During a rising tide, ocean waves often become larger. if the amplitude of a wave increases by a factor of 1.1, by how much does the energy increase?

1.21 times

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.

Mathematically:

where

E is the energy of the wave

A is its amplitude

In this problem, the amplitude of the wave increases by a factor of 1.1; it means that the new amplitude can be written as

Therefore, this means that the energy of the wave increases by a factor:

Therefore, the energy of the wave increases by a factor 1.21.

the answer is minerals.
