Leah 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 Leah its, 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.

Because air contracts as it cools, the air pressure inside a freezer is typically lower than on the outside. why do ice cubes inside a freezer tend to shrink over time? a. the ice dissolves oxygen from the air, forming a denser crystalline matrix.b. the ice reacts chemically with carbon dioxide in the air, forming gaseous carbon compounds.c. the ice melts, and then the liquid freezes as ice crystals on the bottom of the freezer.d. the ice sublimes, and then the water vapor deposits as ice crystals on the sides of the freezer.

Materials will have different energies associated with the electrons inside them. this is related to how strongly bound they are by their work function. if we sandwich a material with a very low energy between two materials with a high energy, we create a trap for an electron. if this trap is very narrow in one direction in comparison to the others, this is approximately a 1-dimensional box that confines the electron. what is the lowest energy of an electron in the box if the thinnest direction across the materials is 4.81 nm?
