<h2>Right answer: 8 m</h2><h2 />
When two waves propagate in the same medium, in the same or opposite direction, they <u>overlap (superposition</u>), that is, the individual waves are added producing a resultant wave. When the superposition of the waves occurs, they continue to advance after the encounter happens, conserving their properties, such as amplitude, frequency, wavelength and speed.
In this case, we have two water waves travelling in opposite directions with <u>differente amplitude</u>, when both waves encounter each other, at that moment the amplitude of the resultant wave is the sum of both, that is:
5m + 3m = 8 m
Therefore, the correct option is D
The Swamp
There are many websites that say the rainforest but the rainforest is warmer and gets rain year round and swamps are warm and gets lots of rain but not year round.
The sextant is so named because its arc encompasses one sixth of a circle (60°), however, due to the optical properties of the reflecting system it measures up to a third of a circle (120°).
The concept of Archimedes' principle is that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The fluid displaced has a weight W = mg, where g is acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the weight of the displaced fluid can be expressed as W = ρVg.
