No, the waves ahead of the generator tend to have a longer wavelength than those behind it. This is because the waves in front get compressed, leading to a higher frequency and shorter wavelength behind the moving source.

How do waves change as they approach The?

Swell "feels" bottom (half the wavelength), circular water particles change to flattened eclipses. Wavelength slows down, but period remains the same, wave becomes too high for its wavelength. Crest moves ahead of the base b/c of a 3:4 ratio of wave height to water depth and breaks.


Why should you drive a car a greater distance ahead of a truck than behind it?

Because a truck is heavier than your car, it takes longer to stop than you do. If you drive closely ahead of a truck you are asking for trouble. If you have to stop suddenly, there is no way they are going to be able to stop as quickly as you, even if they see you stop. A truck may also roll right over you instead of just rear-ending you, and flatten your car like a pancake. Moral of the story - keep a safe distance from trucks!


When a coin is tossed in moving elevator?

When a coin is tossed in a moving elevator, its trajectory will be affected by both the acceleration of the elevator and gravity. If the elevator is moving upward, the coin will appear to fall back slightly behind the person who threw it. If the elevator is moving downward, the coin will land slightly ahead of the person who threw it.
