Answer:

"The distance between crests is 3 cm."

Explanation:

If he writes down "The distance between crests is 3 cm."

That means he is describing the wavelength of a wave and not longitudinal wave. He ought to write something about " direction "

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or parallel to, the direction of propagation of the wave. While

Wavelength is the distance between the two successfully Crest or trough

Answer: $37^{\circ}$ North of west

Explanation:

Given

40,000-ton luxury line traveling 20 knots towards west and

60,000 ton freighter traveling towards North with 10 knots

suppose v is the common velocity after collision

conserving momentum in west direction

$20\times 40,000=(20,000+60,000)v\cos \theta$

suppose the final velocity makes \theta angle with x axis

$v\cos \theta =10----1$

Conserving Momentum in North direction

$10\times 60,000=80,000\times v\sin\theta$

$v\sin \theta =\frac{15}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}$

$\theta =37^{\circ}$

so search in the area $37^{\circ}$ North of west to find the ship

A substance that accelerates the rate of a chemical reaction is called a(an)

Dahasolnce [82]

A substance that accelerates the rate of chemical reaction is called a catalyst. It serves as an alternative pathway for the reaction product. The increase of rate of chemical reaction is because catalyst has low activiation energy than the original pathway. The low activation energy will increase the amount of molecules that can benefit in the energy created by the catalyst.

Which quantity measures the maximum distance an object on a spring moves from the equilibrium position during oscillation?

nasty-shy [4]

The appropriate response is amplitude. A measure of its change over a solitary period. There are different meanings of plentifulness, which are all elements of the extent of the distinction between the variable's outrageous qualities. In more seasoned writings, the stage is now and again called the adequacy.
