Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that extend out from shore. Longshore drift may also create or destroy entire “barrier islands” along a shoreline.
Force equals mass times acceleration. Or:
F=ma
Plug it in:
5=10a
5/10=(10a)/10
.5m/s²=a
Answer:
- 0.6
Explanation:
Given that angle between normal y axis is 62° so angle between normal
and x axis will be 90- 62 = 28 °. Since incident ray is along x axis , 28 ° will be the angle between incident ray and normal ie it will be angle of incidence
Angle of incidence = 28 °
angle of reflection = 28°
Angle between incident ray and reflected ray = 28 + 28 = 56 °
Angle between x axis and reflected ray = 56 °
x component of reflected ray
= - cos 56 ( it will be towards - ve x axis. )
- 0.6
