What measures the distance between two consecutive crests of a wave?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer A is incorrect
A crest is just one point. It is not the distance between 2 crests.

B is incorrect
A trough is just 1 point. It is not the distance between 2 troughs.

C is incorrect.
the amplitude measures the height of a crest from the middle of the wave to the crest (or trough).

D is the correct answer. That is the distance between 2 crests or 2 troughs

Why do all objects above earth's surface have gravitational potential energy

gayaneshka [121]

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Heat is transferred at a rate of 2 kW from a hot reservoir at 800 K to a cold reservoir at 300 K. Calculate the rate at which th

vekshin1

Answer:

0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Second law is satisfied.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Rate of heat transfer, Q = 2kW

Temperature of hot reservoir, Th = 800K

Temperature of cold reservoir, Tc = 300K

The rate of entropy change is given as:

ΔS = Q * [(1/Tc) - (1/Th)]

ΔS = 2 * (1/300 - 1/800)

ΔS = 2 * 0.002085

ΔS = 0.00417 kW/K or 4.17 W/K

Since ΔS is greater than 0, te the second law of thermodynamics is satisfied.

It is not just lab chemicals but also common household substances that can be classified as acidic, basic, and neutral materials

Montano1993 [528]

Acidic: coffee, orange juice , soft drink, vinegar

Basic: Antacid, Baking soda, Detergent, Lye, Milk of Magnesia

Neutral: water, Sugar, Table salt.

Explanation:

Acidic substances have high concentration of hydrogen ions and have pH value less than 7. Basic substances have high concentration of hydroxide ions and have pH value more than 7. Neutral substance have pH value 7. The concentration oh hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions is equal.

Salt is formed when a acid reacts with base in a neutralization reaction. Different types of salt are formed depending upon the concentration of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. Neutral salt is formed when concentration of hydrogen ion is equal to concentration of hydroxide ions.

Coffee, orange juice , soft drink, vinegar are acidic substances. Antacid, Baking soda, Detergent, Lye, Milk of Magnesia. water, Sugar, Table salt are neutral substances.

A car traveling on a flat (unbanked) circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of 1.7 m/s^2.

Komok [63]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the car and the track

u=0.572

Explanation:

We don't know the mass of the car or any other information so the acceleration is the reason to solve the friction coefficient

∑ $F=F_{f}=m*a_{t}$
