maximum displacement = amplitude
Thus, amplitude = 26.0 cm

A dog walks 6m north 4m soutch What is the total displcement of the dog from the starting point?
"Displacement" in physics usually referrs to the net change in position - meaning, take a snapshot of the dog before he starts moving and a snapshot of the dog when he's finished moving, and the distance between his two positions is his net displacement. Nothing he does in between affects the result - only where he starts and where he ends up.If you walk 6 meters north and then turn around and walk 4 meters south, I hope it makes sense that you are now standing 2 meters north of the point where you started. This is your net displacement (2 meters north).
What is instantaneous acceleration?
a=dv/dt=d/dt(dx/dt)=d^2x/dt^2Is the rate of a tangent to the slope of a graph signifying velocity versus time. It is a snapshot of acceleration at a precise moment in time based on the relative changes in velocity over time. It is the limit of acceleration for any given point within the displacement vector.Instantaneous acceleration is how fast a velocity is changing at a specific instant.
Describe light and water waves in terms of amplitude frequency wavelength and speed please?
Let me try. Tie a long rope (10 feet is plenty) to an anchor, such as a water hydrant or lamp post. Hold the free end in your hand. Pull the rope nearly taut by walking away. Stop and jiggle the end you are holding. You can see a traveling wave (see the related link) going from your hand to the anchor. When the frequency of your up-and-down motion is just right (by trial and error), the traveling wave becomes a standing wave (see the related link). A wave is characterized by its properties, namely, its amplitude (y in the Wave illustration), period (wavelength or lambda in Wave), and speed of travel (an easy way to visualize a traveling wave is looking at the "simple harmonic motion" illustration in Wave and see how fast the peak is moving to the right of the picture; speed is how far [meters] the peak moves per second). A water wave is easy to visualize -- all three properties are obvious to human eyes. Light is an electromagnetic (EM) wave, which cannot be seen. However, if you have ideal electric field detectors (can detect any EM wave in intensity, frequency, and polarization; does not interfere with the wave), you can place a detector at regular intervals apart and see how the reading of each detector changes with time. The readings will resemble that of the traveling water wave. To reiterate what the illustrations display: amplitude = intensity of the wave = half of the peak-to-trough (or peak-to-peak in Electrical Engineering speak; confusing, isn't it?). wavelength = the true peak-to-peak (meaning not the peak-to-trough representation) distance measured in a snapshot (taking a still picture from a camera) of the wave or EM detector readings. EM frequency = speed of light / wavelength water-wave frequency = speed of the water wave / wavelength ==============================
Can electric field strength be negative?
Indeed. Let's try to picture what is happening. What is an electric field? this is what we have playing on the stage: Space: in which bodies and charges are placed. Time: not of our interest if for our considerations we look at a single snapshot of the system and for which snapshot we proceed in calculating properties. Bodies: if no bodies at all then we would only have empty space, not really interesting. Bodies are made of matter. Matter is made of particles, sub-particles and so on. Bodies made of charged particles have electric properties: this is to say that the presence of one body influences at a distance another body. In this case we consider electrical influences (perturbations). So that the presence of one charged body can influence the another charged body. What kind of influence? By definition of electric field we are talking about forces. What is a force? a force is mass times acceleration. Acceleration is change in velocity. So force depends on the mass of an object and on how its speed changes with time. As a consequence takes much more force to accelerate a very massive body then it takes to impinge the same acceleration to a less massive one. Going back to influences between charged bodies. A body that possess a charge can exert a force on another charged body. The electric field tells us what kind of force a charged body can exert on another charged body. Assuming that by 'Strength' (in the question) one means the magnitude of the electric field vector (vector quantity since electric field contains both information about magnitude and direction), then according to the definition E=F/q and depending on the sign of F and q, the magnitude can be negative. where: E is the magnitude of the electric field vector [Newton/Coulomb]; F is the force experienced by the charge placed in the electric field [Newton]; q is the charge [Coulomb]. Consider that in electrostatics (the snapshot scenario in which we neglect time evolution) Force is given by the Coulomb equation: F= (Q1x Q2)(R2)-1(constant) where: F is the force exerted by the body carrying the charge Q2 on the body carrying the charge Q1,and viceversa (according to principle of action and reaction) [Newton] Q1 is the charge of body 1. Q2 is the charge of body 2. R2 is the square of the distance between charges Q1 and Q2. If body 1 and body 2 carrying the charges are of spherical shape, then the distance R is measured from the centres of the spheres. constant is a term including the permittivity of free space (or adjusted constant depending on medium in which the electromagnetic waves between the two bodies are travelling); it's a term that strictly speaking takes care of units and slightly adjust the numerical result. Conceptually (qualitatively) this term is not important, with except of sorting out the units.
What is the difference between a sound wave and a mechanical wave?
There are basically three types of waves in nature. 1) Transverse wave. 2) Longitudinal wave. 3) Matter waves. Transverse wave is the one in which the motion of particles takes place in the direction perpendicular to that of the propagation of the wave. For example consider the vibration in the string. The wave goes along the length of the string but the string particles maintain a to and fro motion in a direction normal to that of the string. A snapshot of a vibrating string will resemble the graph of a sine or cosine function. This is how a typical mechanical wave propagates. It may also be noted that it requires no medium for transmission On the contrary a sound wave is a longitudinal wave.In a longitudinal wave, propagation takes place in a direction of motion of particles.i.e the particles are in state of compression and rarefactions. plus it requires a medium for transmission
