The answer is:

Transverse dune

The explanation:

Transverse dune : is abundant barchan dunes It may merge into barchanoid ridges, which then grade into linear .

The transverse dunes is called that because they lie transverse, or across, the wind direction, with the wind blowing perpendicular to the ridge crest.

It is large, very asymmetrical, elongated dune lying at right angles 90° to the prevailing wind direction.

Transverse dunes have a gently sloping windward side and a steeply sloping leeward side.

They general form in areas of sparse vegetation and abundant sand are transverse dunes.

A jet ski accelerates towards a ramp at 2.5 m/s/s for 35 s until it finally flies off the water. Determine the

zlopas [31]

Answer:

1531 m

Explanation:

The motion of the jet ski is an uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find the distance travelled by using the following suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the jet ski in this problem,

$a=2.5 m/s^2$

t = 35 s

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:

$d=0+\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(35)^2=1531 m$
