Here is my problem. If I have a wave 200 feet tall starting out a one mile radius, it has a circumference of 6.28 miles. After it has crossed the ocean and has a radius of 3000 miles and a circumference of 18,850 miles, this 200 foot tall wave has increased in volume by a factor (and kinetic energy) of 3000 times. This wave has kinetic energy equivalent to 1/2mv^2. Where did all this kinetic energy gain come from during the transit across the ocean?
Yeah! There is another freeper who understands high school physics! (See 38).
