Which amplitude of the following longitudinal waves has the greatest energy?

amplitude = 10 cm; wavelength = 6 cm; period = 4 seconds

Answer: A longitudinal wave has the greatest energy for amplitude 10 cm.

Explanation:

We know that,

The energy is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude.

E \propto a^2

(I). Amplitude = 10

then, the energy will be

E = 100

(II). Amplitude = 6

then, the energy will be

E = 36

(II). Amplitude = 4

then, the energy will be

E = 16

Hence,  A longitudinal wave has the greatest energy for amplitude 10 cm.

Suppose you lived in a pre-industrial society and needed to lift a heavy (20 kg) block a height of 5 m and had two choices for h
igomit [66]
Let's break the question into two parts:

1) The force needed in Ramp scenario.
2) The effort force needed in the lever scenario.

1. Ramp Scenario: 
In an incline, the only component of cart's weight(mg) that is in the direction of motion is mgsin \alpha. Therefore the effort force in this case must be equal or greater than mgsin \alpha.

Now we need to find \alpha. \alpha is the angle between the incline of the ramp and the ground. 

Since the height is 5m and the length of the ramp is 8m, sin \alpha would be 5/8 or 0.625. Now that you have sin \alpha, mutiple it with mg.

=> m*g*sin \alpha  = 20 * 10 * 5 / 8. (Taking g = 10 m/s² for simplicity) = 125N
Therefore, the minimum Effort force you would require in this case is 125N.

2. Lever Scenario:
Just apply "moment action" in this case, which is:
F_{e}  d_{e}  = F_{r}  d_{r}

F_{e} = ?

F_{r} = mg = 20 * 10 = 200N
d_{e} = 10m
d_{r} = 1m


Plug-in the values in the above equation:
F_{e} = 200/10= 20N


As 20N << 125N, the best choice is to use lever.

a tractor pulls a wagon from rest with a constant force of 700 N eventually giving the wagon a speed of 20 km/h. how much work i
Semenov [28]


Work = Force × distance

We need to calculate distance travelled.

20km/hr = 20,000m / 60min  → 333.3m/ min

333.3 × 3.5 min = 1,166.6 meters travelled

Force = 700 N  and distance = 1,166.6 m

Work done is  700 N × 1,666.6 =  816,620 Nm

Power output = work /time

Power output is 816, 620 Nm / (3.5 × 60sec) →816, 620 / 210 = 3,888.7

Power output is 3,888.7 Watts.

Power output can also be expressed in joules per second so it is also correct to  say work done is 3,888.7 J/s
