People often live on barrier island even though there not permanent why aren't they permanent

Physics

Arlecino [84]3 years ago

They are dynamic, with winds and waves constantly reworking and moving the barrier island sand.

Changes in sea level also affect these islands.

Most scientists agree that sea level has been gradually rising over the last thousand years, and this rise could be accelerating today due to global warming.

Rising sea level causes existing islands to migrate shoreward.

Answer:

59.18 kg

Explanation:

use f=ma

f= 580 N

a = 9.8 m/s 2

weigh(m) doesn't change only force(F) changes

Why is it that the two possible faults with inductors are short circuit and open circuit?
lukranit [14]
These are the most common type of faults not just inductors but also with other elements too like resistors,transformers, generators etc.
open circuit fault means the flow of current is disrupted some how in the circuit and the circuit stops operating. and for short circuit fault the current in the system will be pretty high and this short circuit current or fault current will always run back to the fault location, if the inductor got short circuited somehow then the fault current will only run through it because it will then provide a very low impedence path

An electron is released form rest in a region of space where a uniform electric field is present. Joanna claims that its kinetic
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).

It will move towards a point  with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:

⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)

As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.
