Answer:
(A) The wavelength of this wave is 
.
(B) The amplitude of this wave is 
.
Explanation:
Refer to the diagram attached. A point on this wave is at a crest or a trough if its distance from the equilibrium position is at a maximum.
The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of each point from the equilibrium position. That's the same as the vertical distance between the crest (or the trough) and the equilibrium position.
- On the diagram, the distance between the two gray dashed lines is the vertical distance between a crest and a trough. According to the question, that distance is
for the wave in this rope. - On the other hand, the distance between either gray dashed line and the black dashed line is the distance between a crest (or a trough) and the equilibrium position. That's the amplitude of this wave.
Therefore, the amplitude of the wave is exactly 
the vertical distance between a crest and a trough. Hence, for the wave in this question,
.
The wavelength of a transverse wave is the same as the minimum (horizontal) distance between two crests or two troughs. That's twice the horizontal distance between a crest and a trough in the same period.

Newton's first law of motion says something like "An object remains
in constant, uniform motion until acted on by an external force".
Constant uniform motion means no change in speed or direction.
If an object changes from rest to motion, that's definitely a change
of speed. So it doesn't remain in the state of constant uniform
motion (none) that it had when it was at rest, and that tells us
that an external force must have acted on it.
Answer:
One of the major obstacles with any wave resource study is lack of long-term ocean wave measurements inside the 100-meter-depth contour, where refraction effects result in spatially inhomogeneous wave parameters. Lack of data makes it difficult or impossible to mark the optimum locations for WECs.
Explanation:
A star's parallax can be used to measure its distance,
but only if the star is close enough to us.
The nearest objects have the greatest parallax. The farther
an object is from us, the smaller its parallax is. Eventually
you reach objects whose parallax is too small to measure.
