Using the information from Paul Hewitt's Conceptual Development Practice Page 25-1 and the image below, answer the following question.Image of a wave with two rulers, one vertical and one horizontal, measuring the wave is shown. The wave's first crest aligns from 0 to just less than 4 centimeters on the horizontal ruler and rises from the equilibrium located at 5 centimeters to just before 3 centimeters. The wave's first trough aligns continues to just less than 8 centimeters on the horizontal ruler and goes down from the equilibrium located at 5 centimeters to just before 7 centimeters.What was the measurement of the wavelength and amplitude respectively?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

A = 2 cm,   λ = 8 cm

Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum height it has, in this case the height is measured by the vertical ruler,

We are told the balance point is in the reading of 5 cm, that the maximum reading is 3 cm and the Minimum reading is 7 cm. Therefore, the distance from the ends of the ridge to the point of equilibrium is

          d = 7-5 = 2 cm

          d = 5-3 = 2 cm

          A = 2 cm

The wavelength is the minimum horizontal distance for which the wave is repeated, that is measured by the horizontal ruler.

The initial reading for 4 cm and the final reading for 8 cm, this distance corresponds to a crest of the wave, the complete wave is formed by two crests whereby the wavelength is twice this value

          Δx = 8-4 = 4 cm

          λ = 2 Δx

          λ = 8 cm

Which type of waves is important to have for a surfer who wants to do aerial maneuvers? A. Plunging waves B. Surging waves C. Orbital waves D. Spilling waves

Answers

Plungingwaves is important to have for a surfer who wants to do aerial maneuvers.

The correct options is A.

What is a plunging wave?

When the ocean floor is steep or has abrupt depth changes, crashingwaves occur. They could be large close-outs or strong barrels. Combining pouring and plungingwaves creates a collapsing wave.

What causes plunging waves to form?

When the incoming surf strikes a steep ocean floor or a sea bottom with abrupt depth changes, plungingwaves are created. The wave's peak curves over and erupts on the trough as a result. A crashing sound is frequently audible due to the compression of the airbeneath the wave's lip.

#SPJ2

Aerial maneuvers in surfing demand taking the surfboard into the air. The best type of waves for such maneuvers are:

- the section of a wave coming towards you should be  smaller than the section you are on

- you should try to find closeout sections of waves (  formations that do not allow a tubular ride )

- the wave should be either wedging or bowling in towards you, it should not be a straight wave.

What is not needed for a charge to flow through a conducting wire?A. an electrical insulator

B. a wire connected in a complete loop

C. a source of electrical energy

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is an electrical insulator.

Explanation:

Insulator : It is a material which resists the flow of electrons. It has high resistance in comparison to the conductor.

Conductor: It is a material which allows the flow of electrons. It has low resistance in comparison to the conductor.

Battery is a source of electrical energy. It forces the electrons to flow. The rate of flow of electrons constitutes the current.

In the given problem, an electrical insulator is not needed for a charge to flow through a conducting wire.

To design the circuit and to make a current flow in the circuit, a battery, a wire connected in a complete loop and a source of electrical energy are needed.

Therefore, the correct option is (C).

An electrical insulator would not be needed for a charge to flow through a conducting wire.

Answer: Letter A
