Suppose wave pulses in an aquarium are produced by a mechanical motor that moves a bob up and down at the surface. The setup uses a 10-W motor and has a period of 1.9 s between bobs. How much kinetic energy is in each pulse.

    kinetic energy in each pulse = 9.5J

    Explanation:

    The concept used here is that of work, energy and power.

    Power P = Work / Time

    Work = energy in this case

    E = Power x time = Pt

    but Power = 10W and t = 1.9s

    Energy E = 10W x 1.9s = 19J

    Conventionally, overall energy = kinetic + potential

    Hence kinetic energy in each pulse = half of the total energy = 0.5 x 19

    energy = 9.5J
