Which term describes the number of crests that pass a point in a given amount of time

Physics

The term is frequency.

The frequency is the number of vibrations per unit of time or the number of waves that passes a point per unit of time.

Every crest (and every trough) represents a pass of the wave so you can count the number of crests in an intervavl of time to find the frequency as the number of crests divided by the time elapsed.

A common black ant discovers a piece of bread 85 cm east of the entrance of her nest. If the ant carries 10 bits of bread back t
babunello [35]

Answer:

19 x 85 = 1,615 for distance. Displacement is 0

Explanation:

The total distance traveled by the ant in 9 round trips and one 1/2 trip, or 19 one bash way trips: 19 x 85cm = 1615cm. The displacement of the ant after the tenth trip is 0 cm ( the displacement origin is the nest.)

Unpolarized light is passed through an optical filter that is oriented in the vertical direction.
VashaNatasha [74]

In order to solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity and specifically described in Malus's law.

Malus's law warns that

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

\theta= Angle between the analyzer axis and the polarization axis

I_0 =Intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer

The intensity of the beam from the first polarizer is equal to the half of the initial intensity

I = \frac{I_0}{2}

Replacing with our the numerical values we get

I = \frac{46}{2}

I = 23W/m^2

Therefore the  intensity of the light that emerges from the filter is 23W/m^2

An object that has negative acceleration is definitely doing what?
aksik [14]

Answer:

An object with 0 acceleration is accelerating in a direction that is opposite to a stated positive direction.

Explanation:

Acceleration is not always based on speeding up or slowing down (a constant speed is no acceleration at all), it's also based on direction. If you state that an object is positively accelerating when you throw it upwards, then it's negatively accelerating when it's falling even though it's velocity is increasing.

A 12 v automobile battery is connected to an electric starter motor. the current through the motor is 206
vampirchik [111]
Power = (voltage) x (current). The motor consumes (12)x(206)=2,472 watts. Some of it is dissipated as heat, but most of it is used to do useful work by turning the engine over to make it start.
