Two wave pulses travel in opposite directions on a string and approach each other. The shape of one pulse is inverted with respect to the other

Two wave pulses travel in opposite directions on a string and approach each other. The shape of the one pulse in inverted with respect to the other.

Two identical harmonic pulses travelling in opposite directions in a taut string approach each other. At the instant when they completely overlap, the total energy of the string will be .

(a) Two identical sinusoidal pulses move in opposite directions on a stretched string. Kinetic energy of each pulse is k. At the instant they overlap completely, what is kinetic energy of the resulting pulse? (b) “A string clamped at both ends is vibrating. At the moment the string looks flat, the instantaneous transverse velocity of points along the string, excluding its end-points, must be same everywhere except at nodes.” Is this statement correct?
