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?

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:

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

  the unit of the measure =

explanation:

  the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one.

  si unit of energy = joule (j)

  si unit of temperature = kelvin (k)

  si unit of mass of material = kilogram (kg)

the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one is called specific heat.

the unit of specific heat is

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
