A wave is propagated by a point or a particle in a medium that vibrates or oscillates between its mean position and a maximum displacement position.

<u>Amplitude is the maximum displacement from the mean position.</u>

Due to the vibration of the particle, neighbouring particles get disturbed and they also oscillate but some small time (phase) behind.

Along the direction of propagation of the wave, the wave travels a wavelength distance in the same time that is taken by a particle to complete one oscillation.
It is the<u> distance between two successive crests (</u>maximum displacement positions - When a snap shot of wave is taken at one point of time.

Wavelength - the distance from one wave crest or trough to another wave crest or trough. Amplitude - the distance from the median point or "middle" of the wave straight up to a crest (a maximum) or straight down to a trough (or minimum), which is the peak amplitude; or the distance from a trough straight up to a crest, or a crest straight down to a trough, called peak-to-peak amplitude.

A balloon full of air has more _____ than the same balloon with no air in it. A. mass (only) B. inertia (only) C. weight (only)
valina [46]

Answer:

A. Mass(only)

Explanation:

The correct answer is A because if the balloon is filled with air, it's filled with matter. Matter is anything that has space and occupies mass. The air occupies mass in the balloon but that doesn't mean that the balloon is heavier. People confuse themselves with mass and weight saying it means the same thing. Mass, like I said is the amount of matter an object contains whereas weight is how much an object weighs.

Question - Does gum affect a student's performance in school?
Mars2501 [29]

Independent variable: the interdependent variable in this example, could be a number of things but the main one is what type of brand is the gum and what kind is it.

Dependent variable: the dependent variable is what you are trying to find so in this case, you are trying to find does gum affect a student's performance.This is the Dependent variable.

Hope I helped!

A toroidal solenoid has an inner radius of 12.0 cm and an outer radius of 15.0 cm . It carries a current of 1.50 A . Part A How
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The number of turns, N = 1750

Explanation:

It is given that,

The inner radius of a toroid, r = 12 cm

Outer radius, r' = 15 cm

The magnetic field at points within the coils 14 cm from its center is, B=3.75\ mT=3.75\times 10^{-3}\ T

R = 14 cm = 0.14 m

Current, I = 1.5 A

The formula for the magnetic field at some distance from its center is given by :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o NI}{2\pi R}

N=\dfrac{2\pi R B}{\mu_o I}

N=\dfrac{2\pi \times 0.14\times 3.75\times 10^{-3}}{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 1.5}

N = 1750

So, the number of turns must have in a toroidal solenoid is 1750. Hence, this is the required solution.
