What is one way to increase the amplitude if a wave in a medium?

Why caring a body and moving with it is not a work done<br><br> Why :

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Work done on an object is equal to

FDcos(angle).

So, naturally, if you lift a book from the floor on top of the table you do work on it since you are applying a force through a distance.

However, I often see the example of carrying a book through a horizontal distance is not work. The reasoning given is this: The force you apply is in the vertical distance, countering gravity and thus not in the direction of motion.

But surely you must be applying a force (and thus work) in the horizontal direction as the book would stop due to air friction if not for your fingers?

Is applying a force through a distance only work if causes an acceleration? That wouldn't make sense in my mind. If you are dragging a sled through snow, you are still doing work on it, since the force is in the direction of motion. This goes even if velocity is constant due to friction.

An alarm clock has a resistance of 14,000 ohms and is plugged into a 120-volt outlet. How much power does the clock use?

yan [13]

Power used by the clock=1.03 W

Explanation:

resistance= 14000 ohm

voltage=120 V

The formula for the power is given by

$P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}$
