Questions 1. From your data, what factor(s) affect the speed of a wave? Explain your reasoning.

2. The pitch made by a musical instrument is dependent on the frequency of the wave. Frequency is the inverse of period. What impact do you think the frequency of a wave has on the wave speed?

3. What happens to wave speed as it moves from a medium of low density to one of high density? Explain your response with respect to this lab.

4. When a stringed instrument is out of tune, the player with tighten or loosen the string. If the instrument is initially flat, should they tighten or loosen the string? In the context of this experiment, explain your reasoning.

Present Your Findings or Questions

Using data and observations, answer the questions and provide your data tables in the essay box below.

Initial velocity describes how fast an object travels when gravity first applies force on the object. On the other hand, the final velocity is a vector quantity that measures the speed and direction of a moving body after it has reached its maximum acceleration.

Explanation:

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).
