Answer: D. the distance between the highest points of consecutive waves

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is defined as the <em>distance traveled by a periodic perturbation that propagates through a medium in a given time interval</em>. It is usually represented by $\lambda$ and can be calculated if the frequency of the wave is known, since there is an inverse relationship between both.

In the specific case of a periodic sine wave (which is the way in which a wave is usually represented graphically) the wavelength can be determined as the distance between two consecutive maxima of the disturbance.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

The Voyager and Pioneer flybys of the 1970s and 1980s provided rough sketches of Saturn’s moons. But during its many years in Saturn orbit, Cassini discovered previously unknown moons, solved mysteries about known ones, studied their interactions with the rings and revealed how sharply different the moons are from one another.

The position of an object is given by x = at3 - bt2 + ct,where a = 4.1 m/s3, b = 2.2 m/s2, c = 1.7 m/s, and x and t are in SI un

Elza [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 15 m/s2

Explanation:

Equation x = at3 - bt2 + ct

a = 4.1 m/s3

b = 2.2 m/s2

c = 1.7 m/s

First we find x at t = 4.1 s

x = 4.1(4.1)3 - 2.2(4.1)2 + 1.7(4.1)

x = 4.1(68.921) - 2.2(16.81) + 6.97

x = 282.58 - 36.98 + 6.98

x = 252.58 m

Now we find speed

v = x/t = 252.58/ 4.1 = 61.6 m/s

Finally

acceleration = v/t = 61.6/4.1 = 15 m/s2

What percentage of the net income earned in the United States is generated by corporations?

azamat

<span>The correct answer is C. 60. A more precise answer would be around 70, but this is the closest one we have. As a matter of fact, 50% of the net income is made by only 5% of companies, while the remaining US corporations raise the bar to around 70. These 5% are mostly conglomerates that deal in all areas of business, from food to cosmetics to furniture.</span>

Vector B has components Bx = 6.18 and By = 4.43. Find the magnitude and direction counter clockwise from the positive x-axis.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the magnitude of this resultant vector, which is in Q1, btw, is:

$B_{mag}=\sqrt{6.18^2+4.43^2}$ which gives us, to 3 sig fig's:
