If a wave has a wave height of 5 meters, in what depth of water would it begin to break?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

6.5 meters

Explanation:

Background Knowledge:

The most familiar example of breaking wave is the breaking of water surface waves on a coastline.

Explanation:

The process of Wave breaking in most of the cases occurs when the amplitude reaches the point that the crest of the wave actually overturns

Factors by which waves are produced:

Different type of waves are produced and varied according to different type of factors. These factors are

Wind direction

Type of swell

Sea floor features

Slope of sea bed

Direct answer of the question:

In general rule, Waves start to break on reaching a water depth of 1.3 times the wave height.

In this question wave height is 5 meters so wave breaks on

5 × 1.3 = 6.5 meters

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Sodium is a silvery-white metal that reacts with chlorine gas, which is a yellow-greenish gas that is toxic. The  reaction gives off a lot of heat. After the reaction, which statement is true about the chemical properties of the product, sodium chloride?

Pure sodium reacts violently and sometimes explosively with water producing sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas and heat

2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

Chlorine is a very poisonous yellow green gas with a sharp odour that was used in gas warfare during WW1

Sodium and chlorine reacts with each other, however, to produce one of the most familiar substance used in cooking and preservation industry today Sodium Chloride or Common salt or table salt in the irreversible equation;

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

Explanation:

It is easy to see why this reaction takes place so readily sodium has one electron in its outermost valence shell while chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell. when sodium atom transfers one electron to chlorine atom forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-) both ions have complete valence shells and are energetically more stable. the reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat and fumes of sodium chloride.

In a reaction observation of the reaction process you will see sodium flares up almost immediately upon reaction with water.

A substance has a boiling point of 78 °C. Which of the following is true about the substance? (5 points) a It will also change f
vovangra [49]

Answer: If a substance has a boiling point of 78^{o}C then it is true that it will also change from a gas to a liquid at 78 °C while the gas loses energy.

Explanation:

The temperature at which vapor pressure of a liquid substance becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure is called boiling point of substance.

At the boiling point, liquid phase and vapor phase remains in equilibrium.

This means that as liquid phase changes into vapor phase and also vapor phase changes into liquid phase at the boiling point.

Thus, we can conclude that if a substance has a boiling point of 78^{o}C then it is true that it will also change from a gas to a liquid at 78 °C while the gas loses energy.
