Answer:
Compressions
Explanation:
A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the direction of propagation of the wave and the direction of the displacement of the particles of the wave are parallel.
As the wave propagates, the particles do not move, but, oscillate back and forth about their equilibrium position, and there are thus regions of high pressure called compressions and regions of low pressure called rarefactions.
The amplitude is thus the distance between successive compressions.
Answer:
S = 11.025 m
Explanation:
Given,
The time taken by the pebble to hit the water surface is, t = 1.5 s
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
Using the II equations of motion
S = ut + 1/2 gt²
Here u is the initial velocity of the pebble. Since it is free-fall, the initial velocity
u = 0
Therefore, the equation becomes
S = 1/2 gt²
Substituting the given values in the above equation
S = 0.5 x 9.8 x 1.5²
= 11.025 m
Hence, the distance from the edge of the well to the water's surface is, S = 11.025 m
Answer:
B
Explanation:
the amplitude is the distance from the resting point to the crest/trough.
