Answer:

It is increased

Explanation:

If the amplitude of a transverse wave in a string is increased, then also, the speed of that wave along the string also increases.

In transverse waves, the particles of the medium does move vertically, m either up or down and also moves at right angles to the direction of the wave. It should be noted also, that the wave amplitude of a transverse wave is defined as the difference in height between the crest(high) and the resting position(low).

The highest point particles of the medium reach is often tagged as the crest, while the lowest point is tagged as the resting position. The higher the height of the crests are, the greater the amplitude of the wave will be.

When serving a tennis ball, a player hits the ball when its velocity is zero (at the highest point of a vertical toss). The racq

Lilit [14]

Answer:60 gm

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity of ball $u=0$

Force exerted by racquet $F=540 N$

time period of force $t=5\ ms$

final velocity of ball $v=45\ m/s$

Racquet imparts an impulse to the ball which is given by

$J=F\Delta t=\Delta P$

$J=540\times \Delta t=m(45-0)$

$m=\frac{540\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{45}$

$m=60\ gm$

Atoms are split at power plant to create electricity*

Rudiy27

Answer:

B. Nuclear to Electrical

Explanation:

Atoms are split at power plants to create electricity. The energy conversion in this process is from nuclear to electrical energy.

When atoms are split, nuclear energy is released.
Some part of the mass of the atom is converted to energy.
The nuclear energy released is expressed as heat energy.
This energy is used to heat water in boilers when produces steam that are used to drive the movement of turbines.
This in turn generates electricity.
