Answer:

As waves get closer to a beach they decrease in height.

Explanation:

As a wave crest approaches the shoreline, it is usual that one end of the line is closer to the shoreline than the other. The implication of this is that the energy in a wave is also spread over quite a larger area,this in turn reduces the height of the waves. In other words, refraction often makes waves smaller.

Waves are caused by wind. Wave height in the open ocean is determined by three factors. The greater the wind speed the larger the waves. The greater the duration of the wind (or storm) the larger the waves. The greater the fetch (area over which the wind is blowing - size of storm) the larger the waves.

Two cars collide in an intersection. The speed limit in that zone is 30 mph. The car (mass of 1250 kg) was going 17.4 m/s (38.9
drek231 [11]

Answer:

u₂ = 3.7 m/s

Explanation:

Here, we use the law of conservation of momentum, as follows:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\

where,

m₁ = mass of the car = 1250 kg

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2020 kg

u₁ = initial speed of the car before collision = 17.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of the tuck before collision = ?

v₁ = final speed of the car after collision = 6.7 m/s

v₂ = final speed of the truck after collision = 10.3 m/s

Therefore,

(1250\ kg)(17.4\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(u_2)=(1250\ kg)(6.7\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(10.3\ m/s)\\\\(2020\ kg)(u_2) = 8375\ N.s + 20806\ N.s - 21750\ N.s\\\\u_2=\frac{7431\ N.s}{2020\ kg}

<u>u₂ = 3.7 m/s</u>

Which does not apply to unbalanced forces?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Net force = 0

Explanation:

Whenever there is an unbalanced force, it shows that the net force doesn’t = 0 because if net force = 0, then everything force is balanced by another force. If there is an unbalanced force, acceleration will occur in the direction the net force is towards.
