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.

Which nucleus completes the following equation?<br> A. 299 Np<br> B. 20Pa<br> C. 2 Pa<br> D. - Np
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Option D. ²³⁹₉₃Np

Explanation:

Let the unknown be ʸₓA.

Thus, the equation becomes:

²³⁹₉₂U —> ⁰₋₁e + ʸₓA

Next, we shall determine the x, y and A. This can be obtained as follow:

92 = –1 + x

Collect like terms

92 + 1 = x

93 = x

x = 93

239 = 0 + y

239 = y

y = 239

ʸₓA => ²³⁹₉₃A => ²³⁹₉₃Np

Thus, the complete equation is:

²³⁹₉₂U —> ⁰₋₁e + ²³⁹₉₃Np

Because the molecules that move freely begin to compact closer together, with less heat, means less molecular activity.

A stone that is dropped freely from rest traveled half the total height in the last second. with what velocity will it strike th
alexira [117]

Answer:

hellooooo :) ur ans is 33.5 m/s

At time t, the displacement is h/2:

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

h/2 = 0 + ½ gt²

h = gt²

At time t+1, the displacement is h.

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

h = 0 + ½ g (t + 1)²

h = ½ g (t + 1)²

Set equal and solve for t:

gt² = ½ g (t + 1)²

2t² = (t + 1)²

2t² = t² + 2t + 1

t² − 2t = 1

t² − 2t + 1 = 2

(t − 1)² = 2

t − 1 = ±√2

t = 1 ± √2

Since t > 0, t = 1 + √2.  So t+1 = 2 + √2.

At that time, the speed is:

v = at + v₀

v = g (2 + √2) + 0

v = g (2 + √2)

If g = 9.8 m/s², v = 33.5 m/s.
