Answer:
Amplitude.
Explanation:
A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.
In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;
I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.
II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.
An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.
Hence, an amplitude is a word that describes the maximum displacement a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes.
On a graph, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform and this simply means that, it's measured vertically.
Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;
x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)
Where;
x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.
A is the amplitude.
ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.
t is the time period measured in seconds.
ϕ is the phase angle.
When your head sticks out of the water the upthrust reduces as your head is no longer displacing water, and there is 0 resultant force so you float at that level. hope this helps, can i get brainliest please
Answer:
1.995 m
Explanation:
Distance of penny as seen by the person = 5 m
Height of person from water surface = 3.50 m
Apparent depth of penny = 5 - 3.50 = 1.5 m
refractive index of water, n = 1.33
real depth / apparent depth = n
real depth = 1.33 x 1.5 = 1.995 m
Thus, the actual depth of water at that point is 1.995 m.
