Traveling Wave on a String

Traveling Wave on a String#

A traveling wave on a string satisfies D(x,t) = 2.00 cm * cos(25.0 rad/s * t - 10.0 rad/m * x + π rad)

Part 1#

Find the maximum speed that any part of this string moves at, (\(|v\_{y,max}|\)), and the speed that energy moves down this string at, (\(|v_x|\)).

Answer Section#

  • |Vᵧₘₐₓ| = 42, |Vₓ|= 24

  • |Vᵧₘₐₓ| = 0.5, |Vₓ| = 2.5

  • |Vᵧₘₐₓ| = 50.0, |Vₓ|= 2.5

  • |Vᵧₘₐₓ| = 0.24, |Vₓ|= 2.4

  • |Vᵧₘₐₓ| = 0.5, |Vₓ|= 0.08

  • |Vᵧₘₐₓ| = 0.02, |Vₓ|= 2.0
