Changing which quantity will alter the period of an oscillating spring?

the planet (gravity)

none, the period only depends on the spring constant.    

the amplitude

the length

the mass

Waves on a 10 meter rope travel at 20 m/s. You shake the rope back and forth until you get a standing wave with a single antinode. Shaking it faster, you are able to get another standing wave with two antinodes. What is the wavelength and frequency of each standing wave?

1st harmonic:

wavelength =

frequency =

2nd harmonic:

wavelength =

Explanation / Answer

1)
437 Hz
-------------
2)
larger, right-side up  
----------------
3)
wavelength decreases and frequency stays the same
-----------------
4)
fredq - Hz
peroid - sec
index of refraction - no units
wave lenght - meter
-----------------
5)
the mass
----------------
6)
first hormonic
wavelenght L = 10*2 = 20 m
freq = 20/20 = 1 Hz
second hormic
L = 10 m
freq f =20/10 = 2Hz
-----------------
7)
spring constant K = mg/x = 0.10*9.8/0.05 = 19.6 N/m
peroid = 2pi*sqrt(m/k) = 6.28*sqrt(0.1/19.6) = 0.448 sec
freq f = 1/T = 2.229 Hz
-----------------
8)
1*sin 30 = 1.7 sinr
r = 58.2 degrees
velocity = 3x10^8/1.7 =1.76 x10^8 m/s
wavwlenght L =600*1/1.7 = 353 nm
freq = does not change
-------------------
9)
from
1/15 + 1/v = 1/10
v = 30 cm
-------------------
10)
96= 36*c(100-20)
C =0.0333 cal/g.c
b)
96 = 36*1*(T-20)
T = 22.66 C
