Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Distance is described with only magnitude. It is defined as the total path covered by an object, in other words it  is the length of a path followed by a particle.

Displacement is described with both magnitude and direction. It is distance traveled in a specified direction or  change in position in some time interval.

Therefore, the correct option is " a. True"

OLga [1]

Answer:

<h2>15m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The equation for a traveling wave as expressed as y(x, t) = A cos(kx − \omegat) where An is the amplitude f oscillation, \omega is the angular velocity and x is the horizontal displacement and y is the vertical displacement.

From the formula; k =\frac{2\pi x}{\lambda} \ and \ \omega = 2 \pi f where;

\lambda \ is\ the \ wavelength \ and\ f \ is\ the\ frequency

Before we can get the transverse speed, we need to get the frequency and the wavelength.

frequency = 1/period

Given period = 2/15 s

Frequency = \frac{1}{(2/15)}

frequency = 1 * 15/2

frequency f = 15/2 Hertz

Given wavelength \lambda = 2m

Transverse speed v = f \lambda

v = 15/2 * 2\\\\v = 30/2\\\\v = 15m/s

Hence, the transverse speed at that point is  15m/s
