A transverse wave pulse on a string has the wavefunction phi (x,t) = 0.250 m^3 / 2.00m^2 + [x-(5.00 m/s)t]^2. a) what is the speed of the pulse? b) on the same plot, graph the waveform of the pulse at the instants when t=0s, 1.00s, and 2.00s to show that the pulse is moving toward increasing values of x at the speed you found in part (a). Let the domain of your graph be x= -10.0m to 20.0m. c) what is the maximum value of the disturbance? d) if you change the wavefunction to phi (x,t) = 0.250 m^3/ 2.00 m^2 + [x +(5.00 m/s)t]^2 show with another series of plots of the waveform when t=0 s, 1.00s, and 2s that the pulse is moving toward decreasing values of x. Let the domain of this plot be x= -20.0m to 10.0m.
