The whole question is talking about the amplitude of a wave
that's transverse and wiggling vertically.
Equilibrium to the crest . . . that's the amplitude.
Crest to trough . . . that's double the amplitude.
Trough to trough . . . How did that get in here ? Yes, that's
the wavelength, but it has nothing to do
with vertical displacement.
Frequency . . . that's how many complete waves pass a mark
on the ground every second. Doesn't belong here.
Notice that this has to be a transverse wave. If it's a longitudinal wave,
like sound or a slinky, then it may not have any displacement at all
across the direction it's moving.
It also has to be a vertically 'polarized' wave. If it's wiggling across
the direction it's traveling BUT it's wiggling side-to-side, then it has
no vertical displacement. It still has an amplitude, but the amplitude
is all horizontal.
Answer:
D. moving slow at a constant speed and traveling along a straight line
Elastic potential energy is equal to the force times the distance of movement. Elastic potential energy = force x distance of displacement. Because the force is = spring constant x displacement, then the Elastic potential energy = spring constant x displacement squared.
Answer:
The answer is A because the equation is KEi+PEi=KEf+PEf
i means initial (before) and f means final (after)
Density =mass/Volume
0.8=mass/60
Mass=0.8*60
Mass=48g
