What is the cause of most waves and how can this change waves' characteristics?

Physics

There are three main factors that affect wave formation: wind velocity, fetch, and duration.

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.

To answer this you must first know the definition of a wave. A wave is an oscollation (something that goes back and forth repeatedly) in a medium. A medium is something that the wave travels through, for example, the sound that we hear travels through air, that's to say air is the medium. The cause of a wave is usually caused by introducing energy into a medium. for example, if you shake an electron you introduce energy into the electromagnetic medium. Or if you smack your hands together you introduce energy into the air medium. The energy you introduced travels through the medium. After you shook the electron you gave the electromagnetic medium energy.

Hope it helped

Answer: D. places where the magnetic field strength is either greater or less than the expected strength.

Explanation:

Magnetic anomaly refers to the change in the magnitude of the magnetic field of the Eatth with respect to the location's expected value.

Magnetic anomalies are places where the magnetic field strength is either greater or less than the expected strength. Therefore, the correct option is D.

A spring stretches 0.150 m when a 0.30 kg mass is hung from it. The spring is then stretched an additional 0.100 m from this equ
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

a)  k=19.6N/m

b)  V_m=0.81m/s

c)  a_m=6.561m/s^2

d)  K.E=0.096J

e)  T=0.78sec &F=1.29sec

f)   mx'' + kx' =0

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Stretch Length L=0.150m

Mass m=0.30kg

Total stretch lengthL_t=0.150+0.100=>0.25

a)

Generally the equation for Force F on the spring is mathematically given by

F=-km\\\\k=F/m\\\\k=\frac{m*g}{x}\\\\k=\frac{0.30*9.8}{0.15}

k=19.6N/m

b)Generally the equation for Max Velocity of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

V_m=A\omega

Where

A=Amplitude

A=0.100m

And

\omega=angulat Velocity\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{19.6}{0.3}}\\\\\omega=8.1rad/s

Therefore

V_m=A\omega\\\\V_m=8.1*0.1

V_m=0.81m/s

c)

Generally the equation for Max Acceleration of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

a_m=\omega^2A

a_m=8.1^2*0.1

a_m=6.561m/s^2

d)

Generally the equation for Total mechanical energy of Mass on the spring is mathematically given by

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E=\frac{1}{2}*0.3*0.8^2

K.E=0.096J

e)

Generally the equation for  the period T is mathematically given by

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

T=\frac{2*3.142}{8.1}

T=0.78sec

Generally the equation for  the Frequency is mathematically given by

F=\frac{1}{T}

F=1.29sec

f)

Generally the Equation of time-dependent vertical position of the mass is mathematically given by

mx'' + kx' =0

Where

'= signify order of differentiation

For a vertical spring-mass oscillator that is moving up and down, which of the following statements are true? (more than one sta
omeli [17]

Answer:

At the lowest point in the oscillation, the momentum is zero.

At the lowest point in the oscillation, mg < ks_s

Explanation:

Since spring block system is performing to and fro motion along straight line

So here we can say at the lowest position of its path the velocity will become zero.

So we can say that momentum of the spring block system is given as

P = mv

P = 0

Also we know that after reaching the lowest point the block will again go up towards its mean position

So at the lowest point of the spring block system the block will move upwards again

So this will accelerate upwards hence

F_{spring} > mg

Ks > mg

Tasya [4]

Answer:

C. Fill two identical pots with equal volumes of salt water and tap water and use a stopwatch to determine the time it takes each pot to boil.

Explanation:

<u>A) is incorrect</u> because Peter should have the same testing environment for both of his experiments.

He should choose the same method of boiling the salt water and tap water because the stovetop and the microwave could also affect the results and make them unreliable.

<u>B) is incorrect</u> because Peter should not estimate the time it takes the salt water and tap water to boil.

Peter should measure and record the amount of time that it takes these substances to boil in order to have an accurate, valid experimental thesis.

<u>C) is correct</u> because Peter uses the same volume of salt water and tap water, fills them into two identical pots, and uses a stopwatch to determine the amount of time it takes each pot to boil.

The stopwatch makes the experiment more valid and accurate compared to the previous methods, and the identical pots and amounts of water help this experiment become even more precise.

<u>D) is incorrect</u> because the variables in the experiment are not controlled amounts and will therefore produce an inaccurate and invalid experiment.
