
m/s Submit
2) What is the tension in the slinky?
34.834
N Submit
3) What is the average speed of a piece of the slinky as a complete wave
pulse passes?
0.384
m/s Submit
4) What is the wavelength of the wave pulse?
