Wave power

The most memorable vacation I’ve had is when I went to Hawaii. When my parents told me where we were going, I knew it would be my most unique trip. We usually go on a vacation every few years to somewhere that's warm during Minnesota’s winter. Because of Hawaii’s warm climate, It was one of the best choices. Out of the five days we stayed there, one specific day became the crowning moment of the whole trip for me. Even though the trip would be a long eleven hour flight, I knew it would be worth it

Virtual Lab Google PHET and navigate to the waves in a string simulation. Or type in the following web site. http://phet.colorado.edu/simulations/sims.php?sim=Wave_on_a_String Click on Run Now. Adjust the settings on the simulation for zero damping, high tension, manual operation & no end. Wiggle the left end up and down by moving the mouse vertically one time returning to the rest position. 1. Describe the wave. The waves was a pulse, not a periodic wave. The pulse appeared as a hump that travels

vibrations moving in the air they are called traveling longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves allow us to hear. By allowing us to hear, it allows high and low pressure to form called compression and rarefaction. What behaviors do air vibrations cause? They cause a Standing wave. A standing wave is the result of the wave reflecting off the end of the tube and interfering with itself. Vibration inside a tube forms a standing wave. When sound is produced in an instrument by blowing into it, allows

Have you ever gone 20ft in the air and flipped over while tubing with a crazy driver behind the wheel? My favorite thing to do while I’m boating is Wakeboarding. I also love to go tubing (it usually depends on who is driving though). These are my favorite things to do while boating. Because I like boating, I like to go Wakeboarding(complex). I like Wakeboarding because it is just like riding my ripstick, but on water(compound). I love when the water sometimes splashes up in your face, so you can’t

Surfing -- The Environment of Surfing (Part I of II) Surfing has changed since Christian missionaries observed Polynesians in the waves centuries ago. Light, new materials and a variety of board shapes have opened surfing to more people while allowing expert surfers to ride more waves in different ways. In the US, surfers can be found along the Atlantic seaboard and from Alaska to Baja on the Pacific side of the nation (and, of course, Hawaii). Choosing Your Style The first surfboards were heavy

to greatly muffle the noise and vibration generated by the passing commuter trains. According to IIT, the tube muffles the train noise noise from an average 120 dB to about 70-80 dB outside the building, about 70 dB inside the building. Sound waves are caused by disturbances in the air. These disturbances are usually caused by a vibrating object. In the case of the MTCC, the CTA train railroad is right above the MTCC. As the train is traveling along

This past weekend I went back to my home town; Jacksonville, Fl, and visited with some of my old friends from high school. Since we all live so close to the beach we all decided to have a beach day on Saturday. While we were at the beach on Saturday we all decided to rent two paddleboards and try it out. None of us have ever paddled boarded before this just surfed, but we always see people paddle boarding at the beach so we thought it was going to be pretty easy. My friend Michelle and I were the

crawled out of his igloo and glided into the ocean. Swimming like he had never swam before, he sped through to water leaving currents behind him. He caught fish after fish for his first meal of the day. After playing in the water and jumping through the waves, he decided that it was time. Slowly and calmly, he slid himself up onto the land. He could already see other penguins and polar bears taking on the fight of climbing the mountain. As he made his way over to the base of the mountain, his other wildlife

One time I learned something about myself was when I was in California with my family. When I was about 15 years old, I was boogie boarding with my sister. While I was doing this a big wave came in and it pushed me under and I got separated from my family and my sister. I didn’t realize that I got separated from them until I decided to get out. Being separated from your family can be a stressful event but after that I learned many things about myself and how I should react in a situation like that

able to ride a wave that goes on forever. My dad on the other hand resented the idea of surfing behind a boat, as he put it “there is a certain connection that you feel when you have paddled all the way out and you are waiting for a wave to come, and then you feel the wave starting to form.” He is the type of surfer where the connection with the ocean is the most important part of
