The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of the wave represented by the equation \[ y = 7 \sin(7\pi t - 0.04\pi x + \frac{\pi}{3}) \] we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the wave equation components The general form of a wave equation is \[ y = A \sin(\omega t - kx + \phi) \] where: - \( A \) is the amplitude, - \( \omega \) is the angular frequency, - \( k \) is the wave number, - \( \phi \) is the phase constant. From the given equation, we can identify: - \( A = 7 \) - \( \omega = 7\pi \) - \( k = 0.04\pi \) - \( \phi = \frac{\pi}{3} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the wave speed The speed of the wave \( v \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ v = \frac{\omega}{k} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values of \( \omega \) and \( k \) Now, substituting the values we identified: \[ v = \frac{7\pi}{0.04\pi} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression The \( \pi \) in the numerator and denominator cancels out: \[ v = \frac{7}{0.04} \] Calculating \( \frac{7}{0.04} \): \[ v = 7 \times \frac{1}{0.04} = 7 \times 25 = 175 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the speed of the wave is \[ v = 175 \, \text{m/s} \] ---
