Correct answer choice is :


B) Maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position


Explanation:


The amplitude, a, of a wave is the distance from the center line to the top of a crest or to the base of a channel. Amplitude is the variation or displacement of a wave from its mean value. With sound waves, it is the amount to which air particles are removed, and this amplitude of sound or sound amplitude is encountered as the loudness of sound. The quantity of energy taken by a wave is similar to the amplitude of the wave. A large energy wave is described by a high amplitude, a low energy wave is described by a low amplitude.

A river is flowing south at a rate of 3 m/s. Steven can roe directly across the river if he aims the raft 30 degrees. What rate
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The river flowing south at the rate, v = 3 m/s

To reach the other side directly across the river, he aims the raft, Ф = 30°

The speed of his raft across the river is given by the formula,

                                          V = v / Sin Ф

                                             = 3 / Sin 30°

                                              = 6 m/s

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

If you walk 1.2 km north and then 1.6 km east, what are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement?
vodomira [7]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Option A is the correct answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

 First walking 1.2 km north,  displacement = 1.2 j km

 Secondly 1.6 km east, displacement = 1.6 i km

 Total displacement = (1.6 i + 1.2 j) km

 Magnitude = \sqrt{1.2^2+1.6^2} = 2 km

 Angle of resultant with positive X - axis = tan^{-1}(1.2/1.6)=36.87^0 = 36.87⁰ east of north.

What Molecules can be found in the interstellar medium? A. Water, Carbon dioxide, and Hydrogen. B. Oxygen, Nitrogen and ammonia.
Masteriza [31]
The interstellar medium is the matter as well as the radiations that are found in the galaxies occupying the spaces between the star systems.
Interstellar medium is mainly composed of hydrogen that is followed by helium and trace amounts of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon (considered traces when compared to amount of hydrogen).

Therefor, the right choice is:
<span>A. Water, Carbon dioxide, and Hydrogen</span>

A person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force. The force with which the earth is attract
suter [353]

Answer:

800 N

Explanation:

By Newton's third law which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So, as the earth attracts the person towards its center, the person attracts the earth towards itself with the same magnitude of force but in the opposite direction.

Since the person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force, the  the earth is attracted toward the person with an 800 N reaction force.
