A wave with an amplitude of 1.5 m travels through water with a density of 1000 kg/m³. Calculate the total energy per unit surface area at the crest and trough.
💡 Hint: Use the total energy formula appropriately.
If a water wave has a kinetic energy of 500 J and increases in speed, resulting in a final velocity of 8 m/s, what was the mass of the water that caused this energy?
💡 Hint: Remember to rearrange the kinetic energy formula correctly.
