    Nov 27, 2009 · Hello all, I would like to know what is the theory behind the formula of the rms speed, Vrms = root (3rt/M). Thank you

  2. Calculating Wave Speed in a String: Formula and Step-by-Step Guide

    Nov 12, 2007 · I am trying to find the speed of propagation of a transverse wave in a string. Speed = wavelength times frequency. I have the period, .075s, so 1 over T is the frequency. I have the …

  3. What is the Initial Speed Formula for a Ballistic Pendulum?

    Jan 1, 2007 · A formula is derived, leading to the conclusion that the bullet's initial speed can be calculated as approximately 17.75 m/s. The conversation highlights the importance of correctly …

  4. How to calculate critical speed in circular motion? - Physics Forums

    Apr 13, 2012 · In one textbook, it says that the critical speed is the minimum speed at which an object can complete the circular motion. It gives the formula: v = square root of (g*r) However, in another …

  5. Understanding the Physics of Tsunamis

    Jan 12, 2005 · The speed of a tsunami is determined by the equation c = sqrt(G * d), where G is the gravitational constant (9.8 m/sec²) and d is the ocean depth in meters. This relationship arises from …
