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

1 answer:

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 :)

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

100 m/s

Explanation:

Mass the mass of Bond's boat is m₁. His enemy's boat is twice the mass of Bond's i.e. m₂ = 2 m₁

Initial speed of Bond's boat is 0 as it won't start and remains stationary in the water. The initial speed of enemy's boat is 50 m/s. After the collision, enemy boat is completely stationary. Let v₁ is speed of bond's boat.

It is the concept of the conservation of momentum. It remains conserved. So,

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$
