Answer:

Light does not require any medium to travel because light is a transverse wave

hope it helps

A transverse mechanical wave is traveling along a string lying along the x-axis. The displacement of the string as a function of
Wewaii [24]

(1) The wavelength of the wave is 1.164 m.

(2) The  velocity of the wave is 23.7 m/s.

(3) The maximum speed in the y-direction of any piece of the string is 6.14 m/s.

<h3> Wavelength of the wave</h3>

A general wave equation is given as;

y(x, t) = A sin(Kx - ωt)

<h3>Velocity of the wave</h3>

v = ω/K

From the given wave equation, we have,

y(x, t) = 0.048 sin(5.4x - 128t)

v = ω/K

where;

  • ω corresponds to 128
  • k corresponds to 5.4

v = 128/5.4

v = 23.7 m/s

<h3>Wavelength of the wave</h3>

λ = 2π/K

λ = (2π)/(5.4)

λ = 1.164 m

<h3>Maximum speed of the wave</h3>

v(max) = Aω

where;

  • A is amplitude of the wave
  • ω is angular speed of the wave

v(max) = (0.048)(128)

v(max) = 6.14 m/s

Thus, the wavelength of the wave is 1.164 m.

The  velocity of the wave is 23.7 m/s.

The maximum speed in the y-direction of any piece of the string is 6.14 m/s.

A train slows down as it pulls into a station. if the train is moving from your left to your right, what are the directions of t
navik [9.2K]

The directions of the vectors for velocity and acceleration are in the opposite directions.

  • The velocity vector is always in the direction of motion of the object. So, the direction of velocity is in the right from our point of view.
  • When there is a positive acceleration in the object the acceleration vector is in the direction of motion of the object. When there is a negative acceleration in the object the acceleration vector is in the opposite direction of motion of the object. So, the direction of velocity is in the left from our point of view.

Velocity vector is the rate of change of position of an object. Acceleration vector is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Therefore, the directions of the vectors for velocity and acceleration are in the opposite directions.

Communicating results allows scientists to learn from each other's results.
sveta [45]

True, scientists often talk to each other to figure out if their results were similar and what they could have done better.

Although, talking to other scientists does have risks, other scientists could copy your work and further better it.

So, your final answer is TRUE, sorry for the long answer, I needed to have a word count about 20 characters and then I got carried away! lol
