Step 1
In Figure 1, the peak of the wave is at x = 7.0 m. In Figure b, the peak of the wave is at x = 1.0 m. Therefore, the wave has traveled a distance of 7.0 m - 1.0 m = 6.0 m. Show more…

FIGURE ex21.4a is a snapshot graph at $t=0$ s of two waves approaching each other at $1.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ a. At what time was the snapshot graph in FIGURE 21.4B taken? b. Draw a history graph of the string at $x=5.0 \mathrm{m}$ from $t=0 \mathrm{s}$ to $t=6 \mathrm{s}$ (FIGURE CAN'T COPY)
The figure is a snapshot graph at t = 0s of two waves approaching each other at 1.0 m/s. Draw six snapshot graphs, stacked vertically, showing the string at 1s intervals from t = 1s to t = 6s. (Figure 1)

A wave pulse on a string has the dimensions shown in $\textbf{Fig. E15.31}$ at $t = 0$. The wave speed is 5.0 m/s. (a) If point $O$ is a fixed end, draw the total wave on the string at $t =$ 1.0 ms, 2.0 ms, 3.0 ms, 4.0 ms, 5.0 ms, 6.0 ms, and 7.0 ms. (b) Repeat part (a) for the case in which point $O$ is a free end.
