Say i drop a 1kg rock into a pond from a height of 2 meters.i want to find out how high the water wave will be. how would i go about this problem?
Water waves form when energy from wind or seismic activity transfers to the water's surface, causing it to ripple and move in a circular motion.
The size and speed of water waves are affected by the strength of the wind, the duration of the wind's force, and the distance over which the wind blows (known as the fetch).
Yes, water waves can travel in any direction, but they are most commonly seen moving in a circular motion away from the disturbance that created them.
A tsunami is a large, powerful wave caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. It can travel at high speeds and have destructive effects, while regular water waves are typically caused by wind and have smaller amplitudes and lower speeds.
Water waves have various practical applications, such as generating renewable energy through wave power, providing a recreational activity for surfing, and facilitating transportation through ships and boats.
