Assignment task: A transverse wave on a cord is represented by D = 0.22 sin (5.6x + 34t) where D and x are in meters and t is in seconds. Determine the wavelength of this wave, as well as its frequency, the magnitude and direction of its velocity, its amplitude, and the maximum and minimum speeds of the particles of the cord. Sketch the situation, defining all of your variables.
What physics equation(s) will you utilize in order to solve this problem? For each equation you list, give a justification for why it applies to this situation.
Apply your equation(s) to solve the problem as an algebraic expression(s).
Calculate your numerical answer(s). Show the units of your answer(s), and how you got them.
