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

A golf ball is hit with an initial velocity of 15 meters per second at an angle of 35 degrees above horizontal. What is the vert

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

8.6 m/s

Explanation:

The components of the initial velocity of the ball can be found by using the equations:

$v_x = v cos \theta\\v_y = v sin \theta$

where

$v_x$ is the horizontal component

$v_y$ is the vertical component

v is the magnitude of the velocity

$\theta$ is the angle above the horizontal

Substituting:

v = 15 m/s

$\theta=35^{\circ}$

We find:

$v_x = (15)(cos 35^{\circ})=12.3 m/s\\v_y = (15)(sin 35^{\circ})=8.6 m/s$
