The vertical displacement of the wave is measured from the ?

Physics
1 answer:
sergey [27]3 years ago

The whole question is talking about the amplitude of a wave
that's transverse and wiggling vertically.

Equilibrium to the crest . . . that's the amplitude.

Crest to trough . . . that's double the amplitude.

Trough to trough . . . How did that get in here ?  Yes, that's
                               the wavelength, but it has nothing to do
                               with vertical displacement.

Frequency . . . that's how many complete waves pass a mark
                       on the ground every second.  Doesn't belong here.

Notice that this has to be a transverse wave.  If it's a longitudinal wave,
like sound or a slinky, then it may not have any displacement at all
across the direction it's moving.

It also has to be a vertically 'polarized' wave.  If it's wiggling across
the direction it's traveling BUT it's wiggling side-to-side, then it has
no vertical displacement.  It still has an amplitude, but the amplitude
is all horizontal.

How would the attractive force between two spheres change if the mass of one sphere was doubled?
Dominik [7]
The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.

Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.

player kicks a soccer ball from ground level and sends it flying at an angle of 30 degrees at a speed of 26 m/s. What is the hor
seropon [69]

Answer

22.5 m/s

Explanation

We shall use the trigonometric ratio cosine to find the horizontal component.

cos = adjacent/hypotenuse

Adjacent is the horizontal and hypotenuse is the fly speed.

cos 30° = horizontal / 26

horizontal velocity = 26 × cos 30°

                                = 26 × 0.866

                                = 22.5166

                                 = 22.5 m/s

What happens to the coefficient of friction when the weight is increased? Why is this?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Usually the coefficient of friction remains unchanged

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, friction is increased when normal force is increased.

Plus, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force.

How does the search for exoplanets help us describe how science requires creativity?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

As the planets are very small and dark in comparison with stars, it makes them very hard to be found from earth.

Explanation:

Astronomy, of course, has a solution for this. As astronomers can't observe planets directly, they decided to observe the stars and search for the effects that planets have on them.

There are many ways of observing the exoplanets: Radial Velocity, Transit Photometry, Microlensing, Astrometry, Direct Imaging, etc.

Before all of this, scientist had to find ways to prove their theories. Most of their time they have spent in giving the creative answers.

Science and creativity are very much connected when we speak about the development of science. Rationality and creativity always go together.

In order to create an idea that other people will consider useful, it is important to use creativity. As no one has the exact answer when it comes to science, the adventure is to research the unknown.
