Hi yall,
Im trying to understand waves and I am wondering why the velocities are negative sometimes and or positive.
I think that the velocities are negative because of the slope of the wave as it is coming down? I just want to completely understand it and am a little confused.
Like the equations i use are x(t)-Acos(wt+(phi)) or v(t)=-Awcos(wt+(phi))
