Back

In amps.

Front

Front

What is amplitude in the context of waves?

Back

The maximum distance from the rest position to the crest or trough.

Front

What is the difference between static friction and sliding friction?

Back

Static friction acts on stationary objects, while sliding friction acts on moving objects.

Front

What is a medium in terms of wave propagation?

Back

A substance through which a wave can travel.

Front

What is the relationship between distance and gravitational attraction?

Back

Objects that are closer together attract more strongly than those that are far apart.
