Answer:

This is due to impulse

Explanation:

Impulse equal to mΔv and FΔt

You can set these equal as mΔv = FΔt

When a boxer punches a tissue, it is like punching a cushion or a pillow. The time that the hit takes is much grater than if they were to hit something solid. In addition, the change in velocity of the boxer's arm would be much greater when they hit a punching bag. In this equation, the greater the time, the less force that is needed.

What relationship exists between the amplitude of a wave and amount of disturbance in the water?

guapka [62]

A wave is a result of the disturbance in the equilibrium state. There are two types of wave, transverse and longitudinal. Transverse wave affects amplitude while longitudinal wave affects the frequency of the wave. As for the transverse wave, the magnitude of the perpendicular disturbance of the wave is directly proportional to the amplitude of the wave. The higher the transverse disturbance the higher the amplitude.
