Wellll, let me think about that ...

I don't think I'd agree that you can characterize the amplitude of
a wave according to the density at only one point in it.  After all ...
a tiny wave in steel would be much denser at a compression than
a huge wave in air would be.

The amplitude of any wave is described as the difference between
a peak and the resting value.  Or even better ... half of the difference
between a maximum and a minimum.

So if you're looking at a longitudinal wave, like sound, I'd say if you
want to describe its amplitude, then you have to look at the density
at two points ... either the difference between the compression and
the resting densities, or the difference between the greatest compression
and the greatest rarefaction. 

That's my opinion.  I could be wrong.

guapka [62]

(a)  If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b)  if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.

The force on an object is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{F_2}{m_2a_2}

(a)

when the force is halved, F₂ = 0.5F₁,

mass is doubled, m₂ = 2m₁

\frac{F_1}{m_1a_1} = \frac{0.5F_1}{2m_1a_2} \\\\2m_1a_2F_1 = 0.5F_1 m_1a_1\\\\2a_2 = 0.5a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{0.5a_1}{2} = \frac{a_1}{2 \times 2} = \frac{a_1}{4} \\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{4} (a_1)

Thus, If the force is halved and the mass of the object is doubled, the acceleration will be one-fourth as great.

(b)

when the force is doubled, F₂ = 2F₁,

mass is halved, m₂ = 0.5m₁

\frac{F_1}{m_1 a_1} = \frac{2F_1}{0.5m_1 a_2} \\\\0.5m_1a_2 F_1 = 2F_1m_1a_1\\\\0.5a_2 = 2a_1\\\\a_2 = \frac{2a_1}{0.5} \\\\a_2 = 4(a_1)

Thus, if the force on it is doubled and its mass is halved, the new acceleration will be four times as great.

State any two effects of gravitational force​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.

Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.

Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.
