Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave is equal to the height of a wave. It is the maximum displacement of the wave. The intensity of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of a wave.

The highest point of the wave is called the crest and the lowest point of the wave is called the trough.

The crest of wave is defined as the distance from the base line to the maximum point and the trough of a wave is defined as the distance from the base line to the minimum point.

The correct option is:

crest trough


In fact, the sentence can be completed as follows:

"The amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave as measured from the highest point on the wave crest to the lowest point on the wave trough."

Marianna [84]

Answer:

<h2>E. 3.95kW</h2>

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of workdone.

Power = Workdone/time taken

Given Workdone = Force * distance

Power = Force * distance/time taken

Power = mgd/t (F = mg)

m = mass of the sand in kg

g = acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

d = vertical distance covered in metres

t = time taken in seconds

Given m = 2000kg, d = 12m, t = 1min = 60secs, g = 9.8m/s²

Power = 2000*9.8*12/60

Power = 3920Watts

Minimum rate of power that must be supplied to this machine is 3920Watts or 3.92kW

What is the efficiency (w/qh) of an ideal carnot heat engine operating between a hot region at t= 400 k and a cold one at t= 300
Vinvika [58]
The efficiency of an ideal Carnot heat engine can be written as:
\eta = 1-  \frac{T_{cold}}{T_{hot}}
where
T_{cold} is the temperature of the cold region
T_{hot} is the temperature of the hot region

For the engine in our problem, we have T_{cold}=300 K and T_{hot}=400 K, so the efficiency is
\eta= 1 - \frac{300 K}{400 K}=0.25

Answer:  Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the velocity. If the velocity of an object doubles, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of four. Kinetic energy is proportional to the square

of the velocity. If the velocity of an object

doubles, the kinetic energy increases by a

factor of four.

• Kinetic energy is proportional to the mass. If

a bowling ball and a ping pong ball have the

same velocity, the bowling ball has much

larger kinetic energy.

• Kinetic energy is always positive.

• unit : Joule (J) = kg m

2

/s

2 Example:

If we drop a 3-kg ball from a height of h = 10 m,

the velocity when the ball hits the ground is

given by: v 2 = v0 2 +2a(y− y0 )= 0−2g(0−h)v= 2gh= 2(9.8 m/s 2 )(10 m)=14 m /s Initial:   k = 1 2 mv 2 = 0 Final:    k = 1 2 mv 2= 1 2 (3 kg)(14 m/s) 2= 294 J So as the ball falls, its kinetic energy increases. It is the gravitational force that accelerates the ball, causing the speed to increase. The increase in speed also increases the kinetic energy. The process of a force changing the kinetic energy of an object is called work. Work: Work is the energy transferred to or from an object by mean of a force acting on the object.• energy transferred to an object is positive work, e.g. gravity performs positive work on a

falling ball by transferring energy to the ball, causing the ball to speed up.• energy transferred from an object is negative work, e.g. gravity performs negative work on a ball tossed up by transferring energy from the ball, causing the ball to slow down.• both kinetic energy and work are scalars.• unit: J Work Energy Theorem: The work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy: ∆K = K f − K i = W In the above example with the ball falling from a height of h = 10 m, the work done by gravity: W = ∆k = k f −k i = 294 J− 0J = 294 J. If a ball rises to a height of h =10 m, the work done by gravity: W = ∆k = k f −k i = 0J−294 J = −294 J. Work Done by a Force: Consider a box being dragged a distance d across a frictionless floor:

d F y x θ v 2 = v0 2 + 2ax (x − x0 ) v 2 = v0 2 +2ax d 1 2 mv 2 = 1 2 mv0 2 +max d 1 2 mv 2 − 1 2 mv0 2 = max d k f −k i = (Fcosθ)d ∴W = (Fcosθ)d• θ is the angle between the force vector and the direction of motion.• If the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, then the work done: W =(Fcosθ)d = Fdcos90°= Fd×0= 0.• The work energy theorem and the relationship between work and force are valid only if the force does not cause any other form of energy to change, e. g. we can not apply the theorem when friction is

involved because it causes a change in the thermal energy (temperature). Work Done by Multiple Forces: The total work done by many forces acting on an object:Wtot = F1 cosθ 1 d+F2 cosθ 2 d+ F3 cosθ 3 d+L where the angles are the angle between each force and the direction of motion.  The total work is just the sum of individual work from each force:Wtot =W1 +W2 +W3 +L The work energy theorem relates the changes  in the kinetic energy to the total work performed on the object: ∆K =Wtot Example: A 3-kg box initially at rest slides 3 m down a frictionless 30° incline.  What is the work done on the object?  What is the kinetic energy and speed at the bottom?

x y N φ φ mg• The work done is performed by the force in the x direction since there is no motion in the y direction: W = F x d =(mgsinφ)d =(3 kg)(9.8 m/s 2 )(sin30°)(3 m) = 44 J Alternatively, W =(Fcosθ)d = Fcos(90°−φ)d = FsinφdH The first method of using the component of the force in the direction of motion for the calculation is easier.

The earth and the moon are attracted to each other by gravitational force. Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Gravitational attraction is caused by the mass of an object. Since Earth is far more massive than the Moon, the gravitational force exerted on the Moon is far greater than that of the Moon on the Earth. An example of the difference: while the Moon causes tides on the Earth, the Earth has the Moon locked so that the same face (minus some wobbling) is always visible from the Earth
