Wave A has an amplitude of 3 and wave B has an amplitude of 3 What will happen when the trough of wave A meets the trough of wave B?

Constructive interference which theoretically would result in a 6 amplitude as long as the frequency and wavelength of the 2 waves are the same.

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.
What happens to the amplitude of two waves as they meet?
Depends where. If a peak meets a peak, then the amplitude of that peak will increase. Same with troughs. However if the waves have the same amplitude, and a peak meets a trough, they will cancel out, and you will be left with a dead spot, not affected by the wave.
What is the verticle distance between a wave's crest and trough?
The vertical distance between the peak and trough is 2*Amplitude.
What is the distance from the equilibrium point to the crest or trough?
That's the wave's Amplitude .
What is the vertical distance between the trough and crest of a wave called?
The vertical distance between trough and crest is called the height of the wave. While the crest is the highest point of a wave, the trough is the lowest point.Are you talking about waves? That simply depends on the frequency of the wave; crest and trough are just terms given to sections of waves. The crest is the top of the wave, and the trough is the bottom.It's the amplitude. Like on the drawn parts of a transverse wave. You can look it up on google images.wave hight

The height of a wave crest or depth of a trough is called the amplitude of the wave.

What are four exsamples of constructive forces?
1) Crest of one wave meets the crest of other wave OR Trough of one wave meets the trough of other wave.
What is wave amplitude?
Wave amplitude is the displacement of the wave from equilibrium. Normally it's the distance on the graph from the crest/trough of the to y=0

What is the amplitude a transverse wave?
the amplitude is from rest position to all the way to the crest or trough
What is the amplitude of a transverse wave?
the amplitude is from rest position to all the way to the crest or trough
What is the vertical distance between a crest and a trough?
The distance between the crest and trough of a wave is the peak-to-peak amplitude of the wave.
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.
