How do you determine that the amplitude of y equals -2 sin x?
The amplitude of a function is half the distance between the maximum and minimum values. This is the absolute value of the number in front of the trig function. for example, y=Asin(x) or y= Acos(x) the absolute value of A is the amplitude. Therefore, the amplitude of y=-2sinx is 2
The amplitude of the pendulum?
The amplitude of a pendulum is the distance between its equilibrium point and the farthest point that it reaches during each oscillation.
Why is 2 the answer for amplitude of y equals -2 sin x?

Describe the relationship between the variable of time distance and speed?
Time = (distance) divided by (speed) Distance = (speed) multiplied by (time) Speed = (distance) divided by (time)
How do you describe the function y equals 5x?
It is a linear function passing through the origin. It represents a direct proportionality between x and y.
What is the verticle distance between a wave's crest and trough?
The vertical distance between the peak and trough is 2*Amplitude.

Is the amplitude of a wave is the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point on the next wave?
No, the distance between a point on one wave and the identical point on the next wave is the wavelength, not the amplitude. Amplitude is the height of the wave.
The distance between the crest of a wave to the rest position of the medium?
The distance between the highest crest and the rest position is the amplitude of the wave
What is the distance between a waves crest and trough?
The amplitude is the distance between the the zero position and the crest or the zero position and the trough so the vertical distance means double the amplitude.
What part of the wave is half the distance between the crest and the trough?
the point of inflection will appear half the distance between the peak and trough of a sinsoidal wave.
Half the vertical distance between the crest and through of a wave is called the?
The vertical distance between a wave's midpoint and its crest or trough is called is peak amplitude. This differentiates this measurement from the vertical distance from a crest to a trough, which is called its peak-to-peak amplitude.
What happens to the distance between the crests when the amplitude is increased?
Nothing happens. Distance between crests is a measure of frequency; amplitude is a measure of the strength, the height of the wave, or auditory volume of the signal.
What is vertical distance between a trough and a crest?
The distance between the crest and trough of a wave is the peak-to-peak amplitude of the wave.
Of What is amplitude a measurement.?
Distance between the peakes and troughs in a waves oscillations.
If the distance between the crest and trough of a wave is 0.6 m what is the waves amplitude?
I hope you are talking about the vertical distance (if the distance you are giving is along the path of the wave there is no answer to your question). The amplitude is 0.6 m
Is amplitude measured from crest to crest?
Nope, Amplitude is the distance between the center line of a wave and the highest or lowest point.
