There are three main factors that affect wave formation: wind velocity, fetch, and duration.
Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.
Answer:
Option B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Velocity of a body = Displacement of the body/Time taken
Displacement and velocity are a vector. Both have direction and magnitude.
Displacement is generally distance with direction.
If we divide distance with time taken we will get speed of the airplane. Speed with direction is called velocity. So we need distance between Houston and Dallas, time taken by plane to travel from Houston to Dallas and direction of displacement from Houston to Dallas.
So we need direction.
Option B is the correct answer.
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
Change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning.
The cart's acceleration is
(0 - 2 m/s) / (0.3 sec)
= ( -2 / 0.3 ) (m/s²) = -(6 and 2/3) m/s² .
Newton's second law of motion says
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .
For this cart: Force = (1.5 kg) x ( - 6-2/3 m/s²)
= ( - 1.5 x 20/3 ) (kg-m/s²)
= - 10 newtons .
The force is negative because it acts opposite to the direction
in which the cart is moving, it causes a negative acceleration,
and it eventually stops the cart.
Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gasses, rock and dust that orbit the sun. When frozen, they are the size of a small town. When a comet's orbit brings it close to the sun, it heats up and spews dust and gasses that form a tail that stretches away from the sun fr millions of miles. There are probably billions of comets orbiting our sun in the Kuiper Belt and even more distant Oort Cloud. Comets have right for its name and had best to orbit the sun in the Kuiper Belt.
