Question

Which example best illustrates the transfer of energy between two waves?

A)A buoy rises in the water as a boat speeds past.B)A basketball rebounds from the backboard during a missed shot.C)An egg that rolls off the counter falls and breaks on the floor.D)A car that rear ends another car causes damage to both vehicles.

Answer 1

A) A buoy rises in the water as a boat speeds past.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passing boat transfers energy in the form of a wave. Other options illustrate other physics concepts like gravity (falling egg) or Newton's law (for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction).
