Answer

Correct answer is amplitude

Explanation:

Frequency: frequency is the number of complete waves which passes through a point in one second. SI unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz). Frequency depends on Wavelength. Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. It means if wavelength of wave is higher, then its frequency will be shorter.

Wavelength: wavelength is the distance between adjacent crests. SI unit of wavelength is meters. Wavelength depends on frequency. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, it means if frequency of wave is higher, then its wavelength will be shorter.

Speed : Speed of wave is defined as the speed with which a wave propagate in a medium or vacuum. SI unit of speed is m/s. Wave speed depends on wavelength and frequency by following equation

$speed=frequency\times wavelength$

Amplitude: Amplitude is the height of the wave. SI unit of amplitude is meter. Amplitude is independent of frequency, wavelength and speed. So it is correct answer

There are three long parallel wires arranged so that, in cross-section, they occupy the points of an equilateral triangle. Is th

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Yes, there is such a way.

Explanation:

If currents flow in the same direction in two or more long parallel wires, there will be an attractive force between the wires. If the current flows in different directions, there will be a repulsive force between the wires. In this case, these three parallel wires, can be be made to carry current in the same direction, creating an attractive force between all three wires.

Note that it is not possible to have at the least one of them carry current in the opposite direction and still have an attractive current between them.

a body is projected at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal with a velocity of 15m/s, calculate the time it takes to reach t

andreev551 [17]

Explanation:

The vertical component the velocity of the projectile is 15 m/s x sin 30 = 7.5 m/s.

The body is accelarating downwards at 10 m/s^2.

This means that every second its upward velocity reduces by 10 m/s.

So if the body is travelling upwards at 7.5 m/s then how long does it take for the velocity to become 0?

(7.5 m/s) / (10 m/s^2) = 0.75 s

Explain how Newton’s second law of motion affects a game of Tug of War

notka56 [123]

Answer: Newton's second law of motion is F = ma or force is equal to the mass the reason this applies to Newton's third law is because When the game starts, both the sides are pulling the rope and neither side is moving. The force on the rope is the same on each side This is Newton's second law of motion which equates force as mass times acceleration.
