question 1

Ocean waves with a wavelength of 8.8 m and velocity v = 1.20 m/s can be modeled using the equation shown, y(x, t) = (0.68 m) sin (0.714 m-1) (x - vt) . Note that x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. (a) Choose the graph of y(x, t) at t = 0. y (m) y (m) 0.6 0.4 0.2 x (m) 15 -0.2 -0.4 0 0.6 (b) Choose the graph of y(x, t) at t = 2.00 s. y (m) c) How has the wave moved between graph (a) and graph (b)? The wave has traveled 2.00 m to the left. O The wave has traveled 2.40 m to the left. The wave has traveled 2.40 m to the right. O The wave has traveled 2.00 m to the right. Need Help? Read It
