Two waves traveling in opposite directions on a stretched rope interfere to give the standing wave described by the following wave function: y(x,t) = 4 sin⁡(2πx) cos⁡(120πt), where, y is in centimetres, x is in meters, and t is in seconds. The rope is two meters long, L = 2 m, and is fixed at both ends. In terms of the oscillation period, T, at which of the following times would all elements on the string have a zero vertical...

Finding the Spring Constant We can describe an oscillating mass in terms of its position, velocity, and acceleration as a function of time. We can also describe the system from an energy perspective. In this experiment, you will measure the position and velocity as a function of time for an oscillating mass and spring system, and from those data, plot the kinetic and potential energies of the system. Energy is present in three forms for the mass and spring system....
