Hurricane sandy produced some of the greatest destruction along the new jersey coast in communities situated along narrow strips

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.

What is the answer?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

6.26 m/s

Explanation:

Pretty slow.... the PE (Potential Energy) at 2m will be converted to KE (Kinetic Energy) at the bottom of the track (neglecting friction)

PE    =   KE

mgh = 1/2 mv^2     divide both sides of the equation by 'm'

gh    = 1/2 v^2             multiply both sides by 2

2 gh = v^2               take sqrt of both sides

v = sqrt ( 2gh) = sqrt ( 2*9.81*2) = 6.26 m/s

Sarah, who has a mass of 55 kg, is riding in a car at 20 m/s. She sees a cat crossing the street and slams on the brakes! Her se
avanturin [10]

Answer:

-2200 N

Explanation:

The change in momentum of Sarah is equal to the impulse, which is the product between the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah and the time during which the force is applied:

\Delta p=I\\m \Delta v = F \Delta t

where

m is the mass

\Delta v is the change in velocity

F is the average force

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

In this problem:, we have:

m = 55 kg is Sarah's mass

\Delta v = 0-20 = -20 m/s  is the change in velocity

\Delta t = 0.5 s  is the duration of the collision

Solving for F, we find the force exerted by the seatbelt on Sarah:

F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(55)(-20)}{0.5}=-2200 N

Where the negative sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to that of Sarah's initial velocity.

The speed of sound in room temperature (20°C) air is 343 m/s; in room temperature helium, it is 1010 m/s. The fundamental freque
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: f = 927.55Hz

Explanation: Since the the tube is open-closed, the length of air and the wavelength of sound passing through the tube is given below

L = λ/4 where λ = wavelength.

speed of sound in air = v = 343m/s.

fundamental frequency of open closed tube = 315Hz

λ = 4L.

v = fλ

343 = 315 * 4L

343 = 1260 * L

L = 343/ 1260

L = 0.27m

In the same tube of length L = 0.27m but different medium ( helium), the speed of sound is 1010m/s.

The length of tube and wavelength are related by the formulae below

L = λ/4, λ=4L

λ = 4 * 0.27

λ = 1.087m.

v = fλ

1010 = f * 1.087

f = 1010/1.807

f = 927.55Hz

1. A kangaroo hops 84 m to the east in 7 seconds.
DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance hopped  = 84m

Displacement  = 84m due east

Time  = 7s

Unknown:

Speed of kangaroo  = ?

Velocity of kangaroo  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem,

    Speed  = \frac{distance}{time }   = \frac{84}{7}  = 12m/s

  Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}   = \frac{84}{7}   = 12m/s due east

1. How does the mass of Jupiter compare to Earth?
sammy [17]

Answer:

1.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. (Image credit: NASA)

The largest planet in the solar system, the gas giant Jupiter is approximately 318 times as massive as Earth. If the mass of all of the other planets in the solar system were combined into one "super planet," Jupiter would still be two and a half times as large.

2.Rotation of Jupiter

[/caption]

Jupiter has the fastest rotation of all the planets in the Solar System, completing one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours.

3.Jupiter, the King of the Planets, is a gas giant, which means that it's made mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, and that it doesn't have a solid surface in the way that rocky planets like Earth do. With a temperature of 130 K (-140 C, -230 F), it's so cold that it gives off most of its energy in the infrared. In fact, Jupiter gives off almost twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. It's able to do this because it has its own internal heat source, powered by the slow gravitational collapse that started when the planet first formed. Astronomers estimate that Jupiter is currently shrinking by almost 2 cm per year
