The vertical displacement of the wave is measured from the ?

Physics

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.

if you poured oil and water into a beaker , which liquid would be on top and which would be on the bottom ? How would the densit
Effectus [21]

Answer:

 oil floats in water due to the fact that it is less dense. since the water is more dense, it is basically heavier, and heavier items always sink, while lighter items float, the same can be said about liquids. denser liquids will sink while less dense items will float.

A 7.0-kilogram cart, A, and a 3.0-kilogram cart, B, are initially held together at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. W
7nadin3 [17]
For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively

(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>
