He jumped from a very large altitude (about 39 kilometers), at which there was hardly any atmosphere to slow him down.

What is a instrument that use lenses to focus light and film to record an image?

A camera is an instrument that uses lenses to focus light onto film or a digital sensor to record an image. The lenses adjust to allow different amounts of light to reach the image sensor or film plane, creating a focused photograph.


What is it called when big waves turn into foam when the reach the shore?

That phenomenon is called "whitecaps." It occurs when the crest of a wave breaks due to the interaction between the wave and the seafloor as the water becomes shallower near the shore. The breaking wave produces foam and froth as air bubbles are mixed with the water.


When do waves break?

Waves break when they reach shallow water, causing the top of the wave to move faster than the bottom. This difference in speed leads to the wave breaking and collapsing onto itself. Factors such as underwater topography, wave height, and wave steepness can also affect when waves break.


Imagine that you chew a cracker and swallow it what roll does saliva play?

Saliva moistens the cracker making it easier to chew and swallow by breaking down starches into sugars. It also helps with the initial digestion process by starting to break down carbohydrates before they reach the stomach.


How d waves change as hey approach the shore?

As waves approach the shore, they slow down due to friction with the seabed, causing their wavelengths to decrease and their amplitudes to increase. This results in the waves becoming steeper and eventually breaking as they reach shallow water. The energy of the waves is dissipated as they break, creating the surf zone.
