If you know the amplitude of a wave, you know the distance from?

As waves travel, they set up patterns of disturbance. The amplitude of a wave is its maximum disturbance from rest (its undisturbed position). It is important to note that the amplitude is not the distance between the top and bottom of a wave but is always measured from the rest position. This is a common exam mistake.

Explanation:

the first step is making objective observations.

they have to be based on a certain event and can be confirmed by others if it is right or not.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
