Answer:

Seawalls are made for coastal defense purposes

Explanation:

Seawalls are massive structures which are designed to prevent coastal erosion and other damages due to wave action during huge storms such as hurricanes.

My family used to live near one. It are very satisfying to watch during rain storms, because you can hear the sound of the rain falling on top of it. I also loved watching the waves hit the sea wall then roll back down.

Hope this helps. ( Sorry I go a little carried off)

Seawalls, groins, jetties and other shoreline stabilization structures have had tremendous impacts on our nation's beaches. Shoreline structures are built to alter the effects of ocean waves, currents and sand movement. They are usually built to "protect" buildings that were built on a beach that is losing sand.

A 3.0-kg block starts at rest at the top of a 37° incline, which is 5.0 m long. Its speed when it reaches the bottom is 2.0 m/s.

Mama L [17]

Answer: $f_{r}$ = 16.49N

Explanation: The object is placed on an inclined plane at an angle of 37° thus making it weight have two component,

$W_{x}$ = horizontal component of the weight = mgsinФ

$W_{y}$ = vertical component of weight = mgcosФ

Due to the way the object is positioned, the horizontal component of force will accelerate the object thus acting as an applied force.

by using newton's law of motion, we have that

mgsinФ - $f_{r}$ = ma

where m = mass of object=5kg

a = acceleration= unknown

Ф = angle of inclination = 37°

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 $m/s^{2}$

$f_{r}$ = frictional force = unknown

we need to first get the acceleration before the frictional force which is gotten by using the equation below

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2aS$

where v = final velocity = 2m/s

u = initial velocity = 0m/s (because the object started from rest)

a= unknown

S= distance covered = length of plane = 5m

$2^{2} = 0^{2} + 2*a*5\\\\4= 10 *a\\\\a = \frac{4}{10} \\a = 0.4m/s^{2}$

we slot in a into the equation below to get frictional force

mgsinФ - $f_{r}$ = ma

3 * 9.8 * sin 37 - $f_{r}$ = 3* 0.4

17.9633 - $f_{r}$ = 1.2

$f_{r}$ = 17.9633 - 1.2

$f_{r}$ = 16.49N

A circuit with resistive elements of 220, 100, 57, and 43 produce what total resistance?

Korvikt [17]

The total resistance is 420 ohm.

A circuit with resistive elements of 220, 100, 57, and 43 produce what total resistance

R= 220+ 100+ 57+ 43

= 420 Ω

What is resistance and its types?

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit also known as ohmic resistance or electrical resistance. Ohms are measured as resistance, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). The ratio of the applied voltage to the current through the material is then known as resistance.

What causes resistance?

An electric current flows when electrons move through a conductor, such as a metal wire. The moving electrons can collide with the ions in the metal. This makes it more difficult for the current to flow, and causes resistance.

A transfer of charge is actually a gross movement of

son4ous [18]

A transfer of charge is actually a gross movement of electrons. Charged objects have a normal or "balanced" state. This state is balanced in a sense of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons). When an object has an excess of deficiency of electrons, it will try to regain its balance by releasing or accepting electrons.
