A bow wave is produced by overlapping circles that form a V, a shock wave is produced by overlapping spheres that form a cone.

How does the V shape of a bow wave depend on the speed of the wave source?
A bow wave refers to a wave or system of waves set up at the bows of a moving ship. The V shape of a bow wave is formed because the wave source is moving much faster than the wave itself.
How does the speed of a wave source and the speed of waves themselves compare when a bow wave is being produced?
A bow wave is produced when the speed of the source exceeds the natural speed of surface waves in the medium (water). This effect is characterised by the disturbance spreading out in a 'V' formation behind the boat.
Which produce a wider bow wave- a slow boat or fast boat?
Slow boat.
What is the difference between rollpitchand yaw?
Roll=for a boat, rocking side to side pitch=for a boat, when the bow goes up&down yaw= for a boat, when the bow gets thrown from side to side
Describe standing waves and how they are formed?
The modes of vibration associated with resonance in extended objects like strings and air columns have characteristic patterns called standing waves. Scroll down to related links and look at "Strings, standing waves and harmonics".

What force is it when a big truck passes you on the highway?
The shock wave all objects make as they push air out of their way to move. A truck has a substantial bow shock you can feel. The air currents you produce as you pass a desk and a piece of paper moves.
How does the phenomenon of interference play a role in the production of bow or shock waves?
Interference will alter the pattern and rate of production of bow or shock waves. Bow waves are formed such as when a circular object plops in water. Shock waves are more linear in creation.
What is the rising water on a ship's bow called?
I believe the term you are looking for is "bow wave."
How do you get the bow in spy island?
After you free the guy that is on top of the building that has all those windows that shock you, he gives you the bow tie.
What is the water called at the front of ship?
Possibly you mean the 'bow wave' - the frothy water thrown up at the bow (front) of the ship.
How does the speed of a wave source and the speed of waves themselves compare when a bow wave is being produced?
A bow wave is produced when the speed of the source exceeds the natural speed of surface waves in the medium (water). This effect is characterised by the disturbance spreading out in a 'V' formation behind the boat.
Why is a bow wave produced when a wave source moves?
Like the Doppler effect, the source of the waves is moving, this time in the same direction as the wave front and therefore catching up to the waves that were produced earlier, resulting in a bunching up effect of waves in front of the source and a spreading out of wave fronts behind the source. Does this look like a bow to you>
What is a wave motion gun?
A wave motion gun is a superweapon first used by the Yamato (Argo in starblazers), which could vaporize an entire fleet. It takes the tachyon energy from the Wave Motion Engine and charges it up in the bow of the Yamato. The energy is released instantly when the trigger is pulled by the remote control in the 1st bridge. After the wave motion gun was first used, enemy ships began copying it or making their own wave motion gun. By 2205, it was standard on all ships in the EDF. (not to be confused with shock cannon)
Which produce a wider bow wave- a slow boat or fast boat?
Slow boat.
Why are they called dickie bows?
The term dickie bow is a slang term for a bow tie, commonly used in the United Kingdom. They are called dickie bows so as to distinguish them from the type of tie that is worn with a shirt.
Is there a difference between violin and bass rosin?
No. Bow rosin is bow rosin.
