A string of total mass 3.00×10-2kg is stretched to a length of 4.9m by applying a tension of 14.20N. You flick the end of the string, sending a pulse to the far end. It reflects back to your hand.
PLEASE SHOW WORK, I REALLY WANT TO KNOW HOW TO DO THIS!
A) How fast is the pulse moving?
B) How much time does it take for the pulse to make the round trip (from your hand to the other end and back again)?

A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 21.0 m high, located 130 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 35.0° to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. Find initial speed of the ball. (Assume the ball is hit at a height of 1.00 m above the ground.)Find the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall.

It was shown in Example 21.11 (Section 21.5) in the textbook that the electric field due to an infinite line of charge is perpendicular to the line and has magnitude E=λ/2πϵ0r. Consider an imaginary cylinder with a radius of r = 0.105 m and a length of l = 0.410 m that has an infinite line of positive charge running along its axis. The charge per unit length on the line is λlambda = 5.65 μC/m .
What is the electric flux through the cylinder due to this infinite line of charge?
What is the flux through the cylinder if its radius is increased to r=0.565 m ?
What is the flux through the cylinder if its length is increased to l=0.785 m ?

Imagine an isolated, 10-liter cylinder containing one mole of ideal gas held in the left five liters of the cylinder by a piston, initially locked in place. The right half of the cylinder is evacuated; the entire system is maintained at constant temperature. When the piston is freed to move frictionlessly, we could track the motion of the piston and the volume in 1-liter increments. Calculate the change in entropy (in J mol^-1 K^-1) of the gas upon expansion after each of the five 1-liter increments. Demonstrate that the total entropy is indeed maximized when the expansion is complete. Make a table.
