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

of land between the beach and a coastal lagoon to the west. these communities were vulnerable because they were built on low-lying terrane of ________.

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.

You and your friend throw balloons filled with water from the roof of a several story apartment house. You simply drop a balloon
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Height = 53.361 m

Explanation:

There are two balloons being thrown down, one with initial speed (u1) = 0 and the other with initial speed (u2) = 43.12

From the given information we make the following summary

u_{1} = 0m/s

t_{1} = t

u_{2} = 43.12m/s

t_{2} = (t-2.2)s

The distance by the first balloon is

D = u_{1} t_{1}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{1}^2

where

a = 9.8m/s2

Inputting the values

D = (0)t + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\ D = 4.9t^2

The distance traveled by the second balloon

D = u_{2} t_{2}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{2}^2

Inputting the values

D = (43.12)(t-2.2)  + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(t-2.2)^2

simplifying

D = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148

Substituting D of the first balloon into the D of the second balloon and solving

4.9t^2 = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148 \\ 21.56t = 71.148\\ t = 3.3s

Now we know the value of t. We input this into the equation of the first balloon the to get height of the apartment

D = 4.9(3.3)^2\\ D = 53.361 m

A train moving west with an initial velocity of 20 m/s accelerates at 4 m/s' for 10 secon
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Distance of 400m.

Explanation:

Use your kinematics equation to solve for distance (we can use kinematics b/c acceleration is constant).

d = (initial velocity x time) + 1/2 at^2

d = (20 x 10) + 1/2 (4) (10)^2

d = 200 + 200

d = 400 m

In lightning , light is seen first and sound is heard later it is due to
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

option 4

Explanation:

Light's velocity in air ( 3 × 10^8 m/s ) is much greater than sound's velocity in air ( 343 m/s )

Hence due to difference in velocities , during lightning light is seen first & sound is heard later

Answer:

5. dispersion

6. 49.8°

Explanation:

5. Dispersion is the name given to the phenomenon of light of different wavelengths being bent differently. A rainbow is the result of light from a point source (the sun) being spread out by wavelength (color), a nice example of dispersion.

___

6. n = 1.31 is the ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction to the sine of the angle of incidence (for light passing to a medium of n = 1). When the angle of refraction is 90°, the angle of incidence is the "critical angle." So, ...

sin(90°)/sin(critical) = 1.31

critical angle = arcsin(1/1.31) ≈ 49.8°
