In a voltaic cell, electrons flow from the (positive/negative) to the (positive/negative) terminal.

Explanation :
Voltaic cells are an electro chemical cell in which chemical reactions occurs to produce electrical energy. Its parts are :
(i) At anode oxidation occurs.
(ii) At cathode reduction occurs.
(iii) A salt bridge.
(iv) External circuit.
(v) Load.
Suppose a voltaic cell is made up of and
. Here zinc can lose electron more rapidly as that of copper. Oxidation of zinc occurs and is called as anode. So, this is a negative terminal.
On the other hand, copper receives electron and hence become cathode. So, this is a positive terminal.
Hence, electrons flow form Zinc to copper i.e. from negative terminal to positive terminal.

(a) 0.96 m/s
The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:
The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:
The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so
And the wave speed is given by:
(b) 0.265 m
The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is
d = 0.53 m
The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is
(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before
In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,
d = 0.30 m
So the amplitude would be
Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.
