Answer:

4.8 m

Explanation:

A transverse wave is a wave in which the oscillation of the particles occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

The amplitude of a transverse wave is the maximum displacement of the wave with respect to the equilibrium position.

The crest of a wave is the position of maximum displacement on the positive side, while the trough of a wave is the position of maximum displacement on the negative side.

This means that the amplitude of a wave is equal to the distance between a crest (or a trough) and the equilibrium position.

Therefore, we have:

$d=2A$

where:

d is the distance between the top of a crest and the bottom of a trough

A is the amplitude of the wave

Here we have:

A = 2.4 m

So, we find

$d=2\cdot 2.4 = 4.8 m$

Two scales on a nondigital voltmeter measure voltages up to 20.0 and 30.0 V, respectively. The resistance connected in series wi

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Resistance of the circuit is 820 Ω

Explanation:

Given:

Two galvanometer resistance are given along with its voltages.

Let the resistance is "R" and the values of voltages be 'V' and 'V1' along with 'G' and 'G1'.

⇒ $V=20\ \Omega,\ V_1=30\ \Omega$

⇒ $G=1680\ \Omega,\ G_1=2930\ \Omega$

Concept to be used:

Conversion of galvanometer into voltmeter.

Let $G$ be the resistance of the galvanometer and $I_g$ the maximum deflection in the galvanometer.

To measure maximum voltage resistance $R$ is connected in series .

So,

⇒ $V=I_g(R+G)$

We have to find the value of $R$ we know that in series circuit current are same.

For $G=1680$ For $G_1=2930$

⇒ $I_g=\frac{V}{R+G}$ equation (i) ⇒ $I_g=\frac{V_1}{R+G_1}$ equation (ii)

Equating both the above equations:

⇒ $\frac{V}{R+G} = \frac{V_1}{R+G_1}$

⇒ $V(R+ G_1) = V_1 (R+G)$

⇒ $VR+VG_1 = V_1R+V_1G$

⇒ $VR-V_1R = V_1G-VG_1$

⇒ $R(V-V_1) = V_1G-VG_1$

⇒ $R =\frac{V_1G-VG_1}{(V-V_1)}$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $R =\frac{(30\times 1680) - (20\times 2930)}{(20-30)}$

⇒ $R =\frac{(50400 - 58600)}{(-10)}$

⇒ $R=\frac{-8200}{-10}$

⇒ $R=820\ \Omega$

The coil resistance of the circuit is 820 Ω .

Why are red stars cooler than blue stars?

asambeis [7]

OK both stars are burning and as they burn they emit electromagnetic radiation (light) and as we move in the light spectrum red comes before blue, so the star that looks red is cooler because as the temperature decreases the colour decreases

Is it true that the cell theory states that cells are produced by non living cells

sergeinik [125]

The cell theory states that:

1) All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.

2) The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms.

3) Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Your statement is not present, so the answer would be no.
