Answer:

A: the full height of a wave

Explanation:

Amplitude of wave is defined as the maximum displacement of wave from it's mean position.

So here when we draw the wave shape then the maximum displacement of wave will be the height of wave which we can draw here as amplitude

mean position is defined as the middle of the wave at which we can say that its net force will be zero and all particles will be at mid point at that.

so we can find the distance of mid point and maximum distance from that which is known as amplitude

The amplitude of the wave is the 'full height of the wave.' Amplitude is measured in m (meters) and is measured over the change of a single period.

If a ball is given a push so that it has an initial velocity of 5 m/s down a certain inclined plane, then the distance it has ro

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

v= 13 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is defined as the derivative of displacement with respect to time

v= ds/dt

Known data

s(t) = 5t + 2t² : distance that the ball has rolled after t seconds

vi= 5 m/s : initial velocity

t= 2 s

Problem develoment

s(t) = 5t + 2t²

v= ds/dt= 5 + 4t : velocity of the ball in function of the time

We replace t =2 s in the equation of velocity

v= 5 + 4(2)

v= 13 m/s : velocity after 2 seconds

What is Newton’s second law of motion

ddd [48]

"F = dP/dt. The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate at which its momentum changes."

These days, we break up "the rate at which momentum changes" into its units, and then re-combine them in a slightly different way. So the way WE express and use the 2nd law of motion is

"F = m·A. The net force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration."

The two statements say exactly the same thing. You can take either one and work out the other one from it, just by working with the units.

Charge is distributed uniformly on the surface of a large flat plate. the electric field 2 cm from the plate is 30 n/c. the elec

AysviL [449]

The electric field produced by a large flat plate with uniform charge density on its surface can be found by using Gauss law, and it is equal to
$E= \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$
where
$\sigma$ is the charge density
$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity

We see that the intensity of the electric field does not depend on the distance from the plate. Therefore, the strenght of the electric field at 4 cm from the plate is equal to the strength of the electric field at 2 cm from the plate:
$E=30 N/C$

You measure the power delivered by a battery to be 4.26 W when it is connected in series with two equal resistors. How much powe

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The power delivered by the battery is 17.04 W

Explanation:

Power through a circuit is given as

P = IV ....1

where P is the power

I is the current through the circuit

V is the voltage through the circuit

The voltage in a circuit is given as

V = IR ....2

Let us take the value of each resistor as equal to R

when connected in series, the total resistance will be

$R_{t}$ = R + R = 2R

If we assume constant voltage through the circuit, then from equation 2, the current in this case is

I = V/2R

If the resistors are connected in parallel, then the total resistance will be

$\frac{1}{R_{t} }$ = $\frac{1}{R}$ +

$R_{t}$ = R/2

The current in this case will be increased since the resistance is reduced

I = 2V/R

comparing the two situations, we can see that the current increased when connected in parallel to a ratio of

$\frac{2V}{R}$ ÷ $\frac{V}{2R}$ =

This means that the current increased 4 times

From equation 1, we can see that electrical power is proportional to the current at a constant voltage, therefore, the power will also increase by four times to

P = 4 x 4.26 = 17.04 W
