SIGNAL SPEED ROPE

 

TRANSVERSE PROGRESSIVE SIGNAL | ROPE

SPEED (VELOCITY)

 

 

Description: Progress of a disturbance. The speed of an impulse depends neither on its amplitude, nor on the form of the disturbance, but on the nature of the medium (environment). A visual with tests on different ropes accompanies the subject.
Measurement of distance traveled and delay Δt.     v = d/Δt

 

Definition: Pulse speed is the "front speed". It's the distance the pulse front travels per unit time.
