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

Physics

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.

<span>The wave refraction disperses the wave energy in quiet water areas and sand is deposited.<span>  </span></span>

Salutations!

<span>You can see lightning before you can hear the thunder. Which is the best explanation for this?

The best explanation for this statement is the transmission of light in air is faster than the transmission of sound in the air. Light is faster than sound, thus you can see the thunder then you can hear the sound.

Hope I helped :D</span>

The ball X has a known position at 3 different times, each 1 second apart. The positions of the ball are (1.8,2.2)m, (4.4,4.8)m,
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the position coordinates given , it appears that the ball moves simultaneously along x and y direction.

Displacement along x direction in one second = 4.4 - 1.8 = 2.6 m

So velocity along x direction V_x = \frac{2.6}{s}

Similarly velocity along y direction V_y(1) =  \frac{2.6}{s}

In the next phase velocity changes both in x and y direction.

velocity in x - direction V_x(2) = [tex]\frac{2}{s}[/tex

Velocity in Y- direction V_y(2) = [tex]\frac{3.1}{s}[/tex

Acceleration in x direction = change of velocity in x direction

= ( 2 - 2.6 ) = -.6 m s⁻²

Acceleration in y direction = ( 3.1 - 2.6 ) = 0.5 m s⁻²

Total acceleration =\sqrt{( -.6 )² + ( .5 )²}

= .78 ms⁻²

A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to one side and then allowed to swin
Goshia [24]

Answer:

(A) 0.63 J  

(B) 0.15 m

Explanation:

length (L) = 0.75 m

mass (m) =0.42 kg

angular speed (ω) = 4 rad/s

To solve the questions (a) and (b) we first need to calculate the rotational inertia of the rod (I)

I = Ic + mh^{2}  

Ic is the rotational inertia of the rod about an axis passing trough its centre of mass and parallel to the rotational axis

h is the horizontal distance between the center of mass and the rotational axis of the rod

I = (\frac{1}{12})(mL^{2} ) + m([tex]\frac{L}{2})^{2}[/tex]

I = (\frac{1}{12})(0.42 x 0.75^{2} ) + ( 0.42 x ([tex]\frac{0.75}{2})^{2}[/tex])

I = 0.07875 kg.m^{2}

(A) rods kinetic energy = 0.5Iω^{2}

  = 0.5 x 0.07875 x 4^{2} = 0.63 J   0.15 m

(B) from the conservation of energy

   initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy + final potential energy

   Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

   at the maximum height velocity = 0 therefore final kinetic energy = 0

   Ki + Ui = Uf

   Ki = Uf - Ui

 Ki =  mg(H-h)

where (H-h) = rise in the center of mass

     0.63 = 0.42 x 9.8 x (H-h)

   (H-h) = 0.15 m
