Chapter 16, Problem 16.28P
Why is the following situation impossible? An astronaut on the Moon is studying wave motion using the apparatus discussed in Example 16.3 and shown in Figure 16.12. He measures the time interval for pulses to travel along the horizontal wire. Assume the horizontal wire has a mass of 4.00 g and a length of 1.60 m and assume a 3.00-kg object is suspended from its extension around the pulley. The astronaut finds that a pulse requires 26.1 ms to traverse the length of the wire.

Logan, Cassie and Abbey are doing the Pulse Speed Lab. Logan and Cassie stand 6.8 m apart and stretch a zinc-coiled snakey between them. Logan introduces a pulse into the snakey at his end. Using a stopwatch, Abbey measures that it takes 15.1 seconds for the pulse to travel to Cassie's end and back two times. They then repeat the experiment with a copper-coiled snakey stretched the same distance and find that pulses travel back and forth two times in 16.9 seconds.a. Determine the speed of the pulse in the zinc-coiled snakey.b. Determine the speed of the pulse in the copper-coiled snakey.
While hunting for moths to eat, a bat emits a chirp that lasts for 4.80 ms and then is silent while it listens for the echo. If the beginning of the echo returns just after the outgoing chirp is finished, how close to the moth is the bat? The bat is flying toward the moth at a speed of 4.40 m/s and the moth is flying away from the bat at 1.20 m/s. Assume it is a cool night with a temperature of 10.0°C. Speed of sound in air at 0°C is 331 m/s (see table 12.1).
