In 1940, the tacoma narrows bridge across the puget sound collapsed. the bridge was a suspension bridge. the wind blowing through the narrows matched the natural frequency of the bridge. this resulted in a large movement of roadway, which eventually caused the bridge to fail. what characteristic of waves caused the bridge to collapse?

absorption, because the bridge absorbed all the energy of the wind
diffraction, because the wind moved around the bridge, which set the bridge into motion
interference, because constructive interference occurred when the wind frequency matched the natural frequency of the bridge
interference, because destructive interference occurred when the wind frequency matched the natural frequency of the bridge

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to
