Most waves approach the shore at an angle. However, they bend to be nearly parallel to the shore as they approach it because when a wave reaches a beach or coastline, it releases a burst of energy that generates a current, which runs parallel to the shoreline.

  • Most waves approach shore at an angle. As each one arrives, it pushes water along the shore, creating what is known as a longshore current within the surf zone.
  • Waves approach the coast at an angle because of the direction of prevailing wind.
  • The part of the wave in shallow water slows down, while the part of the wave in deeper water moves at the same speed.
  • Thus when wave reaches a beach or coastline, it releases a burst of energy that generates a current, which runs parallel to the shoreline.

A bottle of water at a room temperature of 21.0 C is placed into a refrigerator
fredd [130]

Answer:

B. in both directions until the temperature is equal in the water and the air

Explanation:

When a warm body is in contact with a cool body , there is exchange of heat energy in both sides until there is attainment of equilibrium temperature . At this temperature both the body attains equal temperature . Initially rate of heat radiated by warm body is more than that from cool body , but after attainment of equilibrium , the rate becomes equal to each other . This is called dynamic equilibrium .

Hence option B is correct .

2. Un ciclista que está en reposo comienza a pedalear hasta alcanzar los 16.6km/h en 6 minutos. Calcular la distancia total que
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

s = 5822.28\,m\,(5.822\,km)

Explanation:

La distancia recorrida es la suma de las etapas de aceleración y velocidad constante (Travelled distance is the sum of the acceleration and constant speed stages). La aceleración es (The acceleration is):

a = \frac{4.611\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s}}{360\,s}

a = 0.013\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

La distancia recorrida es (The travelled distance is):

s = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(0.013\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (360\,s)^{2} + \left(4.611\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (1080\,s)

s = 5822.28\,m\,(5.822\,km)
