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

1 answer:

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

A proton is moving at 425 m/s. (a) How much work must be done on it to stop it? (A proton has a mass of 1.67×10−27 kg.) (b) Assu

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

a)1.51*10^-22joules b) 1.89*10^-7m

Explanation:

Work done to stop the proton = the kinetic energy of the proton = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2* 1.67*10^-27* 425*425 = 1.51* 10 ^ -22 joules

b) net force acting to stop the proton = 8.01*10^-16

Work done needed to stop the proton = net force acting opposite the motion * distance

Distance covered = need work done/ net force

Distance = 1.51*10^-22/8.01*10^-16= 1.89*10^-7m

The electrical force on a 2-c charge is 60 n. the electric field where the charge is located is

Kazeer [188]

The electrical force acting on a charge q immersed in an electric field is equal to
$F=qE$
where
q is the charge
E is the strength of the electric field

In our problem, the charge is q=2 C, and the force experienced by it is
F=60 N
so we can re-arrange the previous formula to find the intensity of the electric field at the point where the charge is located:
$E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{60 N}{2 C}=30 N/C$

__________ helps us adapt to our environment. It also generally __________ with age. A. Plasticity . . . decreases B. Developmen

Nana76 [90]

Not sure this is a physics question (probably biology).
Anyway, the correct answer is A):
"Plasticity helps us to adapt to our environment. It also generally decreases with age".
Plasticity is the ability to adapt to the environment. Since this ability is linked with brain functions, and brain functions worsen with age, then plasticity decreases with age.
