At time t = 0 the point at x = 0 has velocity v0 and displacement y0. The phase constant φ is given by tanφ =:

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The displacement of a string carrying a traveling sinusoidal wave is given by y(x,t)=ymsin(kx - ωt -φ) .

At time t = 0, the point at x = 0 has velocity v₀ and displacement y₀.

The phase constant φ is given by tanφ =:

A) ωv₀ /y₀    

B) ωv₀ y₀  

C) v₀ /ωy₀  

D) y₀ /ωv₀      

E) ωy₀ /v₀

E) ωy₀ /v₀

Explanation:

Given that;

displacement of a wave is; y(x,t) = ym sin (kx - ωt - φ)

we differentiate the given equation with respect to time

d/dt (y(x,t)) = d/dt(ym sin(kx - ωt - φ) )

v(0,0)) = -ym ωcos (k(0) - ω(0) - φ) )

v₀ = -ym ωcos (-φ)   lets leave thisas equ 1

At t = 0, x = 0

the displacement of the wave is

y(0,0) = ym sin (k(0) - ω(0) - φ)

y₀ = ym sin(-φ) let this be equ 2

y₀/v₀ = (ym sin(-φ)) / (-ym ωcos (-φ)) = ( -ym sin(φ)) / (-ym ωcos (φ))

(tanφ)/ω = y₀/v₀

tanφ = y₀ω/v₀

therefore the required value is y₀ω/v₀

option (E).  

i think the answer is a, hope this is right, that would be my best guess.

hi i’m sorry to call us today so we will get back with y’all and we will have to do it haha omg was the day
