A wave pulse passing on a string with a speed of 40 cm s − 1 in the negative x -direction has its maximum at x = 0 at t = 0. Where will this maximum be located at t = 5 s?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

At x = − 2 m

Speed is 40 cms^-1= 0.4ms^-1

Now,

The wave is travelling in the negative x direction and got started from x=0 at t=0. So the position of maxima at t=5 will be at x=-2m.

A wave pulse passing on a string with a speed of 40 cm s−1 in the negative x-direction has its maximum at x = 0 at t = 0. Where will this maximum be located at t = 5 s?

A wave pulse passing on a string with a speed of 40 cm s⁻¹ in the negative x-direction has its maximum at x = 0 at t = 0. Where will this maximum be located at t = 5 s?
