1. A string of length 48.0 cLm= is fixed at both ends. It oscillates in a four-loop standing
wave pattern (the 4th harmonic) at a frequency 4 360. fHz= . The tension on the
string is 120.0 Nτ = .
a. What are the wavelengths of the first four harmonics for this string, 1 2 3 4 , , , λ λ λ λ ?
b. What is the wave speed, v, on the string?
c. What is the mass of this string, m?
d. What frequency, 1f, is needed to excite the first harmonic?
e. For a 4n= standing wave on this string, what is the maximum transverse velocity,
( ( , ))Maxuxt , at one of the anti-nodes if one of the two traveling waves that make up
the standing wave has an amplitude 1.25mymm= ?
f. For a 4n= standing wave on this string, what is the maximum transverse acceleration,
( ( , ))tMaxaxt , at one of the anti-nodes if one of the two traveling waves that make up
the standing wave has an amplitude 1.25mymm= ?
g. Sketch the envelope of oscillations for the 1st through 4th harmonics (the shape of the
wave function when cos( ) 1tω = and when cos( ) 1tω = − ) and label the nodes (with
the letter N) and antinodes (with the letter A) on your sketch. Also label the x and y
axes and the points 0x= and xL= on the x axis.

Please adhere to the directions below:

Informative Outline and Critique sample.docx Informative Critique & Outline
Due: 3/3 by 11:59pm
Goal: Identify and outline informative speaking strategies discussed in class. Look for a clear and thorough introduction, well-supported body and effective conclusion.
Directions: Search for an informative speech either a process/how to, or expository on YouTube or similar application. It should be 20 minutes or less. You will closely analyze the speech to see if you can identify each of the elements necessary for thorough organization. You will fill out the outline template as these elements become clear. The outline template is in the outline resources section of course modules in Canvas. You will also write a very brief synopsis of the speaker’s overall delivery and discuss whether you would have presented this speech any differently.
Ie: If the speaker were to begin her speech with, “There is currently a 700% increase in COVID cases in LA county according to NBC news.” You would write (type) the hook/attention grabber in the area of the outline template that says, “attention grabber.” If the speaker fails to include a necessary component of the speech; fill in that area of the outline with not applicable. I want to know that you recognize it is a missing but necessary component.
(100 points) Answer the following questions:
Fill out the outline template (called outline worksheet in Canvas Boot Camp Module)
(20) Intro:
Hook/attn getter?
Thesis?
Credibility statement/speaker’s connection to the topic:
Preview of main points?
(20) Body: (fill out the body)
Fill out each main point and sub point
(20) Conclusion:
Did the speaker summarize?
Did the speaker add a memorable component?
At the end of your outline answer the following questions:
(20) Delivery synopsis:
Did the speaker appear confident?
Did the speaker elicit your desire to learn? If so, how? If not, why?
Cite your video accurately in either MLA or APA
(20) Reflect:
Would you have done something differently to enhance this speech? If so, what?
Analyze the efficacy of the speech. A critique is not a mere summary of what the speaker said, you will analyze why and how they said and to what effect rather than focus on the whats. Make sure that the speech you choose is in fact a speech and not a tutorial; the speaker should be clearly visible 90% or more of the time.

The story of Kisa Guatami is a well-known Buddhist tale.
You can read the story here: http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/buddhism/bs-s03a.htm
Do you think that the overcoming of grief is related to accepting the fact of death, as this story suggests? Does this story shed any light on Hamlet, given that the play is connected to Shakespeare’s personal grief over the death of his child? Formulate your response in a crafted piece around 400 words long, and post to the discussion board.

In Chapter 2 (Intercultural Communication), we learned about how one’s cultural experiences can affect communication with others. Please post about one instance where a word or phrase was used that related to your culture, age, power, religion, or gender. You may also choose to write about an occasion where you witnessed someone use inappropriate comments and describe the context of the conversation.
Explain how the word or phrase related to the concepts addressed in the textbook and describe whether you think the speaker was purposely relaying cultural stereotypes or if that person felt the comment was innocent (or even flattering), and describe how you reacted to the situation.
