What of a wave is a measure of the energy it carries

Physics
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago
8 0


The amplitude of a wave is a measure of the energy it carries. The amplitude of a wave is the distance between the midline of a wave and its crest or trough.

Amplitude measures the amount of energy  being transported by a wave. The larger the amplitude, the more the energy that a wave has.

Wave such as water waves have energy. Smaller waves have less energy because they have a smaller amplitude. Tsunamis have very high amplitudes and thus have a huge amount of energy

An average person can reach a maximum height of about 60 cm when jumping straight up from a crouched position. during the jump i
mariarad [96]
1) You can find the velocity with which the jumper leaves the ground by using the formula for the final velocity of an upward vertical motion.

Vf^2 = Vo^2 - 2gd

The data known are: Vf = 0, g = 9.81 m/s^2,   and d = 60 cm = 0.6 m

=> Vo^2 = 2gd = 2*9.81m/s^2 * 0.6 m = .11.772 m^2/s^2 =>

Vo = 3.4 m/s

2) You can obtain the acceleration of the jumper during the jump by using the equivalent formula, Vf^2 = Vo^2 + 2ad

Where, Vf^2 is the velocity with which he leaves the ground (3.4 m/s), Vo is zero because he jumps from the rest, d is the distance that his body rises from knees,which is 50 cm = 0.5 m

Then,  a = Vf^2 / 2d = [3.4m/s]^2 / (2*0.5m) =   11.6 m/s^2

And now, you can find the force exerted by the jumper as:

F = m*a, and if you know his weight, W = m*g => m = W/g

Replace m in F = m*a => F = W*a/g = W*11.6m/s^2 / 9.81 m/s^2 = 0.10 W

F = 0.10 W

Which of the following generally speed up a reaction?
Ugo [173]
There are a number of factors that influence the rate of reaction including the surface area of reactant, the temperature, the presence of catalysts and the chemical activation energy. In general, heating the vessel containing the reaction will speed it up. This is because at increased temperature the molecules have a higher velocity and are more likely to collide, increasing the reaction rate.
