Wave energy

The first splash of water hits me, a cold rush enlivening my whole body. I thrust my joy against the weight of the sea, and climb on. My wetsuit clad legs dangle in the clear blue water, as I squint at what’s in front of me, looking for the perfect wave. I start paddling, my fingers brushing

One of my favorite places to go is Hilton Head Island. From the smell of the fresh breezy ocean air to feeling the soft sand sifting through my hair. This place is significant to my childhood because I have traveled there for the past eight years, and Hilton Head possesses a great deal of memories for me. When I was younger, my siblings and I decided to wake up at the crack of dawn and make my youngest sister beg our parents to let us get in the pool. They would always say it is too early but

Lab #2: S and P Waves This lab experiment's purpose was to simulate how P and S waves move through the layers of the Earth. The guiding question for this lab was, “How are S and P Waves Different? How do S and P Waves travel differently through the surface of the earth? What can this tell us about what’s inside the earth?” There are two different waves that are found in the Earth during and before an earthquake. P waves, or compressional waves, are the first wave to arrive at a seismic point. They

strolling out to the vast void of nothingness, when my mom exclaimed at me, "Billy, the wave is coming.... Come inside now!" I shouted in despair, "Ok, mom I'm coming!" I rushed as fast as I could, but as I was exploring my own mind, I didn't really know how far I had journeyed. I thought to myself, how much time I had, I wasn't in harm's way. So, I just stood there, staring at the exquisite "Black Wave of Death" well, that's what I like to call it. I stood there, as if nothing were wrong.

Can you imagine being attacked by a shark at the age of only 13? Well Bethany Hamilton who is now 25 did just that and survived a vicious shark attack. Beth was able to recover and overcome her obstacles to become one of the greatest surfers of all time. With great support and determination, Bethany never gave up. On , October 31, 2003, Bethany went out for a morning surf with her best friend and their family. While lying on her surfboard, with her arms dangling in the water

The smell the sea and blood filled my nose, my ears were ringing and my heart was pounding. I felt alive, for the first time in my life, and I was prepared for anything. Our leader, Artemisia I’m sure was feeling the same. I couldn’t believe our leader was a woman, but she was cunning and swift. She was far more intelligent than any man I’ve known, she led her vessel into battle with force and with a plan. Our plan was to fight and win, nothing more. However, in the distance I noticed a vessel

-Abstract: The aim of the experiment was to determine the gravity (g) on the period (T) of oscillation pendulum has a simple harmonic motion (SHM). A stopwatch was used to measure the time taken for 10 complete cycles, which called oscillations. The length of the pendulum was varied for fixed mass and recorded in table 1. The output result for this experiment was agreed with the theory. The graph plotted and got R2=0.99, which was close to the linearity 1. -Introduction: The motion repeats itself

Act I Scene 1 Homework – Graphing a Wave Name: A vibration is a wiggle in time; a wave is a wiggle in space and time. In this exercise, you will explore that connection by transferring the motion of the second hand of a clock (a vibration, even if a slow one), to a wave. Print out the image of a clock and open the spreadsheet called Grapher. You will find both of them in the same item where you found these instructions. Use a metric ruler to measure the displacement of the tip of the

Abstract As industries expand, utilities become more interconnected and the use of electricity rises, power quality becomes essential to insure a smooth industrial process. The main problem that severely affects the power’s quality is the presence of the harmonics, which affects the performance of the system. Some of the problem caused by the harmonics are metal parts’ overheating, increasing noises in motors, decreasing the efficiency of the motors, etc. some corrective methods can be used to reduce

Nathanael Betz Narrative 1 Knutson 18 December 17 Deep Ocean Surfing At 5:30 a.m. My alarm clock buzzed. It was Wednesday. I thought to myself, school doesn't start for another two and a half hours. I suddenly remembered it's one of the most exciting days that I will experience. Both my parents were sleeping. I turned off my alarm and got out of my warm bed. Immediately I put on swimming shorts with no shirt, to top it off a flat brim hat sitting backwards on my head. I walked into the hallway
