The correct answer to fill in the blank would be:

“a barrier island”

Barrier islands are coastal landforms and a category of dune system that are remarkably even or lumpy areas of sand that was formed by wave and tidal actions that are parallel to the mainland coast. Due to this feature, there are no enough sand blockades to minimize the destruction by Hurricane Sandy.

A transverse wave is traveling through a canal. If the distance between two successive crests is 3.17 m and four crests of the w
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

a. 0.18Hz

b. 0.56m/s

Explanation:

From the question we can deduct the following parameters

The wavelength, λ is define as the distance between two successful crest or trough and from the question we conclude that wavelength is 3.17m.

Also the period of the wave T can be computed as

T=22.6/4

T=5.65secs.

a. To compute the frequency, recall that frequency, F=1/period.

Hence,

F=1/5.65

F=0.18Hz

b. Next we compute the wave speed.

Wave speed=frequency *wavelength

Wave speed =0.18*3.17

Wave speed =0.56m/s

Mass×acceleration of a triangle =force​
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The force acting on a body is always equal to the product of the mass of the body and its acceleration.

Explanation:

The force of a body is defined as the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

According to Newton's second law, wherever there is a change in momentum of the body for an interval of time, there is a force acting on it.

                         F = (mv - mu) / t

                             = m (v -u) /t

                              = m a

Where,

                                 (v - u)/t - is the change in velocity of the body in the interval of time. It is equal to the acceleration of the body.

Hence, the equation for the force for any body becomes, F = m x a

A uniform disk of mass M = 4.9 kg has a radius of 0.12 m and is pivoted so that it rotates freely about its axis. A string wrapp
AlekseyPX

Answer:

(A) 2.4 N-m

(B) 0.035kgm^2

(C) 315.426 rad/sec

(D) 1741.13 J

(E) 725.481 rad

Explanation:

We have given mass of the disk m = 4.9 kg

Radius r = 0.12 m, that is distance = 0.12 m

Force F = 20 N

(a) Torque is equal to product of force and distance

So torque \tau =Fr, here F is force and r is distance

So \tau =20\times 0.12=2.4Nm

(B) Moment of inertia is equal to I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2

So I=\frac{1}{2}\times 4.9\times 0.12^2=0.035kgm^2

Torque is equal to \tau =I\alpha

So angular acceleration \alpha =\frac{\tau }{I}=\frac{2.4}{0.035}=68.571rad/sec^2

(C) As the disk starts from rest

So initial angular speed \omega _{0}=0rad/sec

Time t = 4.6 sec

From first equation of motion we know that \omega =\omega _0+\alpha t

So \omega =0+68.571\times  4.6=315.426rad/sec

(D) Kinetic energy is equal to KE=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.035\times 315.426^2=1741.13J

(E) From second equation of motion

\Theta =\omega _0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2=0\times 4.6+\frac{1}{2}\times 68.571\times 4.6^2=725.481rad
