It increases and is perpendicular to the motion of the wave.
Explanation:
- A transverse wave is a wave in which the oscillation occurs in a direction perpendicular to the motion of the wave (example of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves)
- A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the oscillation occurs in a direction parallel to the motion of the wave (example of longitudinal waves are sound waves)
- The amplitude of a wave is defined as the maximum displacement of the wave relative to the equilibrium position, and the energy carried by the wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude:
Therefore, as the amplitude of the wave increases, the energy increases as well.
100 Joules have been used to roll the object up the ramp, but only 90 Joules were actually needed to lift the object, this means that 10 Joules have been wasted in the form of heat due to the friction between the object and the ramp, and this corresponds to so, 10 % of the energy.
Florence Griffith-Joyner recorded a time 10.61 seconds (wind reading +1.2) in the final at the 1988 U.S. Olympic Trials the wind reading for this race is not in doubt, and the performance should be the official IAAF women's 100-m world record
