Why is the top of a wave called a crest

Physics
1 answer:
Molodets [167]4 years ago
4 0

Answer: A crest is the highest point the medium rises to and a trough is the lowest point the medium sinks to. It is also a point on the wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

\frac{R_2}{R_1}=\frac{A_1}{A_2}\\\frac{R_4}{R_3}=\frac{A_3}{A_4}

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length and is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area, this dependence is given by:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

\rho is the material's resistance, L is the legth and A is the cross-sectional area.

For the first and second coils, we have:

R_1=\frac{\rho L}{A_1}\\R_2=\frac{\rho L}{A_2}\\\rho L=R_1A_1\\\rho L=R_2A_2\\R_1A_1=R_2A_2\\\frac{R_2}{R_1}=\frac{A_1}{A_2}

For the third and fourth coils, we have:

R_3=\frac{\rho L'}{A_3}\\R_4=\frac{\rho L'}{A_4}\\\rho L'=R_3A_3\\\rho L'=R_4A_4\\R_3A_3=R_4A_4\\\frac{R_4}{R_3}=\frac{A_3}{A_4}

Determine the gravitational energy of your 2 kg physics binder if it is sitting on the ground (height= 0
RSB [31]

Answer:

0J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of the body is 0J because the height is at 0m.

Gravitational potential energy is a form of energy which is highly dependent on the position of a body. The relative position of a body in space accounts for the amount of gravitational potential energy they posses.

  • A body at height 0m has no gravitational potential energy:

 Gravitational potential energy  = mgh

       m is the mass of the body

       g is the acceleration due to gravity

       h is the height

 So, if h = 0, Gravitational potential energy will become 0.

Water towers store water above the level of consumers for times of heavy use, eliminating the need for high-speed pumps. How hig
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: Height should be 44.1 m.

Explanation:

Pressure exerted by stationary water stored at a height is,

P = ρgh

4.41 × 10^{5} = 1000× 10× h

solving we get,

h = 44.1 m

the skydiver has a forward velocity of 40 m/s, After two second, what is the skydivers forward and downward velocity?
bogdanovich [222]
Initial velocity, u = 40 m/s
Final velocity, v = ?
t = 2s
g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

v = u + gt.       Since it is a free fall, acceleration due to gravity, g

v = 40 + 9.8*2

<span>v = 59.6 m/s</span>

What is a Homonym for a type of cloak?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

In both cases, the sound and spelling are the same, and only the definition changes. Here are 30 more examples of homonyms. Note that some homonyms have more than two meanings (for example, "tender" can also mean sensitive, easily chewed, or even refer to chicken strips), but to keep things simple we've only included two in our homonyms list:
