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.

You calculated the density correctly.

When you drop anything into a fluid . . .

-- If the object is MORE dense than the fluid, it sinks.

-- If the object is LESS dense than the fluid, it floats.

Having established that a sound wave corresponds to pressure fluctuations in the medium, what can you conclude about the directi
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

the pressure fluctuation is LONGITUDINAL

Explanation:

Sound waves are an oscillating movement of air particles, this can be analyzed in two different, but equivalent ways, as an air oscillation and with a pressure wave due to these oscillations.

The expression for the wave is

        ΔP = Δo sin (kx - wt)

Therefore, the pressure variation is in the same direction as the displacement variation, consequently the pressure fluctuation is LONGITUDINAL

The effect of gravity on a falling object can be modeled by a ball dropped
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

B. Friction with air also affects the fall of the object.

Explanation:

The limitation of this experimental design is that friction with air also affects the fall of the object.

  • Therefore, it is difficult to measure effect of gravity on falling objects.
  • Air resistance cause friction in the movement of an object falling.
  • Frictional force resists the motion of an object subject to free fall.

Therefore, the experiment will be biased due to the influence of the frictional force.

A solid circular plate has a mass of 0.25 kg and a radius of 0.30 m. It starts rolling from rest at the top of a hill 10 m long
KATRIN_1 [288]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of both <em>kinetic of rolling objects</em> and potential energy and the moment of inertia.

The net height from the point where it begins to roll with an inclination of 30 degrees would be

h=Lsin30

h=10sin30

h=5m

In the case of Inertia would be given by

I = \frac{mR^2}{2}

In general, given an object of mass m, an effective radius k can be defined for an axis through its center of mass, with such a value that its moment of inertia is

I = mk^2

\frac{mR^2}{2}= mk^2

\frac{k^2}{R^2}=\frac{1}{2}

Replacing in Energy conservation Equation we have that

Potential Energy = Kinetic Energy of Rolling Object

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2(1+\frac{k^2}{r^2})

9.8*5=\frac{1}{2}v^2(1+\frac{1}{2})

v^2 (1.5) = 98

v=8.0829m/s

Therefore the correct answer is C.
