Answer:

The waves will turn slightly to the <em><u>left .</u></em>

Explanation :

The waves will turn slightly to the left, because the left side of each wave front hits the boundary first and slows down, moving more slowly than the right side until the right side of the wave front reaches the boundary. THis causes the wave to veer slightly to the left.

  Basically the speed of water depends upon depth of the river or the ocean.

the formula is as follows :

            v =  √gxd

           v =  √d               (g is the gravitational acceleration)

As the water waves are more at the deeper end then the shallow end, so during its course to the shallower end, they are slightly deviated toward the normal., hence it will move slightly to the left.

Answer:

The wave turn slightly to the bottom.

Explanation: Because part of the wave travel faster causing the wave to turn.

If the wave is moving from deep to shallow, as the depth approaches 1/2 a wavelength, things start to change - the wave will start to rise vertically and eventually brake. You can imagine the bottom of the wave hitting the sea bottom and slowing down, the frequency will go up, the velocity of the wave will go down.

As a wave moves into shallow water, its orbitals “feel the bottom,” causing it to slow down. This end is in shallower water, so it slows down towards the shore than the slower-moving end in.

Water waves will change direction at a boundary between deep and shallowwater. The waves slow down as they enter the shallow water which causes the wavelengths to shorten.

As waves travel into the denser medium, they slow down and wavelength decreases.Part of the wave travels faster for longer causing the wave to turn.The wave is slower but the wavelength is shorter meaning frequency remains the same.

Which component of a loudspeaker produces sound waves? a solenoid coil a thin membrane a permanent magnet
zimovet [89]

Answer: A thin membrane.

Explanation:

When a sound signal is allowed to pass through the voice coil suspended between permanent magnet, magnetic field will be induced which will cause vibration in the diaphragm - a thin membrane causing disturbance of air in the surrounding of membranes which eventually produce sound waves.

Therefore, we can conclude that a thin membrane of the loud speaker produces sound waves

Problem I Marcella (see warmup problem, above) gets her car moving steadily at 4m/s but suddenly someone stops ahead to assist h
Nady [450]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) KE = (1/2) * m * (v^{2}) = F * d = 14m * 200N = 2800 m/N or 2.8 * 10^{3} m/N

b) 0J and 0m/s (if Marcella stopped after going 14 meters)

c)  Known from part (a) that KE = 2800 J = F1 * d1,

    2800J = F1 * (14m - 1m)  => F1 = 2800J/13m = 215.384 N
