In a wave, what do you call the difference from crest to crest or trough to trough

Physics

The correct answer is "wavelength".

In fact, this is exactly the definition of wavelength: in a wave, the wavelength is defined as the distance between two succesive crests or two successive troughs, therefore the correct answer is 
D) wavelength.

The displacement in simple harmonic motion is a maximum when the 1. velocity is a maximum. 2. kinetic energy is a maximum. 3. ve
dlinn [17]

Answer:

3. velocity is zero.

Explanation:

The velocity of a simple harmonic motion is given by

v = \omega\sqrt{A^2-x^2}

Here, <em>ω</em> is the angular velocity, <em>A</em> is the amplitude (or maximum displacement from the equilibrium point) and <em>x</em> is the displacement at any time.

At maximum displacement, <em>x </em>=<em> A</em>.<em> </em>Then

v = \omega\sqrt{A^2-A^2} = 0

Therefore, at maximum displacement, velocity is 0.

Practically, this can be observed in a simple pendulum. As it approaches the maximum displacement, its velocity reduces. It becomes zero at this point and then reverses as the pendulum changes course. Then the velocity begins to increase. It becomes maximum at the equilibrium point but once past that, the velocity begins to reduce as it approaches the other amplitude.

For acceleration,

a = -\omega^2x

It follows that at maximum displacement, the acceleration is a maximum. The negative sign indicates that it is in an opposite direction to the displacement. Both kinetic energy (\frac{1}{2}mv^2) and linear momentum (mv) are proportional to velocity; they are therefore both zero at the maximum displacement.

A test rocket is launched vertically from ground level (y=0), at time t=0.0s. The rocket engine provides constant upward acceler
Luden [163]

From the definition of average velocity,

\bar v=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{49\,\mathrm m}t,

and the fact that constant acceleration means

\bar v=\dfrac{v_f+v_0}2=\dfrac{30\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}}2=15\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

we can solve for the time t:

15\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=\dfrac{49\,\mathrm m}t\implies t=3.3\,\mathrm s

H. The length of the shadow is different in evening and in the day. Justify​
Vinvika [58]

the shadows are exactly the same length in the morning as they are in the evening.

 is so obvious it’s that when the sun is low you get long shadows and when the sun is up in the sky like in the noon the shadow is shorter.
