Answer:

C. The decrease in speed as the wave approaches shore.

Explanation:

The waves break when approaching the shore because the depth decreases. Thus, the wave travels more slowly and increases its height. There comes a time when the part of the wave on the surface travels faster than the one that travels under water, the ridge destabilizes and falls against the ground.

Answer:

Explanation:

A tsunami is a series of successive ocean waves usually caused by landslide, earthquake or volcanic eruption. The speed of a tsunami decreases and its height increases as it moves from the deep part of a water body to the shallow part (e.g shore) of the water body. In other words, for a tsunami, the deeper the water, the slower its speed and consequently the higher it grows. Therefore it is safe to say that an increase in the height of a tsunami as it approaches a shore is due to the decrease in speed as the wave approaches the shore.

A rotating object starts from rest at t = 0 s and has a constant angular acceleration. At a time of t = 2.5 s the object has an

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

52 rad

Explanation:

Using

Ф = ω't +1/2αt²................... Equation 1

Where Ф = angular displacement of the object, t = time, ω' = initial angular velocity, α = angular acceleration.

Since the object states from rest, ω' = 0 rad/s.

Therefore,

Ф = 1/2αt²................ Equation 2

make α the subject of the equation

α = 2Ф/t².................. Equation 3

Given: Ф = 13 rad, t = 2.5 s

Substitute into equation 3

α = 2(13)/2.5²

α = 26/2.5

α = 4.16 rad/s².

using equation 2,

Ф = 1/2αt²

Given: t = 5 s, α = 4.16 rad/s²

Substitute into equation 2

Ф = 1/2(4.16)(5²)

Ф = 52 rad.

Explanation:

Question 6:

The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³

The density of silver is 10.5 g/cm³

The density of the substance in Crown A;

Density = mass ÷ volume = $\frac{1930}{100}$ = 19.3 g/cm³

Since the density of gold, given, is 19.3 g/cm³ and the density of the substance in Crown A has a density of 19.3 g/cm³ , then that substance must be gold.

The density of the substance in Crown B;

Density = mass ÷ volume = 1930 ÷ 184 = 10.48913043 g/cm³ ≈ 10.5 g/cm³ (answer rounded up to one decimal place)

Since the density of the substance in Crown B is approximately equal to 10.5 g/cm³ , then that substance is Silver.

The density of substance in Crown C;

Density = mass ÷ volume = 1930g ÷ 150cm³ = 12.86666667 ≈ 12.9 cm³ (answer rounded up to one decimal place)

<h3>The density of the mixture:</h3><h3 />

For 2 cm³ of the mixture, its mass equal 19.3 g + 10.5 g = 29.8 g

∴ for 1 cm³ of the mixture, its mass equal to $\frac{29.8}{2}$ = 14.9 g

Hence the density of the mixture = 14.9 g/cm³ and is not equal to the density of the substance in Crown C.

* Crown C is not made up of a mixture of gold and silver.

Question 7:

An empty masuring cylinder has a mass of 500 g.

Water is poured into measuring cylinder until the liquid level is at the 100 cm³ mark.

The total mass is now 850 g

The mass of water that occupied the 100 cm³ space of the container = total mass - mass of the empty container = 850 g - 500 g = 350 g

Density of the liquid (water) poured into the container = mass ÷ volume = 350 g ÷ 100 cm³ = 3.5g/cm³

Question 8:

A tank filled with water has a volume of 0.02 m³

(a) 1 liter = 0.001 m³

How many liters? = 0.02 m³ ?

Cross multiplying gives:

$\frac{0.02 * 1}{0.001}$ = 20 liters

(b) 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³

0.02 m³ = how many cm³ ?

Cross-multiplying gives;

$\frac{0.02 * 1,000,000}{1}$ = 20,000 cm³

∴ 0.02 m³ of the water = 20,000 cm³ = 20,000 ml

Question 9:

Caliper (a) measurement = 3.2 cm

Caliper (b) measurement = 3 cm

Question 10:

A stone is gently and completely immersed in a liquid of density 1.0 g/cm³
in a displacement can
The mass of liquid which overflow is 20 g

The mass of the liquid which overflow = mass of the stone = 20 g

1 gram of the liquid occupies 1 cm³ of space.

20 g of the liquid will occupy; $\frac{20 * 1}{1}$ = 20 cm³

(a) Since the volume of the water displaced is equal to the volume of the stone.

∴ The volume of the stone = 20 cm³

(b) Mass = density × volume

Density of the stone = 5.0 g/cm³

Volume of the stone = 20 cm³

Mass of the stone = 5 g/cm³ × 20 cm³ = 100 g

A 56.6-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.517 and 0.260,

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of frictional force = μ mg

μ is either static or kinetic friction.

To start the crate moving , static friction is calculated .

a ) To start crate moving , force required = μ mg where μ is coefficient of static friction .

force required =.517 x 56.6 x 9.8 = 286.76 N .

b ) to slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed , force required

= μ mg where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction , where μ is kinetic friction

= .26 x 56.6 x 9.8 = 144.21 N .
