Answer:
Velocity = 0.309 m/s
Along negative x axis
Explanation:
A pulse moving to the right along the x axis is represented by the wave function
y(x,t) = 2/ (x - 3t)² + 1
At t =0
y(x,0) = 2/ ((x - 3(0))² + 1)
=2 / (x² + 1)
At t = 1
y(x,t) = 2/ ((x - 3(1))² + 1)
= 2 /(( x - 3)² + 1)
At t = 2
y(x,t) = 2/ ((x - 3(2))² + 1)
= 2 /(( x - 6)² + 1)
For the pulse with expression y(x,t) = 4.5²
The Velocity is
V = 2.7 / 8.73
= 0.309 m/s
