The amplitude of a wave corresponds to its maximum oscillation of the wave itself.
In our problem, the equation of the wave is
![y(x,t)= (0.750cm)cos(\pi [(0.400cm-1)x+(250s-1)t])](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%28x%2Ct%29%3D%20%280.750cm%29cos%28%5Cpi%20%5B%280.400cm-1%29x%2B%28250s-1%29t%5D%29)
We can see that the maximum value of y(x,t) is reached when the cosine is equal to 1. When this condition occurs,

and therefore this value corresponds to the amplitude of the wave.
For the ball to go straight into the goal, the kicker needs to be no more than 6.54 meters away from the goal.
For the ball to arc into the goal, the kicker needs to be between 58.5 and 65.1 meters away from the goal.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
How long does it take for the ball to reach the goal?
Let the distance between the kicker and the goal be
meters.
Horizontal velocity of the ball will always be
until it lands if there's no air resistance.
The ball will arrive at the goal in
seconds after it leaves the kicker.
What will be the height of the ball when it reaches the goal?
Consider the equation
.
For this soccer ball:
,
,
since the player kicks the ball "from ground level."
when the ball reaches the goal.

In other words,
- For the ball to go straight into the goal, the kicker needs to be no more than 6.54 meters away from the goal.
- For the ball to arc into the goal, the kicker needs to be between 58.5 and 65.1 meters away from the goal.
Answer:
v=5.86 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Length of the string, l = 0.8 m
Maximum tension tolerated by the string, F = 15 N
Mass of the ball, m = 0.35 kg
We need to find the maximum speed the ball can have at the top of the circle. The ball is moving under the action of the centripetal force. The length of the string will be the radius of the circular path. The centripetal force is given by the relation as follows :

v is the maximum speed

Hence, the maximum speed of the ball is 5.86 m/s.
