Answer:

Cannot be determined from the given information

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 24 m/s

Period = 3 seconds

To find the amplitude of the wave;

Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;

x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)

Where;

x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.

A is the amplitude.

ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.

t is the time period measured in seconds.

ϕ is the phase angle.

Hence, the information provided in this exercise isn't sufficient to find the amplitude of the waveform.

However, the given parameters can be used to calculate the frequency and wavelength of the wave.
