A transverse wave has an amplitude of 2.4m. What is the vertical distance, in meters, between the top of a Crest and the bottom of a Trough?​

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

4.8 m

Explanation:

A transverse wave is a wave in which the oscillation of the particles occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

The amplitude of a transverse wave is the maximum displacement of the wave with respect to the equilibrium position.

The crest of a wave is the position of maximum displacement on the positive side, while the trough of a wave is the position of maximum displacement on the negative side.

This means that the amplitude of a wave is equal to the distance between a crest (or a trough) and the equilibrium position.

Therefore, we have:

d=2A

where:

d is the distance between the top of a crest and the bottom of a trough

A is the amplitude of the wave

Here we have:

A = 2.4 m

So, we find

d=2\cdot 2.4 = 4.8 m

What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 121m in 30s?

Answers

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Speed = (121 m) / (30 sec)

Speed = 4.03 m/s (about 9 mph ... pretty slow for a bobsled)

Why there is tides in sea and ocean

Answers

Answer:

   Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels. Tides occur due to the gravitational forces exerted on the Earth by moon, and to a lesser extent, the sun. That's why tides occur in ocean or sea.

Hope this helps
