Answer:
So waves are everywhere. But what makes a wave a wave? What characteristics, properties, or behaviors are shared by the phenomena that we typically characterize as being a wave? How can waves be described in a manner that allows us to understand their basic nature and qualities?
A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. Consider a slinky wave as an example of a wave. When the slinky is stretched from end to end and is held at rest, it assumes a natural position known as the equilibrium or rest position. The coils of the slinky naturally assume this position, spaced equally far apart. To introduce a wave into the slinky, the first particle is displaced or moved from its equilibrium or rest position. The particle might be moved upwards or downwards, forwards or backwards; but once moved, it is returned to its original equilibrium or rest position. The act of moving the first coil of the slinky in a given direction and then returning it to its equilibrium position creates a disturbance in the slinky. We can then observe this disturbance moving through the slinky from one end to the other. If the first coil of the slinky is given a single back-and-forth vibration, then we call the observed motion of the disturbance through the slinky a slinky pulse. A pulse is a single disturbance moving through a medium from one location to another location. However, if the first coil of the slinky is continuously and periodically vibrated in a back-and-forth manner, we would observe a repeating disturbance moving within the slinky that endures over some prolonged period of time. The repeating and periodic disturbance that moves through a medium from one location to another is referred to as a wave.

Explanation:
Sports like swimming and track are individual races but in the end everyone on the team races come together to make a team placement.
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit in terms of the Celsius is given by the formula 
and the temperature in degrees Celsius in terms of the Kelvin temperature is given by the formula 
, we can use the second formula and substitute it straight into the first formula (since a simplification is not being asked), obtaining .
The friction between the two objects creates heat.
I'm such a devoted NASCAR fan that I don't even know if the starting line and finish line at Indy are the same line ... or maybe they're in different places, like the 100-meter sprint in track.
I have no idea, but I'm going to guess that the start and finish at Indy are the SAME line.
If that's true, then the displacement of a car that runs the whole 500 miles is very close to <em>ZERO</em>.
Displacement is the distance and direction between the place where the object starts out and the place where it ends up. The route it follows to get from the start to the finish is completely ignored, and doesn't matter.
