Betty is sitting on of her surfboard out in the ocean. She is waiting for the perfect wave to come along so she can ride it in to shore. As she waits, she notices that the waves roll by in patterns, or sets. As Betty waits, she counts the number of waves that pass her during a 10-second period; she counts just 1. She estimates that the distance between crests is 6 meters. Betty sees the perfect wave and begins paddling. She pushes herself up, stands on the surfboard and rides the wave all the way in to shore, a distance of about 60 meters. It takes her about 10 seconds to ride the wave in. Use two methods to calculate the speed of the wave based on the information presented. Are they the same? Explain how you got your answers.

No they are not the same.

Explanation:

S=d/t Speed equals distance divided by time. Leah's wave took 10 seconds, and the distance was 6 meters.

6/10=.6

Betty's wave took 10 seconds, but the distance was 60 meters this time.

60/10=6

We know that 6 and .6 are not the same numbers, so we can see that the waves aren't the same.

I hope this helps!!

a.) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
