Question

to get a more intense workout, maya needs to transfer more energy to the battle ropes. one way maya does this is by moving her arms farther up and down to make the waves in the ropes taller. in this graph, the blue line models a wave maya created with a battle rope earlier in her workout. the orange line models a wave maya creates by moving her arms farther up and down. describe what happens when maya moves her arms farther up and down. complete the sentence. maya transfers more energy to the rope and dropdown the dropdown of the wave.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the wave graphs

The blue and orange waves have the same horizontal length (wavelength) as they repeat at the same intervals (e.g., from 0 to 10, 10 to 20). But the orange wave (moving arms farther) has a greater vertical extent (from -2 to 2) compared to blue (from -1 to 1).

Step2: Relate to wave properties

The vertical extent of a wave is its amplitude. A larger amplitude means more energy (since energy of a wave is related to amplitude squared). So moving arms farther increases amplitude.

Answer:

Maya transfers more energy to the rope and increases the amplitude of the wave.
