One of the most promising forms of obtaining renewable energy is through harnessing the natural energy that is contained by waves emanating to shore from large bodies of water, such as seas or ocean coasts. There are several reasons why this energy is so promising, mainly because it is overwhelmingly abundant throughout our oceans, and because high tides, low tides, and weather patterns that would create large movements of water through natural cycles and storm surges are very predictable in their occurrences. The only question still up in the air about obtaining wave energy is if the world can find a way to make it economically reproducible and worthwhile. This mainly depends on the development of efficient technology and design in research…
Musical Notes Can Count Jerri Pineda Abstract— The development of mathematics involves early connections with music and the basic physics of sound. Mathematics is present in the natural occurrence of the ratios and intervals found in music and modern tuning systems. As people age, their hearing becomes dull and require change in the music ratio and interval to hear the same tune as when young. In like manner, the interval increases until a perfect pitch is heard. In this paper we will examine…
Vibration Experiment Preface The mechanical vibration (Mechanical Vibration) is Oscillations (Periodic Motion) or random (Random Motion) of the mass of the mechanical system versus a balanced static system, the mechanical vibrations caused by mechanical systems (Structure or equipment), which is in a state of static equilibrium is disturbed by an external force. Resulting in the exchange of kinetic energy and potential energy between the mass and spring of the system. An example of interference…
When a lens produces an image, the size of it corresponds to the focal length of the lens. The smaller the focal length, the smaller the image and the longer the focal length the bigger the image. How bright an image may be solely depends on the amount of light collected by the objective lens. How much light can be collected corresponds to the area of the objective lens. So the bigger the objective lens, the more light can be collected. If you want to increase the light gathering power by 4, you…
light blue sky. It is full of sand , animals, and people in Myrtle Beach. People wear bathing suits that have bright designs on them. Girls wear either two pieces or one suit with no shoes , only their wiggly toes. Boys wear only bottoms to show off their body figures. The sand is all over the beach wear people have their exciting moments. I enjoy hearing the chirping birds fly and dogs barking while walking in Myrtle Beach. Kids yelling and talking to their friends and others are talking in…
The Wave is all about types, and Robert Billings is no exception; he's the school loser, to use the novel's rather cruel terminology. Other students in the school are afraid to ruin their own image by hanging out with the “class creep”. Ben Ross thinks that part of his problem is living in the shadow of his ultra-popular brother, who used to attend Gordon High School. When the Wave finally comes along, Robert seizes the opportunity to make a change, but things get even worse. Although some might…
This year when I went to Ocean City me, my grandparents, my aunt and my cousins Bella, Nic, and Sophia. Most of the time at the beach we were playing in the sand and the shallow water. Then I and my cousin Nic decided to ride the waves with tubes. I got a little to far out and my aunt called for me to come closer as I was swimming back I was facing shore as I was almost where my aunt wanted me my cousin Nic screamed: "Ciana look out". As he said look I turned around and about a fifteen-foot wave…
liquid or gas. Sound travels in longitudinal waves. There is also a vibration that starts on an object, and this causes a vibration on all the molecules. When these molecules vibrate, they cause all of the other surrounding molecules to vibrate. This vibration will spread from molecule to molecule causing sound to travel. 1. What is a wave? A wave is a chain of vibrating molecules. In general, a wave transfers energy from one place to another. 2. Can sound move through outer space? There is…
Layne Beachley is an Australian, female surfing legend. She was the Champion of the Women's Association of Surfing Professionals from 1998 to 2006. Layne is not only a famous female surfer internationally but she also was the first woman to take part in a senior men's surfing event. Layne has inspired many children and women to surf and achieve their dreams in Australia. This biography includes information about Layne Beachley’s early life, career, achievements, her contributions to Australians,…
time,θ is wave direction, σ is relative frequency, S_tot is the source term total, and c_g represents the propagation velocity. The first term in the left hand side of the equation represents the local rate of change of action density in time. The second and third terms represent propagation of N in geographic space, accounting for shoaling as the group velocity c_g decreases in shallow water. The…
