How are Tomahawks launched from a submarine?

Flight Profile of Tomahawk Missile Tomahawk missiles can be launched from either a standard 21-inch (53-cm) torpedo tube or, on newer submarines, a vertical launch tube. After the missile clears the submarine, a 7-second burst from its rocket boost motor blasts it out of the water.

Do submarines have guns?

US submarines carry a small number of firearms for the officers, senior NCOs and the small number of enlisted sailors whose battle station duties including guarding the vessel and/or its weaponry. These are stored in the ship’s tiny armory and they are rarely withdrawn (it’s a LOT of paperwork if they get used). Yes.

What happens when a wave passes through a single slit?

Diffraction through a single slit. Diffraction also occurs when a wave passes through a gap (or slit) in a barrier. This is shown in the two animations below. The difference between the movies is the size of the gap.

What happens when a wave reaches the bottom of the ocean?

When the water depth decreases to one half of a wave’s wavelength, the wave starts to “feel the bottom”. That means that the deepest water molecules set into circular motion by the wave’s energy run into the seafloor.

How does the slope of the seafloor affect the way waves break?

Describe how the slope of the seafloor controls the way a wave breaks. On a gentle slope, waves begin to feel the bottom far from the shore. The waves grow slowly taller and lean forward, and foam spills down their fronts as they run up onto the beach.

How do waves move sand on a beach?

Explain. Waves can move sand when their energy is in contact with the bottom. Spilling breakers spend the most time and energy dragging across the seabed, so they should be able to push more sand onto the beach. Surging waves hardly interact with the bottom at all, so they will have little effect on offshore sand.
