Answer:
The energy increases by a factor of 1.2.
Explanation:
The energy (E) of an ocean wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude (A).
E ∝ A² or E = kA²
If you have two waves with amplitudes A₁ and A₂, then
[tex]\frac{E_{2} }{E_{1} } = \frac{A_{2}^{2} }{A_{1}^{2} } = (\frac{A_{2} }{A_{1} }})^{2}[/tex]
If A₂ = 1.1A₁, then
[tex]E_{2} = E_{1} \times (\frac{1.1A_{1} }{A_{1} })^{2} = (1.1)^{2} = 1.2[/tex]
The energy increases by a factor of 1.2.
When the amplitude of the ocean wave increases by a factor of 1.1 ; The wave energy will increase by 1.21
The higher the amplitude of a wave the higher the energy produced by the wave therefore we can state that the energy produced by a mechanical wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude
Energy produced ∝ A²
∴ E = kA²
Given that the amplitude ( A ) increases by a factor of 1.1
E = k * ( 1.1 )²
where k is an unknown constant
E = ( 1.1 )² = 1.21
Hence we can conclude that the energy of the wave will increase by a factor of 1.21
