Answer:
I want to say your answer is A) an ocean wave approaching the shore at an angle. But not 100% sure. I'm so sorry if it's wrong I really tried to figure it out.
Explanation:
Refraction of waves involves a change in the direction of waves as they pass from one medium to another. Refaction , or the bending of the path of the waves, is accompanied by a change in speed and wavelength of the waves. Thus, if water waves are passing from deep water into shallow water, they will slow down. ( This is what I read on google maybe it'll help you out).
Answer:
If you ring the doorbell and no one opens the door, you'll infer that no one is home rather than continuing to ring the doorbell to an empty house. Being able to understand this and look for another solution is another example of mental flexibility.
Explanation:
C. Volcanoes above subduction zones have lava that is not basaltic.
Answer:
D. 803 lbs
Explanation:
In order to find the compressive stress on all three blocks we first need to find the normal surface area of each:
Surface Area of 1 Block = 3.5 x 3.5
Surface Area of 1 Block = 12.25
Surface Area of all 3 Blocks = A = 3 x 12.25
Area = 36.75
Now, the stress is given by the following formula:
Stress = Force/Area
Stress = 29500 lbs/36.75
Stress = 802.72 lbs
Hence, the correct option will be:
<u>D. 803 lbs</u>
