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:

(c) The decrease in speed as the wave approaches the shore.

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.

What is friction in physics?
Triss [41]

Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object. You will find friction everywhere that objects come into contact with each other. The force acts in the opposite direction to the way an object wants to slide.

Two astronauts on opposite ends of a spaceship are comparing lunches. One has an apple, the other has an orange. They decide to
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall consider direction towards left as positive Let the required velocity be v and let v makes an angle φ

Applying law of conservation of momentum along direction of original motion

m₁ v₁  - m₂ v₂ = m₂v₃ - m₁ v₄

0.132 x 1.25 - .143 x 1.14 = 1.03 cos43 x .143 - v cos θ

v cos θ = .8

Applying law of conservation of momentum along direction perpendicular to direction of original motion

1.03 sin 43 x .143 = .132 x v sinθ

v sinθ = .76

squaring and adding

v² = .76 ² + .8²

v = 1.1 m /s

Tan θ = .76 / .8

θ = 44°
