How are a wave's energy and the wave's amplitude related?

Physics
1 answer:
dem82 [27]3 years ago
7 0
Answer:
Energy is proportional to the square of the amplitude

Explanation:
The energy of a certain wave is defined using its magnitude.
The two quantities are related directly. This means that as the amplitude of the wave increases, its energy increases and vice versa.

Energy is directly proportional to the square of the magnitude of the wave. This means that:
If we have new amplitude = 2 * old amplitude
We will have new energy = (2)² * old energy = 4 * old energy

Hope this helps :)

A pendulum has 294 J of potential energy at the highest point of its swing. How much kinetic energy will it have at the bottom o
baherus [9]

Newton's law of conservation states that energy of an isolated system remains a constant. It can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other.


Implying the above law of conservation of energy in the case of pendulum we can conclude that at the bottom of the swing the entire potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Also the potential energy is zero at this point.


Mathematically also potential energy is represented as


Potential energy= mgh


Where m is the mass of the pendulum.


g is the acceleration due to gravity


h is the height from the bottom z the ground.


At the bottom of the swing,the height is zero, hence the potential energy is also zero.


The kinetic energy is represented mathematically as


Kinetic energy= 1/2 mv^2


Where m is the mass of the pendulum


v is the velocity of the pendulum


At the bottom the pendulum has the maximum velocity. Hence the kinetic energy is maximum at the bottom.


Energy can neither be created e destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another. Implying this law and the above explainations we conclude that at the bottom of the pendulum,the potential energy=0 and the kinetic energy=294J as the entire potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom.

How fast much an 816kg Volkswagen travel to have the same momentum as (a) a 2650kg Cadillac going 16.0 km/h? (b) a 9080-kg truck
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

the car's momentum = momentum of the truck

∴

(a) 816 kg × v = 2650 kg × 16.0 km/h

v = (2650 kg × 16.0 km/h) /  816 kg

v = 51.96 km/hr

(b) 816 kg × v = 9080 kg × 16.0 km/h

v = (9080 kg × 16.0 km/h) /  816 kg

v = 178.04 km/hr

A 0.153 kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.700 m/s. It has a head-on col
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

3.1216 m/s.

Explanation:

Given:

M1 = 0.153 kg

v1 = 0.7 m/s

M2 = 0.308 kg

v2 = -2.16 m/s

M1v1 + M2v2 = M1V1 + M2V2

0.153 × 0.7 + 0.308 × -2.16 = 0.153 × V1 + 0.308 × V2

= 0.1071 - 0.66528 = 0.153 × V1 + 0.308 × V2

0.153V1 + 0.308V2 = -0.55818. i

For the velocities,

v1 - v2 = -(V1 - V2)

0.7 - (-2.16) = -(V1 - V2)

-(V1 - V2) = 2.86

V2 - V1 = 2.86. ii

Solving equation i and ii simultaneously,

V1 = 3.1216 m/s

V2 = 0.2616 m/s
