There is a thing called "wave action". In a submarine, you can feel wave action down to about 100 feet or so. Below 100 feet, the wave action is insignificant. The reason is buoyancy. As a wave passes over you, in effect the water gets deeper, there is more over your head, and alternately, as a trough passes over you, the water gets shallower. This alternating change in depth causes you to bob up and down like a cork. This all changes as the water gets shallower. A wave is really a moving pressure front. As the water gets shallower, the speed increases, which is why a wave "breaks" as it approaches a shore line but is invisible further away. The Tsunami in Japan that traveled across the Pacific was invisible until it reached the shallower water off the Pacific Coast where it did significant damage. What was a few INCHES in the middle of the Pacific became several FEET at the shoreline, all because the water went from very deep to very shallow. I was in submarines in the Navy for 21 years of service. Wave action is a very real thing and being at periscope depth in a hurricane is like a roller coaster as the boat gets thrown around.<span>

Many atomic dimensions are expressed in angstroms (A). (1A = 1 x 10-8cm). What is the angstrom equal to in terms of the SI units
Nataly [62]

Answer:

1 Å = 1.0 × 10⁻¹ nm

1 Å = 1.0 × 10² pm

Explanation:

Angstrom is the unit of the length which is equal to one ten-billionth of the metre or 10⁻¹⁰ m. It is represented by the symbol is Å .

Angstrom is not part of SI system of the units, but it is considered as a part of metric system.  

Angstrom is used often in natural sciences as well as technology in order to express the sizes of atoms / molecules, and the lengths of the chemical bonds, etc.

1 Å = 10⁻¹⁰ m

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

1 pm = 10⁻¹² m

So,  

1 Å = 1.0 × 10⁻¹ nm

1 Å = 1.0 × 10² pm

A clam farmer has been keeping records of the water temperature and the number of clams developing from fertilized eggs. The dat
adoni [48]

Answer:

The dependent variable is the number of clams developing from fertilized eggs.

The independent variable is the water temperature

The optimum temperature for clam development is 30 degrees centigrade.

Explanation:

The graph of the number of clams developing from fertilized eggs and water temperature is attached to this answer.

The independent variable is being manipulated in an experiment. As it changes, it produces a corresponding change in the dependent variable.

Here, the water temperature is the independent variable. As it changes, the number of clams developing from fertilized eggs (dependent variable) also changes alongside.

The optimum temperature is the temperature at which the greatest number of clams developing from fertilized eggs is produced. We can see from the graph that this temperature is 30 degrees centigrade.
