If you were on the open ocean on a large ship, what steps would you do to determine the height of a wave?

Physics

The first step to take is to check the anemometer to determine the intensity of the wind blowing in the open ocean. The measurement is in terms of knots or nautical miles. Next, we use a Beaufort scale to check what range the knots falls in. Using the scale, we can see what is the height of the wave. The Beaufort scale is used in open oceans only

In the great shopping cart race, two students push on shopping carts. A having twice the mass of B, with the same force applied
Lesechka [4]

K = 1/2 m x v^2

m = mass on the cart

V = velocity imparted to the cart

KA = 1/2 mA x vA^2.......................(1)

KB = 1/2 mB x vB^2........................(2)

Diving equation 1 by equation 2, we get -

KA/KB = mA/mB

= 2

KA = 2 x KB

Option A is correct

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 384km/min

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.

You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:

d=\frac{1,280,000,000km}{37,000}=34,594.59km

You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{34,594.59km}{90min}=384.38\frac{km}{min}\approx384\frac{km}{min}

hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min

What best describes a reference fram?
finlep [7]

Answer:

A reference frame is that frame to which the qualities of an object are related:

For instance - an object may described by - mass, speed, acceleration, size,  etc,

It is important to remember that Newton's Laws of motion do not hold in accelerated reference frames -

Einstein's laws of special relativity are only true in frames that move with contant speed to one another

What two factors determine the energy production of the Hoover Dam
swat32
Mar 28, 2011 · The Hoover Dam generates electricity using hydropower. Hydropower is the power generated by moving water. Dams are often built on a large river, so the water falls down from the top of the dam. At the bottom of the dam, the water rotates a large turbine

Hope this helps :p
