Which word describes the maximum a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes?

Physics

Tom [10]2 years ago

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.

Describe what happens to the particles of water when it boils.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The liquid turns to a gas.

Explanation:

If a liquid is heated the particles are given more energy and move faster and faster expanding the liquid. Particles in the middle of the liquid form bubbles of gas in the liquid.

A runner accelerated to 4 m/s^2 for 20 seconds before winning the race.How far did he/she run?
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

s=800 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration of a runner, a = 4 m/s²

Time, t = 20 seconds

We need to find the distance covered by her. Initially, she was at rest. It means its initial velocity is equal to 0. So, using second equation of motion as follows :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Herre, u = 0

s=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\s=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times (20)^2\\\\s=800\ m

So, she will cover a distance of 800 m.

The refrigerant is being recovered from an A/C system. Five minutes after the recovery process is complete, the low-side pressur
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The low side pressure of an A/C system losing vacuum and the pressure rising above zero indicates that there is too much refrigerant in the system.

Explanation:

Considering an A/C system, the condenser fan might be malfunctioning if the low side pressure of the air conditioner is excessive. On the other hand, it's also conceivable that the system has been overcharged with refrigerant.

Stated the scenario that the refrigerant of the system was being recovered, it is an indication that the system is merely overcharged. Even with the engine off, you will notice high pressures.

Either too much oil is present, or there is too much refrigerant in the air conditioning system. In either case, until you let some of that pressure out—ideally, a mechanic should do this—the issue won't go away on its own.

To know more about the pressure scenarios related to AC systems, refer to:
