Where coastal rock is softer, waves erode the land faster

Physics

Answer:

Headlands and bays are created where there are bands of hard and soft rock which meet the coastline at right angles. Softer rock is eroded more quickly and erodes backwards to form bays (which may have beaches). The harder rocks are more resistant to erosion and jut out into the sea to form exposed headlands

Answer:

Approximately $71\%$ .

Explanation:

The formula for the kinetic energy $\rm KE$ of an object is:

$\displaystyle \mathrm{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^2$ ,

where

$m$ is the mass of that object, and
$v$ is the speed of that object.

Important: Joule ( $\rm J$ ) is the standard unit for energy. The formula for $\rm KE$ requires two inputs: mass and speed. The standard unit of mass is $\rm kg$ while the standard unit for speed is $\rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . If both inputs are in standard units, then the output (kinetic energy) will also be in the standard unit (that is: joules,

Convert the unit of the arrow's mass to standard unit:

$m = 63\; \rm g = 0.063\; \rm kg$ .

Initial $\rm KE$ of this arrow:

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{KE} &= \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.063\; \rm kg \times \left(\rm 28 \; m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 \\ &\approx 24.696\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

That's the same as the energy output of this bow. Hence, the efficiency of energy transfer will be:

$\displaystyle \frac{24.696\; \rm J}{34.8\; \rm J} \times 100\% \approx 71\%$ .

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

$x = 30cos\frac{\pi}{6}t$

$y = 30sin\frac{\pi}{6}t + 45$

Explanation:

1 full revolution is $2\pi.$ let \theta be the angle of Ron's position.

At t = 0. $\theta = 0$

one full revolution occurs in 12 sec, so his angle at t time is

$\theta =2\pi \frac{t}{12} = \frac{\pi}{6}t$

r is radius of circle and it is given as

$x = rcos\theta$

$y = rsin\theta$

for r = 30 sec

$x = 30cos\frac{\pi}{6}t$

$y = 30sin\frac{\pi}{6}t$

however, that is centered at (0,0) and the positioned at time t = 0 is (30,0). it is need to shift so that the start position is (30,45). it can be done by adding to y

$x = 30cos\frac{\pi}{6}t$

$y = 30sin\frac{\pi}{6}t + 45$

ira [324]

Answer:

1.t=-1.96sec

2.H=4.8m

3.T=1.96sec

4.R=19.2m

Explanation:

u=9.8,t=?,sin theta=1

using formula t=2usintheta/g

t=2x9.8x1=19.6/10

t=1.96seconds

using formula H=u(squared)sin(squared)theta/2g

H=9.8(squared)x1(squared)/2x10

H=96x1/20

H=96/20

H=4.8m

using formula T=2usintheta/g

T=2x9.8x1/10

T=19.6/10

T=1.96sec

using the formula R=u(squared)sin2theta/g

R=9.8(squared)x2/10

R=96x2/10

R=192.08/10

R=19.2

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The second engine with no cars will accelerate more.

Explanation:

Since the engines are identical so they hacve the same mass. The first engine has 10 cars attached which adds more mass to it whereas second engine has no cars attached.

Therefore second engine is lighter in mass than the first one.

<u>We know from the Newton's second law of motion:</u>
