Answer:

The top of the mountian is colder

Explanation:

As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is this lower pressure at higher altitudes that causes the temperature to be colder on top of a mountain than at sea level.

Differentiate between Amplitude, wavelength and frequency in a Transverse wave.

s2008m [1.1K]

Two physical characteristics of a wave are amplitude and wavelength. The amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave as measured from the highest point on the wave (peak or crest) to the lowest point on the wave (trough). Wavelength refers to the length of a wave from one peak to the next.

[URGENT] A swimmer wants to end up at a dock due north of her starting position on the south shore of a river. In still water he

Stells [14]

Explanation:

As you can see in the picture, we want the swimmer to go on a straight line, so the speed of the water must be equal to the speed of the swimmer along the x-axis. We also know the value of v, so we can calculate the of the cosine of the angle (alpha) between Vx and V. Thanks to the fundamental relation of gioniometry (cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1) we can find the sine of alpha and calculate Vy. With Vy we can calculate the time that the swimmer will use for reaching the dock: s = Vy * t => t = s/(Vy).

I'll let you do all the calculations, you just have to plug in values.
