Mashcka [7]2 years ago

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."

A 1300 kg car traveling with a speed of 3.5 m/s executes a turn with a 8.5 m radius of curvature.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

1.4 m/s/s (2.s.f)

Explanation:

The formula for centripetal acceleration is:

a=\frac{v^{2} }{r}, where v is velocity and r is the radius.

In the question we are given the information that the car has a mass of 1300kg, a velocity of 2.5m/s, and a turn radius of 8.5m which are all the values we need. Therefore we can simply substitute in the values to solve the question:

a=\frac{3.5^{2} }{8.5} \\a=1.4

Therefore the centripetal acceleration of the car is 1.4m/s/s. (2.s.f)

Hope this helped!

In Millikan's oil-drop experiment, one looks ata small oil drop held motionless between two plates. Take the voltage betwee the
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The charge on the drop  is

q = 1.741 x 10 ⁻²¹ C

Explanation:

Electric field due to plates

Ef = V/d  

Ef = 2033 V / (2.0 * 10^-2 m )

Ef = 101650 V/m

So, we can write  

Ef * q = m*g

q = m*g / E f

The mass can be equal using the density and the volume so:

m = ρ * v

The volume can be find as:

v = 2.298 x 10 ⁻ ¹⁶ m³

q =  ρ * v * g / Ef

q =  81 x 10 ³ kg/ m³ * 2.2298 x 10 ⁻ ¹⁶ m³ * 9.8 m/s² / 101650 V/m

The charge on the drop  is

q = 1.741 x 10 ⁻²¹ C

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north


<u>Explanation</u>


Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.


Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.


We now add to obtain,

4+-2+5+-5

This will simplify to

=4-2+5-5=2

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north

James accelerates his skate board uniformly along a straight road from rest to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is James Acceleration?
lawyer [7]

Given:

u(initial velocity)=0

v(final velocity)= 10 m/s

t= 4 sec

Now we know that

v= u + at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration measured in m/s^2

t is the time measured in sec

10=0+ax4

a=10/4

a=2.5 m/s^2
