Solution 1

The direction of the velocity of a wave is determined by the sign of the term involving both space (x) and time (t) in the wave equation. In the given equation, y(x, t) = 2.50 cm cos(2,500 rad/s t − 15.0 m−1 x), the term is -15.0 m−1 x. The negative sign indicates that the wave is moving in the posi Knowee AI is a powerful AI-powered study tool designed to help you to solve study problem.
