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.

If a skier travels at a constant velocity downhill, this means the forces on her are: ................. A. Zero B. Negligible C.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

F = 0

Explanation:

The net force acting on an object is given by the product of mass and acceleration. We know that acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity.

Net force,

F = ma

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}

The skier is traveling at a constant velocity, it means there is no change in velocity i.e. acceleration is equal to 0. Hence, the force on her is 0.

The horizontal bar rises at a constant rate of three hundred mm/s causing peg P to ride in the quarter circular slot. When coord
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Horizontal bar rises with 300 mm/s

Let us take the horizontal component of P be

P_x=rcos\theta

P_y=rsin\theta

where \thetais angle made by horizontal bar with x axis

Velocity at y=150 mm

150=300sin\theta

thus \theta =30^{\circ}

position ofP_x=rcos\theta =300\cdot cos30=300\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

P_x=259.80 mm

P=259.80\hat{i}+150\hat{j}

Velocity at this instant

u_x=-rsin\theta =300\times sin30=-150 mm/s

u_y=rcos\theta =300\times cos30=259.80 mm/s

What is happening if energy input remains constant and voltage remains the same in a circuit, but the current decreases?
DENIUS [597]
<span>Ohm's law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. It states that: Potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current that pass through it. It is expressed as V=IR. The correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The resistance has increased. </span>

In a glider stunt at an air show, a towing airplane (motorized plane pulling the gliders) takes off from a level runway with two
irakobra [83]

Answer:

minimum length of runway is needed for take off 243.16 m

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of glider = 700 kg

Resisting force = 3700 N one one glider

Total resisting force on both glider  = 2 × 3700 N = 7400 N

maximum allowed tension = 12000 N

from the image below, as we consider both gliders as a system

Equation force in x-direction

2ma = T -f

a = T-f / 2m

we substitute

a = (12000 - 7400 ) / (2 × 700 )

a = 4600/1400

a = 3.29 m/s²

Now, let Vf be the final speed and Ui = 0 ( as starts from rest )

Vf² = Ui² + 2as

solve for s

Vf² = 0 + 2as

2as = Vf²

s = Vf² / 2a

given that take of speed for the gliders and the plane is 40 m/s

we substitute

s = (40)² / 2×3.29

s = 1600 / 6.58

s = 243.16 m

Therefore, minimum length of runway is needed for take off 243.16 m
