Describe how refraction concentrates wave energy so that some parts of a beach erode more.

1 answer:

3 0

Refraction is the bending of the waves which is result of the fact that different parts of the wave reach the water with different speeds because of the angle approaching the shore.

The wave refraction disperses the wave energy in quiet water areas and sand is deposited.

SCALCET8 3.9.018.MI. A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

Explanation:

The ray of light hitting the ground forms a right angled triangle of height H, which is the height of the building and width, D which is the distance of the tip of the shadow from the building.

Also, the height of the man, h which is parallel to H forms a right-angled triangle of width, L which is the length of the shadow.

By similar triangles,

H/D = h/L

L = hD/H

Also, when the man is 4 m from the building, the length of his shadow is L = D - 4

So, D - 4 = hD/H

H(D - 4) = hD

H = hD/(D - 4)

Since h = 2 m and D = 12 m,

H = 2 m × 12 m/(12 m - 4 m)

H = 24 m²/8 m

H = 3 m

Since L = hD/H

and h and H are constant, differentiating L with respect to time, we have

dL/dt = d(hD/H)/dt

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

Now dD/dt = velocity(speed) of man = -1.7 m/s ( negative since he is moving towards the building in the negative x - direction)

Since h = 2 m and H = 3 m,

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

dL/dt = 2 m(-1.7 m/s)/3 m

dL/dt = -3.4/3 m/s

dL/dt = -1.13 m/s

So, the length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

Packages having a mass of 6 kgkg slide down a smooth chute and land horizontally with a speed of 3 m/sm/s on the surface of a co

nalin [4]

Answer:

t = 1.02 s

Explanation:

The computation of the time required is shown below:

The package speed for belt is

= 3 - 1

= 2 m/s

Moreover, the decelerative force would be acted on the block i.e u.m.g

So, the decelerative produced

= 0.2 × 9.81

= 1.962 m/s^2

And, final velocity = 0

v = u - at

here

V = 0 = final velocity

u = 2 m/s

so,

0 = 2 - 1.962 × t

t = 1.02 s

A copper wire 1.0 meter long and with a mass of .0014 kilograms per meter vibrates in two segments when under a tension of 27 Ne

Furkat [3]

Answer:

the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

length of the copper wire, L = 1 m

mass per unit length of the copper wire, μ = 0.0014 kg/m

tension on the wire, T = 27 N

number of segments, n = 2

The frequency of this mode of vibration is calculated as;

$F_n = \frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\F_2 = \frac{2}{2\times 1} \sqrt{\frac{27}{0.0014} }\\\\F_2 = 138.87 \ Hz$

Therefore, the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz

In physics, why would an equation like y=mx+b be plotted as a straight line rather than as a parabola, as is done in math?

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Both Physics and Math

y=mx+b is plotted as straight line where

m=slope of line

b=intercept on Y-axis

whereas Equation of parabola is something like this

$y^2=4ax$

$x^2=4ay$

Math is a tool to solve Physics problems so equations are same in math and physics
