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 multi-link mechanism in the Variable Compression Turbo Engine _____, thus varying the compression ratio.
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

A. Adjusts how far down the piston travels

Explanation:

This type of engine changes the possition of the piston in order to modify the compression chamber volume and therefore the compression ratio of the engine. The volume of the chamber is proportional to the run of the piston (how far down the piston travels)

This engine is used to achive the optimal compression rate in each individual stage.

A race car is accelerating at 5m/s and then speeds up to a final velocity of 12 m/s if the race car driver finished this let of
noname [10]

Answer:

the acceleration of the car is 1.167 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the race car, u = 5 m/s

final velocity of the race car, v = 12 m/s

time to finish the race, t = 6 s

The acceleration of the car is calculated as;

a = (v - u) / t

a = (12 - 5) / (6)

a = 1.167 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 1.167 m/s²

Shareen finds that when she drives her motorboat upstream she can travelwith a speed of only 8 m/s, while she moves with a speed
ANEK [815]

Let vb be the velocity of the motorboat and let vs be the velocity of the stream.

We know that when she drives upstream the velocity is 8 m/s, in this scenario the velocities point in opposite directions, then we have the equations:

v_b-v_s=8

When she drives downstream the velocites point in the same direction then we have the equation:

v_b+v_s=12

hence we have the system of equations:

\begin{gathered} v_b-v_s=8 \\ v_b+v_s=12 \end{gathered}

Solving the first equation for the velocity of the boat we have:

v_b=8+v_s

Plugging this in the second equation we have:

\begin{gathered} 8+v_s+v_s=12 \\ 2v_s=4 \\ v_s=\frac{4}{2} \\ v_s=2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the velocity of the stream is 2 m/s
