Yah isnt that obvious? Gasses mix everywhere in all proportions.
Answer:
Amplitude.
Explanation:
A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.
In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;
I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.
II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.
An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.
Hence, an amplitude is a word that describes the maximum displacement a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes.
On a graph, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform and this simply means that, it's measured vertically.
Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;
x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)
Where;
x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.
A is the amplitude.
ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.
t is the time period measured in seconds.
ϕ is the phase angle.
<u>Answer;</u>
<em>Spring constant </em>
<u>Explanation;</u>
The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the <u>spring constant</u>.
- The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.
- Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.
- Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.
To find the Mass of an object, you need to apply division.
Since Resultant Force = Mass X Acceleration
To find mass,
Mass = Force / Acceleration
