The action that humans can take to reduce wave erosion is to build breakwaters in the ocean.

<h3>What is erosion?</h3>

The term erosion has to do with the washing away of top soil either by water or by wind. The control of erosion is a very important soil conservation effort.

Hence, the action that humans can take to reduce wave erosion is to build breakwaters in the ocean.

For a projectile launched horizontally, which of the following best describes the downward component of a projectile's velocity?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (with constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (equal to the acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction

Here we want to study the downward component of the projectile's velocity. Since the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the vertical velocity is given by:

$v=u+at$

where

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero since the projectile is fired horizontally)

$a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ downward is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

So the equation becomes

$v=gt$

This means that

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Because every second, it increases by $9.8 m/s$ in the downward direction.

A boy can swim 3.0 meter a second in still water while trying to swim directly across a river from west to east, he is pulled by

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Angle: $48.19^o$

Explanation:

<u>Two-Dimension Motion</u>

When the object is moving in one plane, the velocity, acceleration, and displacement are vectors. Apart from the magnitudes, we also need to find the direction, often expressed as an angle respect to some reference.

Our boy can swim at 3 m/s from west to east in still water and the river he's attempting to cross interacts with him at 2 m/s southwards. The boy will move east and south and will reach the other shore at a certain distance to the south from where he started. It happens because there is a vertical component of his velocity that is not compensated.

To compensate for the vertical component of the boy's speed, he only has to swim at a certain angle east of the north (respect to the shoreline). The goal is to make the boy's y component of his velocity equal to the velocity of the river. The vertical component of the boy's velocity is

$v_b\ cos\alpha$

where $v_b$ is the speed of the boy in still water and $\alpha$ is the angle respect to the shoreline. If the river flows at speed $v_s$ , we now set

$v_b\ cos\alpha=v_s$

$\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{v_s}{v_b}=\frac{2}{3}$

$\alpha=48.19^o$

Why is figure 5 an unhelpful visualization tool for this data set? <br><br> Please help!

Paraphin [41]

Explanation:

Because the temperature and the radiation are not correlated, they're not represented as functions of each other, they're represented as independent variables thus using graph 5 you cannot figure out how one affect another
