Big wave surfing

sunset. The air was moist. I was in Maui, Hawaii. Everyone was yelling, screaming, hollering and having fun. Kids were flying their kites. People were eating pizza and icecream. Then suddenly, everything became quiet. Everyone was looking at me. The wave broke the silence as it jumped on me like a tackle in football. I felt like I had the ball because I kept getting tackled by the water! I was wobbling in the water and trying to find a way to get out. I was a squirmy little guy without a life…

vibrations . How sound work is the vibrations emit from whatever has made the sound in what is known as a longitudinal wave.A longitudinal wave is a wave that travels in a single direction. Next how can we hear sound. We can hear sound from a longitudinal wave for example when a tree falls and energy is released vibrations are created and a longitudinal wave is sent out but anyone might not hear the sound. In order for someone to hear the sound somebody would have to be on the other side. Most…

evacuation procedures, even more people's lives would be at risk than in the Illapel earthquake. Examining the Waves Created by the Earthquake The damage caused by the earthquake would happen as a result of the waves the earthquake produces. Earthquakes produce two types of waves: longitudinal waves (often referred to as P-waves) and transverse waves (often called S-waves). Transverse waves cause most of the damage after an earthquake…

primarily based on Sinusoidal waves and how to use and apply this to represent and develop musical notes. In doing so, I had to use a variety of properties of trigonometry for the key aspects in this artifact. Such as, building an instrument and finding out the relationship between sound waves and the sinusoidal representation. Sinusoidal is any graph mainly consisted of either the sine or cosine function. The general formula for Sinusoidal waves is y=Acosfx+C.The height of the wave of this…

The s-wave is wave A. The p-wave is always going to be faster than the s-wave. Wave B starts at the velocity of about 8 km/s and wave A starts at about 4 km/s. Since wave A is moving slower, it is the s-wave. Wave A also reflected off the outer core and wave B refracted. The p-wave is wave B. The p-wave is always going to move faster than the s-wave. Wave B starts at the velocity of about 8 km/s and wave A starts at about 4 km/s. Since wave B is moving faster, it is the p-wave. The…

Elysium Questions 1. What do you think about the above establishing shots of Los Angeles and Elysium? Extreme long shot is used for emphasis the environment of two different place. The Los Angeles in Earth where ever be the civilized town was shown in the ruin town. The extreme long shot gives the picture of devastation; pollution, disease, and homeless. On the other hand, the Elysium was shown in productive place. Elysium is the place for wealth people, there are high-technology building…

A Helmholtz resonator is a rigid container which has an opening to the air surrounding it. A common example of a Helmholtz resonator is a bottle because it has a set volume as well as having an opening which is open to the surrounding air. By considering the Helmholtz resonator as having a neck, such as the neck of a wine bottle, the dynamics of the system may be described. When energy is introduced near the opening of the bottle, for example blowing across it, some of the energy will vibrate…

Introduction The Korean pop culture, commonly referred to as K-pop, has undoubtedly been the center of attention of the teenagers especially in Asia; although lately, it has been moving its way to cross the West too. Joining the trend of Korean music are idol groups, Korean dramas, variety shows, and movies. With its growing popularity, a lot of people are imitating their idols’ fashion sense, hairstyles, and even the products they use. In addition, due to the captivating beat and eye-catching…

My popular culture “obsession” would be Korean popular culture. K-pop is and abbreviation of Korean pop, which is a music genre, originated from South Korea. K-pop can be a phenomenon, however, it can also be a subculture, where Asian pop would be the phenomenon and k-pop is the subculture. My interest began when I first heard K-pop songs while I was buying milk tea. Korean music is different from the music in America. In my opinion, the Korean artists have unique musical and performances styles…

It is important to acknowledge that without the critical state, interesting phenomena cannot occur. The non-critical state is at equilibrium, where Gibb’s free energy is equal to zero, and there are no avalanches. Therefore, the critical state is not at equilibrium, this is only an illusion society sees as a result of the nature of self-organized critical systems. During the intermittent periods between avalanches, society cannot detect any changes, so it is assumed that nothing is happening,…
