Transverse displacement y vs. position x at t = 0 s.
Transverse displacement y vs. position x at t = 0 s.
A transverse wave pulse travels in the \(+x\)-direction along a string stretched under a tension of \(16\text{ N}\). The string has a linear mass density of \(0.25\text{ kg/m}\). The graph shows the transverse displacement \(y\) of the string as a function of position \(x\) at time \(t = 0\text{ s}\). Which of the following pairs correctly identifies the position of the pulse peak at time \(t = 0.050\text{ s}\) and the direction of velocity of the string particle located at \(x = 0.30\text{ m}\) at time \(t = 0\text{ s}\)?
