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

How will a current change if the voltage in a circuit is held constant while the resistance doubles? 1. it's impossible to predi
laila [671]
According to Ohm's Law: 

I =  \frac{V}{R}

Where: V = Voltage
            I = Current
            R = Resistance

As you can see here, you can say that Current is directly proportional to Voltage and indirectly proportional to Resistance. This means that as the voltage increases, current increases and as the resistance increases, current decreases. 

So in your scenario, if the voltage remains the same, but the resistance is doubled, that means that the current will be halved. So the answer to your question is 2. the current will drop to half of its original value.

Consider hitting a baseball with a bat. If we call the force on the bat against the ball the action force, identify the reaction
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Action and reaction force are an integral part of third law of Newton . They are equal and opposite force - couple which act on two opposite objects. That is why they can not make a body in equilibrium.

In the given case, a bat is hit by a ball , at the point of contact , two equal and opposite forces emerge simultaneously , one acting on the ball and the other acting on the bat. As per the problem , force on the bat is called action . So the other force , that is force acting on the ball is called reaction force.

When an oxygen atom forms an ion, it gains two electrons. What is the electrical charge of the oxygen ion?
Mashutka [201]
-2. This is because it is gaining electrons. Electrons are negative. Therefore it is a negative charge.
