Wave Functions
11PRACTICE PROBLEM
In a physics lab, a wave generator produces a wave described by the equation D(x, t) = (0.15)sin(2.5x - 10.0t) where D represents the displacement of the string in meters, x is the distance along the string in meters, and t is the time in seconds. At a specific point x=0.50 m along the string and time t=0.30 seconds after the wave begins, determine the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the string at that location.
