When wave interfere is there a loss of energy?
Not necessarily. In some places there is destructive interference, meaning there will be less energy, but in places where there is constructive interference, the amplitude of the wave will be up to twice the amplitude of the individual waves - and the energy up to four times as much.
Differences between vibratory and oscillatory motion?
In vibratory motion, the body doesn't move as a whole.where as in oscillatory motion the body moves on whole .and in vibratory motion the amplitude is less ,where as in the oscillatory motion the amplitude is comparitively larger than the vibratory motion .
How does the loudness or softness of a sound relate to the energy it carries?
Sound has two quantitative qualities that we usually measure and those are amplitude and frequency. So I am asuming you are referring to the loudness and softness as the amplitude quantity. The louder a sound, the more energy it carries. So, a loud sound, using your descriptive terms, has more energy than a soft sound, which has less amplitutde.
What affects the size of a wave?
The strength of its creation less losses in its transmission determines the amplitude at any point.ITS AMPLITUDE.
If two different masses have the same kinetic energy their momenta is?
... different. Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, wherease momentum is proportional to the speed.
Waves with the greater amplitudes carry MORE OR LESS energy than waves with smaller amplitudes?
Wave with higher amplitude carry more energy than wave with lower amplitude. For simple consideration, no amplitude is no wave and thus no energy but just a flat surface of water. Wave with amplitude must have higher energy than the no wave.
How is the energy of a wave relate to its amplitude?
wavelength is the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next. In this diagram, the wavelength is measured from crest to crest, but the wavelength could be measured from trough to trough as well.A wave's amplitude is the maximum distance that a wave vibrates from its resting position. In a transverse wave, this means that the amplitude of the wave is the highest or lowest point. In a longitudinal wave, the amplitude is the maximum distance the wave travels back or forth. The more energy the wave has, the larger the amplitude will be.

What less energy a wave has the smaller its?
If it is a mechanical wave, then the lower amplitude waves would have less energy. If you are talking about electromagnetic waves, then higher frequency waves (shorter wavelength) have more energy, and lower frequency waves have less energy.
How is bulk grain stored and transported now that grain elevators seem to be outdated?
Larger less frequent grain elevators.
What can you say about the amplitude of a wave that produces a soft sound?
Soft sound means less intense. Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude. So amplitude will be less for soft sound.
Differences between vibratory and oscillatory motion?
In vibratory motion, the body doesn't move as a whole.where as in oscillatory motion the body moves on whole .and in vibratory motion the amplitude is less ,where as in the oscillatory motion the amplitude is comparitively larger than the vibratory motion .
What is the significance of surface to volume as it relates to transport?
This applies mainly to ships. With a larger ship, you have less surface-to-volume ratio, thus, less transport costs per kilogram of transported goods.

What affects absolute brightness?
Brightness corresponds to amplitude of waves. Greater amplitude means greater brightness (so lower amplitude means less brightness).
What affects the size of a wave?

What happens to the loudness of a sound if its amplitude decreases?
It is less loud. Frequency affects what we hear as pitch. Amplitude affects volume.
