Using Waveform Equations The equation for a pulse travelling through a medium is given by D(x,t)=(3.0 m^3)/((x-(2.0 m/s)〖t)〗^2+5.0 m^2 ) Where x and D are in metres and t is in seconds. What is the speed of the pulse, and in which direction is it travelling? What is the displacement of a point of the medium located at x = 0.30 m at t = 1.0 s? What is the maximum displacement of a point as the pulse passes through it? Plot the displacement as a function of time of the point at x = 15.0 m as the pulse passes through it. What is the equation of a pulse that has the same velocity and shape as the above waveform but is inverted relative to it?
