Answer:
4. B and D
Explanation:
Two points along a transverse wave (such as the one in the figure) are said to be in phase when:
- the vertical position of the two points is the same
- The oscillation of the wave is going in the same way for both points
Basically, we say that two points are in phase when they are separated by a complete cycle (one complete oscillation) of the wave.
For this wave, we see that point B and C have same displacement, but they are not in phase since in B the oscillation is going down while in C is going up.
Instead, B and D are in phase, because they are separated by one complete cycle: both points have same displacement and the oscillation is going in the same way for both of them.
Answer:
B. 2 meters.
Explanation:
To rotate the capstan a certain amount of torque is required, and if each sailor applies a force 
at a distance 
from the center, then for two sailors the total torque will be
;
therefore, for one sailor to apply the same torque it must be that the torque 
he applies must be equal to the torque that the two sailors applied:
which gives
.
and since 
,
which is choice B.
The water cycle is all about storing water and moving water on, in, and above the Earth. Although the atmosphere may not be a great storehouse of water, it is the superhighway used to move water around the globe. Evaporation and transpiration change liquid water into vapor, which ascends into the atmosphere due to rising air currents. Cooler temperatures aloft allow the vapor to condense into clouds and strong winds move the clouds around the world until the water falls as precipitation to replenish the earthbound parts of the water cycle. About 90 percent of water in the atmosphere is produced by evaporation from water bodies, while the other 10 percent comes from transpiration from plants.
There is always water in the atmosphere. Clouds are, of course, the most visible manifestation of atmospheric water, but even clear air contains water—water in particles that are too small to be seen. One estimate of the volume of water in the atmosphere at any one time is about 3,100 cubic miles (mi3) or 12,900 cubic kilometers (km3). That may sound like a lot, but it is only about 0.001 percent of the total Earth's water volume of about 332,500,000 mi3 (1,385,000,000 km3), If all of the water in the atmosphere rained down at once, it would only cover the globe to a depth of 2.5 centimeters, about 1 inch.
Answer:
Atmospheric pressure is commonly measured with a barometer. In a barometer, a column of mercury in a glass tube rises or falls as the weight of the atmosphere changes. Meteorologists describe the atmospheric pressure by how high the mercury rises.
