Answer:

In my textbook's words-

Amplitude, in physics, the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its equilibrium position. It is equal to one-half the length of the vibration path.

The p wave on an electrocardiogram represents __________.

Harrizon [31]

It represents the depolarization of the atria.

Explanation:

The P wave speaks to the depolarization of the left and right chamber and furthermore relates to atrial compression. Carefully, the atria contract a brief moment after the P wave starts. Since it is so little, atrial repolarization is typically not unmistakable on ECG.

In an ordinary ECG, there's three particular waves. The primary wave is the P wave, which speaks to the depolarization of the atria. This happens directly before the atria agreement and drive blood into the ventricles. The following wave is known as the QRS wave.

A railroad train is traveling at a speed of 26.0 m/s in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the locomotive whistle i

olga55 [171]

Answer: 0.757m; 0.881m; 432.70Hz; 371.89Hz

Explanation:

Give the following :

Velocity of train (Vt) = 26m/s

Frequency of sound (Fs) = 420Hz

Speed of sound (Vs) = 344m/s

1) wavelength = (Vs - Vt) / Fs

Wavelength = (344 - 26) / 420 = 318/420 = 0.757m

11) Wavelength = (Vs + Vt) / Fs

Wavelength = (344 + 26) / 420 = 370/420 = 0.881m

111) According to the doppler effect :

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = frequency of listener ; fs = frequency of sound source ; V = speed of sound ; Vl = Velocity of listener ; Vs = speed of sound source

Vs = - ve (train moving towards listener)

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = [(344 + 0) / (344 - 26)] * 400

Fl = (344 / 318) * 400 = 432.70Hz

1V) Vs = + ve (train moving away listener)

Fl = [(V + Vl) / (V + Vs)] * fs

Fl = [(344 + 0) / (344 + 26)] * 400

Fl = (344 / 370) * 400 = 371.89Hz
