Answer: the waves travel in an horizontal direction while the strings vibrate in a vertical direction.
H = 280 ft, the height of the flower pot.
g = 32 ft/s²
Neglect air resistance.
Note that 1 ft/s = 15/22 mi/h
The initial vertical velocity is zero.
Let v = the velocity with which the flower pot hits the ground.
Then
v² = 2gh
= 2*(32 ft/s²)*(280 ft)
= 17920 (ft/s)²
v = 133.866 ft/s
Also,
v = (133.866 ft/s)*(15/22 (mi/h)/(ft/s)) = 91.272 mi/h
Answer: 133.9 ft/s or 91.3 mi/h
From the given equation we can deduce what changes will occur if the frequency of the sound is doubled
V= f (λ)
Speed = frequency. Wavelength
When the frequency is doubled, speed will not change. Because speed depends on factors like temperature, air pressure, density of the gas. Since all these factors are unchanged thus speed will remain unchanged
Frequency is the number of waves produced per second. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional .Thus, if the frequency is doubled the wavelength would be halved.
