Imagine that your standing on a beach but cannot swim. Your friend encourages you to walk into the surf zone created by incoming

deep-water waves that have a wavelength of 30 meters. Would it be safe to walk out to where the waves are breaking? Explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answer:

It would not be safe to walk out to where waves are breaking due to the effect of rip currents

Explanation:

The water depth in the surf zone is between 5 to 10 meters deep and with a wavelength of 30 meters, the speed of the wave is considerably fast such that control for safety may be difficult

Also the speed of the wave is directly related to the depth of the water which means that where the wave described above is fast as well as the rip current, also the water depth is expected to be considerable for a non swimmer

It is best to seek for sign post regarding safe areas and do not go into the water where there are no lifeguards or marked safe zones.

One of two nonconducting spherical shells of radius a carries a charge Q uniformly distributed over its surface, the other carri
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) The spheres are non conducting , charge will not move on the surface so neutralization of charge by + ve and - ve charge is not possible. Charges will remain intact on them . The electric field inside them will be zero . Electric field outside shell  will not be spherically symmetrical . Lines of force will emanate from the surface of positively charged shell  outwardly oriented  and end at negatively charged shell .

B )

distance between the centres of spherical shell

= 2 a

potential energy of charges

= k q₁ x q₂ / R

= k x - Q x Q / ( 2a )

= - k Q²/ 2a

So work needed to separate them to infinity will be equal to

= k Q²/ 2a

What is the relation between acceleration due to gravity and radius of the earth? ​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

As the earth is an oblate spheroid, its radius near the equator is more than its radius near poles. Since for a source mass, the acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of the earth, it varies with latitude due to the shape of the earth.

Formula: g = GM/r2

Dimensional Formula: M0L1T-2

Values of g in SI: 9.806 ms-2

zhuklara [117]

D. endothermic

Explanation:

Since the chemosynthesis reaction uses up heat and other inorganic compounds to produce food for themselves, the process is endothermic.

  • In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surrounding.
  • The surround will then become colder at the end of the reaction.
  • Since the chemosynthesis reaction uses up heat, it is an endothermic reaction.
  • Exothermic reactions liberates heat to the surrounding.
  • The surrounding becomes hotter at the end of the change.

A chicken is running in a circular path with an angular speed of 1.52 rad/s. How long does it take the chicken to complete one r
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: approximately 4 seconds

Explanation:

1.52 is approximately pi/4

2pi rad is 360°

Pi/4 rad is 90°

So the chicken runs one-fourth of the path in one second so it runs the hole path in four minutes
