Question

Transcribed Image Text:3. 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 1.0 s between bobs.
How much kinetic energy is in each outgoing pulse? Assume that the motor works with 100%
efficiency.
