Wave is a disturbance or energy that propagate through medium from one point to other point
So basically it is a flowing energy that flows into the medium and hence medium particles start oscillating about their mean position to and fro.
This motion of medium particles or this to and fro motion is about their mean position and this will always be cyclic or periodic motion
This means the disturbance or energy continuously flow through the medium such that it will change the position of medium particle and this will be cyclic in order
For an example

so here above equation of wave is a travelling wave in which displacement of medium particle from its mean position is given by "y"
Now we can see that this disturbance depends upon the sine function and it will repeat its same position after every 2 pi time interval as it is cyclic function for this value
Due to this phenomenon of repeatation of its same position we can say that it is disturbance of wave is cyclic.
Answer:
H = 3.9 m
Explanation:
mass (m) = 48 kg
initial velocity (initial speed) (U) = 8.9 m/s
final velocity (V) = 1.6 m/s
acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}
find the height she raised her self to as she crosses the bar (H)
from energy conservation, the change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy
0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mg(H-h)
where h = initial height = 0 since she was on the ground
the equation becomes
0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mgH
0.5 x 48 x (1.6^{2} - [test]8.9^{2}[/tex]) = 48 x 9.8 x H
-1839.6 = 470.4 H (the negative sign indicates a decrease in kinetic energy so we would not be making use of it further)
H = 3.9 m
<u>We are given:</u>
Mass of the Steelhead(m) = 9 kg
Velocity of the Steelhead(v) = 16 m/s
<u>Calculating the Kinetic Energy:</u>
KE = 1/2mv²
replacing the variables
KE = 1/2 * 9 * (16)²
KE = 1152 Joules
