Answer:
a) A = 3 cm, b) T = 0.4 s, f = 2.5 Hz,
2) A standing wave the displacement of the wave is canceled and only one oscillation remains
Explanation:
a) in an oscillatory movement the amplitude is the highest value of the signal in this case
A = 3 cm
b) the period of oscillation is the time it takes for the wave to repeat itself in this case
T = 0.4 s
the period is the inverse of the frequency
f = 1 /T
f = 1 /, 0.4
f = 2.5 Hz
2) a traveling wave is a wave for which as time increases the displacement increases, in the case of a transverse wave the oscillation is perpendicular to the displacement and in the case of a longitudinal wave the oscillation is in the same direction of the displacement.
A standing wave occurs when a traveling wave bounces off some object and there are two waves, one that travels in one direction and the other that travels in the opposite direction. In this case, the displacement of the wave is canceled and only one oscillation remains.
Answer:
Drilling into the seafloor off Mexico, scientists have extracted a unique geologic record of the single worst day in the history of life on Earth, when a city-sized asteroid smashed into the planet 65 million years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs and three-quarters of all other life.
Their analysis of these new rock samples from the Chicxulub crater, made public Monday, reveals a parfait of debris deposited in layers almost minute-by-minute at the heart of the impact during the first day of a global catastrophe. It records traces of the explosive melting, massive earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and wildfires as the immense asteroid blasted a hole 100 miles wide and 12 miles deep, the scientists said.
It depends on what that "certain amount" is.
