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:
215000kgm/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the moving body = 5000kg
Velocity = 43m/s
Unknown:
Momentum = ?
Solution:
The momentum of a body is the amount of motion a body possess.
It is mathematically expressed as:
Momentum = mass x velocity
Now:
Momentum = 5000 x 43 = 215000kgm/s
Answer:
(a) W=1.20×10⁴J
(b) U= -5.46×10⁴J
(c) Q= -4.26×10⁴J
Explanation:
Given that student does 1.20×10⁴J work
(a) W=1.20×10⁴J
Work done by student,so positive sign
During the process, his internal energy decreases by 5.46×10⁴J.
(b) U= -5.46×10⁴J.
As the Energy decreases therefore negative sign
For (c) Q
We know the formula
Equatorial currents are primarily westward. This is because the dominant current in the northern hemisphere has a clockwise direction, while the southern hemisphere has a counterclockwise direction. When these two currents meet at the equator, a common westward current exists.
(1 parsec) is the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. The distance is about 3.26 light years.
Another way to understand it is: The distance from which the Earth's orbit appears 1 arcsecond across.
For a parallax angle of 1/2 arcsecond, the distance is <em>2 parsecs </em>(about 6.52 light years).
1 arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, 0.00028 degree.
