It Irregularly Reverses. I got the answer right on the test.
In a transverse wave, the particles are disturbed in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Thus, waves travel through a medium with no net displacement of the distance between two successive particles of wave that are in wavelength.
The initial velocity of the stone is 0 ft/s. Given the initial velocity (Vi), final velocity (Vf), and acceleration due to gravity (g), the distance may be calculated through the equation,
d = ((Vf)² - (Vi)²) / 2g
Substituting the known values,
d = ((96 ft/s)² - 0))/ (2x32.2)
The value of d is 143.10 ft.
