The first wave that forms when the wind begins to blow across the ocean surface is a <u>capillary wave</u>

The capillary waves represent the initial state of a wave that are produced by vortices in a flat sea. When the winds blow over an ocean, energy is transferred from the wind to the sea. and that produced the waves. They are also presented as ripples.

The capillary waves have a wavelength less than 1.7 cm or 0.68 inches and its speed of 0.2 to 0.3 meter per second.

<h3>What is a capillary wave?</h3>

It is a wave that is travelling along the interface boundary of a fluid and it is influenced by the effect of surface tension and the gravity.

. Determine if approximate cylindrical symmetry holds for the following situations. State why or why not. (a) A 300-cm long copp

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

a) Yes

b) No

Explanation:

In the first case, part a, yes we can say for certainty that cylinderical symmetry holds. Why so? You may ask. This is because from the question, we are told that the length of the rod is 300 cm. And this said length is longer than the distance to the point from the center of the rod, which is 5 cm.

In the second half of the question, I beg to disagree that cylindrical symmetry holds. Again, you may ask why, this is because the length of the rod in this case, is having the same order of magnitude as the distance to the center of the rod. Thus, it is not symmetrical.

g A change in the initial _____ of a projectile changes the range and maximum height of the projectile.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

Velocity.

Explanation:

Projectile motion is characterized as the motion that an object undergoes when it is thrown into the air and it is only exposed to acceleration due to gravity.

As per the question, 'any change in the initial velocity of the projectile(object having gravity as the only force) would lead to a change in the range as well as the maximum height of the projectile.' To illustrate numerically:

Horizontal range: As per expression:

R= ( $u^{2}$ *sin2θ)/g

the range depending on the square of the initial velocity.

Maximum height: As per expression:

H= ( $u^{2}$ * $sin^{2}$ θ )/2g

the maximum distance also depends upon square of the initial velocity.

Lenz's Law: A coil lies flat on a tabletop in a region where the magnetic field vector points straight up. The magnetic field va

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic field is straight up. It is reducing . As per Lenz's law , direction of induced current is such that it opposes the reason which creates it . magnetic field in upper direction is reducing . So current will be such that magnetic field produced by it increases magnetic field in upper direction . In other words , induced current should create magnetic field in upward direction. It is possible when direction of induced current is anti - clockwise, when seen from above.

A space station in the shape of a 100 m-diameter (50m radius) wheel is spinning so as to impart a linear tangential speed of 22.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

artificial gravity a1 = 1 g

artificial gravity a2 = 2 g

diameter = 100 m

radius r= 50 m

speed v1 = 22.1 m/s

solution

As acceleration is ∝ v²

so we can say

$\frac{a2}{a1} = \frac{v2}{v1}$ .....................1

put here value

$\frac{2}{1} = \frac{v2}{22.1}$

solve it

v2 = $\sqrt{2 }$ × 22.1

v2 = 31.25 m/s

so correct option is b. 31.3 m/s
