Is it possible for a wave to lose energy as it moves up?

Ok...well I considered that the tension in the rope may be greater at the top because of the weight of the rope below it, but it would have to be a very large rope for that to make much difference. I also considered that if the rope is connected to the ceiling that may reduce the ability of the...

Homework Statement If a wave is started up a long rope hanging from the ceiling, it will not climb at constant velocity. Why? Will the wave be traveling faster or slower at the top than the bottom? (Hint: Is the tension of the rope a factor?) Homework Equations v=square root...
