A student makes a transverse wave by shaking a rope tied to a doorknob up and down. Which statement accurately describes the wave in the rope ?

a-Each part of the rope moves in the same direction as the wave.
b-Each part of the rope moves up and down as the wave moves toward the door.
c-Each part of the rope moves up and down as the wave moves around in circles.

d-Each part of the rope moves up and down as the entire wave moves up and down.

c

Explanation:Each part of the rope moves up and down as the wave moves toward the door

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
