The acceleration of a non-linear motion is depicted using a parabola which is a curve. This implies that the velocity is constantly changing and the distance covered by the body is also changing with equal amount of time.

A plot of this will give a parabola. This can be further established using one of the equations of motion below:

x = u + $\frac{1}{2}$ at ²

This is a quadratic function where:

x is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is acceleration

A quadratic function gives a curved line which is a parabola.

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by _____.\

bonufazy [111]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Satellite

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by<u> Satellite</u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The topography of the ocean or the height of the ocean surface relative to a level of no motion provides the information on tides, and the distribution of heat and mass in the Earths's oceans.
<em><u>The ocean topography is measured using satellites altimeter. Satellites use radar altimeters that are specially made to measure the height of the ocean surface. The satellites measure the height of the ocean surface with an accuracy of 3 cm relative to the center of the earth.</u></em>
Satellite altimeter combines precise orbit determination with accurate ranging by a microwave altimeter of ocean distance to the satellite.
