MasteringPhysics Online Homework help plz.

A transverse wave on a string is given by the formula D (x, t) = 0.20 sin(3.3x -64.0t), where D and x are in m and t is in s. At t = 4.7 times 10^-2 s, what is the transverse displacement of the point on the string where x = 0.54m? Express your answer using two significant figures. D(0.54m, 4.7 times 10^-2 s) = -4.28 times 10^-3 m At t = 4.7 times 10^-2 s, what is the (transverse velocity of the point on the string where x = 0.54m? Indicate the direction of velocity with the sign of you answer. Express your answer using two significant figures. partial differential D/partial differential t (0.54m, 4.7 times 10^-2 s) = -13 m/s.

Explanation / Answer

Par A

D(x,t) = 0.2sin(3.3x - 64t)

at t = 4.7X10-2s, and x = 0.54 m

D(x,t) =  0.2sin(3.3(0.54m) - 64(4.7X10-2s))

or, D(x,t) = -0.188 m

***************************************************************************************************

Part B

D(x,t) = 0.2sin(3.3x - 64t)

velocity is;

v = d[D(x,t) ]/dt = 0.2(-64)cos(3.3x - 64t)

so at t = 4.7X10-2s, and x = 0.54 m

v = 0.2(-64)cos(3.3(0.54m) - 64(4.7X10-2s))

v = -4.33 m/s

P.S. - everything you did was right except you calculated cos and sin using degree. If you had set your calculator to radian your answers would have been abolsutely correct....

This concludes the answers. Check the answer and let me know if it's correct. If you need any more clarification or correction, feel free to ask.....
