What is the speed (velocity) of a wave on a guitar string with a frequency of 2 Hertz and a wavelength of 2.5 meters?

5m/s

Explanation:

Guitar strings moves like a wave, hence, it possesses a wavelength. Wavelength is the distance between the two wave crests. It is denoted by lambda (λ).

The wavelength of this guitar string in the question can be using the formula: λ = v/f.

Where; λ = wavelength

v = velocity or speed

f = frequency

According to the question,

λ = 2.5meters

f = 2 Hertz

v = ?

To calculate the velocity, we make v (speed) the subject of the formula, λ = v/f

We have; v = λf

We input the values of frequency (2Hz) and wavelength (2.5m) into the formula

We have; v = 2.5 × 2

v= 5

Hence, the velocity or speed of the string is 5m/s.

the endocrine system secretes hormones into blood and other body fluids. these chemicals are important for metabolism, growth, water and mineral balance, and the response to stress. hormones provide feedback to the brain to affect neural processing. reproductive hormones affect the development of the nervous system.
