B Sinusoidal wave function of t and x

Click For Summary
It is possible to characterize a sinusoidal wave in both time and spatial domains, starting with parameters like amplitude, angular velocity, and frequency. The angular velocity can be expressed in terms of frequency, which relates to wave velocity and wavelength. The wave number is defined as 2 pi divided by the wavelength, and the movement along the x-direction is represented by vt. The discussion clarifies that the focus is not on disturbances from equilibrium but rather on the evolution of the sine wave across these domains. The derivation presented is coherent and aligns with the principles of wave mechanics.

TL;DR
Starting from the domain of t, is it possible to express the sinef function under the domain of movement?
Greetings,

is it possible to characterize a sinusoidal wave in the domain of time and then pass into the domain of movement along x direction?
I start with: a is the amplitude of the sine function and ω is the angular velocity. t is the time. I can express the angular velocity in funct. of the frequency n. In turn, n is velocity of the wave valong x divided its wavelength. Now, 2 pi over lambda is the wave number k and vt is the movement along x.
Does my derivation make sense to you?

Are you trying to describe the disturbance ##y## from equilibrium
  • for a single particle located at ##x=X_P## in a medium as time evolves? ##y(X_P,t)##
  • for the shape of a string (made up of a string of particles) at a certain time ##T_0## ? ##y(x,t=T_0)##
  • for the shape of a string (made up of a string of particles) as time evolves? ##y(x,t)##

not exactly a disturbance from equilibrium but rather the description of the sine wave evolution i nthe two domains.
 
Thread 'Why higher speeds need more power if backward force is the same?'
Power = Force v Speed Power of my horse = 104kgx9.81m/s^2 x 0.732m/s = 1HP =746W Force/tension in rope stay the same if horse run at 0.73m/s or at 15m/s, so why then horse need to be more powerfull to pull at higher speed even if backward force at him(rope tension) stay the same? I understand that if I increase weight, it is hrader for horse to pull at higher speed because now is backward force increased, but don't understand why is harder to pull at higher speed if weight(backward force)...
