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.

how would the velocity of the book change if the applied force were equal to the sliding friction force

Inessa [10]

Yes, Sliding friction opposes the movement of the book, slowing it down.sliding That's the 'kinetic' kind.. According to Newton's second law, F=ma. That is, the bear's acceleration should be proportional to the total force acting on the bear. As the bear's velocity is constant, its acceleration is zero. Therefore, the total Force acting on the bear is zero. Thus, the friction has to be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the bear's weight. As W=mg, we get that its weight is <span>9.8*400=3,920 Newton. Thus, the friction acting on the bear is 3,920 Newton</span>

A rock is rolling down a hill. At position 1, its velocity is 2.0 m/s. Twelve seconds later, as it passes position 2, its veloci

alukav5142 [94]

As this happens over twelve seconds, you would take the total difference in velocities and divide it by twelve to find the change per second

44.0 m/s - 2.0 m/s = 42.0 m/s

42.0 m/s / 12 s = 3.5 m/s2

the acceleration of the rock would be 3.5 m/s2
