Hello!

Most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the wind.

Ocean waves are surface waves that move across the surface of the ocean. When wind touches the surface of the water, there is friction in the contact zone. This friction causes a drag effect, that makes wrinkles on the surface of the water. As the wrinkles get bigger, they transform into full-blown waves, and the taller the wave, the more energy it can extract from the wind, making them even bigger and to move longer distances. 

Have a nice day!

Consider the image above and select the answer that best represents the skiers energy.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

I need an image, but if you're talking about Potential and Kinetic energy, I will determine for you:

Explanation:

Potential Energy: stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system.

Kinetic Energy: the form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion.

Therefore, if the skier is on top of the mountain, they would have potential energy since their energy from the ground to the top of the surface is stored. But, if the skier is in motion/mid-air from the top of a mountain, their energy is kinetic (in motion) because their stored energy (potential) is released as they step off of the surface.

An automobile accelerates from rest at 1+ 3* sqrt (t) mph/sec for 9 seconds.
Stels [109]
Writing the acceleration as a function of time:
a(t) = 1 + 3√t

Integrating acceleration, we obtain velocity:
v(t) = t + 2(t)^(3/2) + c;
object at rest so velocity at t = 0 is 0 so c = 0.
v(t) = t + 2(t)^(3/2)

Integrating velocity to obtain an equation for displacement:
d(t) = t²/2 + 4/5 t^(5/2) + c
Applying limits from t = 0 to t = 9
d = 9²/2 + 4/5 9^(5/2)
d = 234.9 m

A car with mass 2.0×10 3 kg traveling east at a speed of 20 m/s collides at an intersection with a2.5×10 3 kg van traveling nort
lys-0071 [83]
When analyzing inelastic collisions, we need to consider the law of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum, p, of the closed system is a constant. In the case of inelastic collisions, the momentum of the combined mass after the collision is equal to the sum of the momentum of each of the initial masses.

p1+p2+...=pf

In our case we only have two masses, which makes our problem fairly simple. Lets plug in the formula for momentum; p=mv.

m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2)vf

To find the velocity of the combined mass we simply rearrange the terms.

vf=m1v1+m2v2m1+m2

Plug in the values given in the problem.

vf=(3.0kg)(1.4m/s)+(2.0kg)(0m/s)03.0kg+2.0kg

vf=.84m/s
