<span>Extremely powerful single waves have no effect on ships at sea since the depth of water allows the energy to be distributed over hundreds and thousands of feet. In deep water, the bigger the wave, the faster it moves and the slower the surface changes height. As the wave gets into shallow waters, it slows down and can start to pile up to large heights.</span>

If a builder of mass 75kg climbs a vertical ladder of 25m how much energy has she gained ?
erica [24]
So,

GPE (graviational potential energy) = mass x g x height

GPE is depends on where zero height is defined.  In this situation, we define h = 0 as the initial height.

GPE = 75 \ kg*9.8 \ \frac{m}{s^2}*25 \ m

GPE = 18,375 \frac{kg*m^2}{s^2}

GPE = 18,375 \ joules(J) \ or \ 18.375 \ kilojoules(kJ)

The builder has gained 18.375 kJ of PE.

It is your parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary and you thought it would be special to throw them a surprise party. Your entire fam
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.

How are metal bridges built to cope with changes of temperature?

As the metal expands as does the road bed so neither really effevts those foing over the bridge. as it is hot the metal will expand and so will most tarmac on roads.
