Answer:

The energy becomes 4 times greater.

Explanation:

We know that the energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude

E ∝ Amplitude^2

Since the original amplitude = 0.5 m

and the new amplitude becomes = 1 m

We are doubling the amplitude. This means that the new energy will be affected by a factor of 4

E_new ∝ (2*Amplitude)^2 =

E_new ∝ 4*(Amplitude)^2

E_new = 4*E

Which is better for prying open a stuck cover from a can of paint- a screwdriver with a thick handle or one with a long handle?

horsena [70]

Stubborn screws would be better with a long handle screw driver because it gives you more torque. A paint can would be better with the thick one because more energy would go the lid as the screwdriver wouldn't bend as much.

Which compound uses the oxidation numbers to write the chemical formula?

pantera1 [17]

Inorganic chemical compounds

Explanation:

Inorganic chemical compounds employ the use of oxidation numbers of atoms to write their chemical formula.

The oxidation number is the formal charge assigned assigned to an atom present in a molecule or formula unit or ion based on some rules.
Knowledge of this number is used in writing the formulae of inorganic compounds.
These compounds forms by the exchange of certain small whole numbers by atoms or groups of atoms.
The combining power usually correspond to the number of electrons usually lost or gained or shared by atoms of elements during chemical combinations or the number of positive or negative charges carried by ions.

For example:

A B

combining power(Valency): X Y

Exchange of valencies Y X

Molecular formula of compound A $_{y}$ Bₓ
