A pulse is defined as y(x,t)=e2.77( 2.00( x2.00m/s ( t ) ) 5.00m)2 . Use a spreadsheet, or other computer program, to plot the pulse as the height of medium y as a function of position x. Plot the pulse at times t=0.00s and t=3.00s on the same graph. Where is the pulse centered at time t=0.00s ? Use your spreadsheet to check your answer.
