The back-and-forth movement of electrons is called alternating current. Electrons go back and forth, the direction of their path alternates from one direction to another.

the movement of electrons in one direction is called direct current. The electrons move in a direct, single path without changing directions.

Which word describes the maximum a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Amplitude.

Explanation:

A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.

In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;

I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.

II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.

An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.

Hence, an amplitude is a word that describes the maximum displacement a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes.

On a graph, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform and this simply means that, it's measured vertically.

Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;

x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)

Where;

x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.

A is the amplitude.

ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.

t is the time period measured in seconds.

ϕ is the phase angle.

A sample contains 36 g of a radioactive isotope. How much radioactive isotope remains in the sample after 3 half-lives?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

<u>Option "C":</u> "4.5 g"

Explanation:

N0 = 36 g, Let half-life is T.

t = 3 T, n is number of half lives = t / T = 3

<u>By using the decay law of radioactivity</u>

N / N0 = (1 / 2)^n

where

"N0" be the "initial amount"

"N" be the "amount left"

"n" be the "number of half-lives"

N / 36 = (1/2)^3

N / 36 = 1 / 8

N = 36 / 8 = 4.5 g

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 730 m/h at a heading of 44.3 ◦ . The velo
Goshia [24]

Answer:

So airplane will be 1324.9453 m apart after 2.9 hour

Explanation:

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is  = 83 - 44.3 = 83-44.3=38.7^{\circ}

Distance traveled by first plane = 730×2.9 = 2117 m

And distance traveled by second plane = 590×2.9 = 1711 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 38.7.

Using the law of cosine, d^2 representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

d^2=2117^2 + 1711^2 -2\times (2117)\times (1711)cos(38.7)=1755480.2482

d = 1324.9453 m
