A student examined the motion of waves on a Slinky® by oscillating a spring along the floor. The student took a snapshot of the motion as shown below: Refer to the graph shown above. The student oscillates the spring 4 times per second.

What is the velocity of the wave?

Consider a 1000 w iron whose base plate is made of 0.5 cm thick aluminum alloy 2024-t6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 j/kg°c). the base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°c. assuming 90% of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 200°c.
