You do it by the pressure difference it causes in the medium. Even in transversal waves, you usually need different units than meters because the wave has electric and magnetic vectors and not really any height to speak of.
you measure the amount of excursion from the equilibrium (no wave) level of whatever parameter is fluctuating.
Answer:
The answer is letter B, absorb.
Explanation:
Heat travels through three different ways: radiation,conduction and convection.
Radiation- this happens when heat moves as energy waves (infrared waves) directly from its source to something.
Conduction- heat passes directly from one object to another through the touching of surfaces.
Convection- this occurs when warmer areas of a liquid or gas rise to cooler areas in the liquid or gas.
The transfer of heat in the situation above is an example of "thermal radiation." The campfire carries light energy through the fire. These consists of electromagnetic waves (most of these are infrared light). These waves (radiation) carry energy, which is then converted to heat once it hits another object that absorbs it. In the case above, once the hands absorbs the energy, it then warms up. This happened because the hands are placed <u><em>near the campfire.</em></u> Placing the hands near the campfire is important because air is a poor thermal conductor.
Thus, the answer above is letter B, absorb.
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for kinetic energy Ke=1/2mv^2 where Ke is kinetic energy, m=mass, and v= velocity.
If the kinetic energy is increased that means that there must be an increase in mass or velocity. However, since the velocity is squared that means that velocity affects the kinetic energy of the object more than the mass does.
In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction
