Answer:

Wavelength

Explanation:

The wavelength of a transverse wave (where the oscillation occurs perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave) is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests ot two consecutive troughs.

In a longitudinal wave, where the oscillation occurs parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions.

Other important definitions for a wave are:

- Frequency: the number of complete cycles per second

- Period: the time needed for one complete cycle to occur

- Amplitude: the distance between the equilibrium position and the maximum displacement of the wave

The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 2.5 times what it is here on earth. An object weighing 347.9 N here on earth will
inessss [21]

Answer:  weight on Jupiter = 869.75 N

              mass  on Earth = mass on Jupiter = 35.5 Kg

Explanation:

W = mg

W = weight

m = mass

g = gravitational acceleration [ on the Earth, g₁ = 9,8 N/kg ]

On the Earth,

G₁ = m x g₁  = 347,9 N

On the Jupiter,

G₂ = mg₂  

mass on the Earth = mass on the Jupiter !  

m = G₁ : g = 347.9 N : 9,8 N/kg = 35.5 kg

G2 : G1 = 2.5

G₂ = 2,5 G₁ = 2,5 x 347.9 N =  869,75 N
