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!

ANTONII [103]

From the information given and if the question is complete then;
Absolute temperature is the temperature in Kelvin
To convert degree Celsius to kelvin we normally add 273
that is Kelvin = deg Celsius + 273
Thus since we have been given that the air was at -70 degrees celcius;
then; - 70° C + 273 = 203 K
Therefore; the absolute temperature is 203 K

A bullet with mass 1.0kg and velocity 180 m/s is brought to rest in 0.02 s by a sandbag.assuming constant acceleration in the sa

kotykmax [81]

Hello
The bullet is moving by uniformly accelerated motion.
The initial velocity is $v_i=180~m/s$ , the final velocity is $v_i=0~m/s$ , and the total time of the motion is $\Delta t=0.02~s$ , so the acceleration is given by
$a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t} = -9000~m/s^2$
where the negative sign means that is a deceleration.
Therefore we can calculate the total distance covered by the bullet in its motion using
$S=v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 180~m/s \cdot 0.02~s + \frac{1}{2}(-9000~m/s^2)(0.02~s)^2=1.8~m$
So, the bullet penetrates the sandbag 1.8 meters.
