Answer:

When the depth is less than 0.5 m

Explanation:

Waves will begin to touch bottom when depth of the water is less than 1/20 of the wavelength. This type of wave is known as a shallow wave.

wavelength = 10 m

It will begin to touch bottom when its depth is less than

1/20 x 10 = 0.5 m

A 500 kilogram roller coaster starts from rest at the top of an 80 meter hill.What was its speed at the bottom at the hill?

GarryVolchara [31]

m = mass of the roller coaster = 500 kg

h = height of the hill = 80 m

v = speed of the roller coaster at the bottom of the hill = ?

using conservation of energy

kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill = potential energy at the top of hill

(0.5) m v² = m g h

(0.5) v² = g h

inserting the values

(0.5) v² = (9.8) (80)

v = 39.6 m/s

hence the speed at the bottom comes out to be 39.6 m/s

Two small identical conducting spheres are suspended near each other on thin insulating threads of equal length. They are both c

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is given that initially sphere has different charges and momentarily brought in contact with each other.

When the spheres are touched then charge is equally redistributed among spheres such that now they possess the equal amount of charges.

When they are suspended from the thread their separation increases compared to previous situation because now the value of force increases because of the change in the product of charges.

For example, Suppose initially they possess 15 C and 17 C charge and after redistribution they both possess 16 C of charge.

Product of charges $=15\times 17=255$

Final Product of charges $=16\times 16=256$

As force depends upon the Product of the charges so there will be more repulsive force.
