A wave will "break" because the bottom interferes with its oscillatory motion. Breaking of waves may occur anywhere that the amplitude is sufficient, including in mid-ocean. When waves enter shallow water they break because the motion of water in lower part of the wave nearest the bottom is slowed by friction so that their oscillation is faster than its supporting portion at the bottom. Thus, the wave collapses forward and breaks.

Find a unit vector normal to the plane containing Bold u equals 2 Bold i minus Bold j minus 3 Bold k and Bold v equals negative
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

\hat{w}=\dfrac{\vec{5i+13j-k}}{13.92}

Explanation:

It is given that,

\vec{u}=2i-j-3k

\vec{v}=-3i+j-2k

Taking the cross product of v and v such that,

\vec{w}=u\times v

\vec{w}=(2i-j-3k)\times (-3i+j-2k)

\vec{w}=5i+13j-k

|w|=\sqrt{5^2+13^2(-1)^2}

|w| = 13.92

Let \hat{w} is the unit vector normal to the plane containing u and v. So,

\hat{w}=\dfrac{\vec{w}}{|w|}

\hat{w}=\dfrac{\vec{5i+13j-k}}{13.92}

Hence, this is the required solution.

How is the control group and experimental group different
zzz [600]
The control group is the independent variable and the experimental group is the dependent due to change during the experiment. The experimental group will usually rely on another variable in the experiment for change.

The rate at which light energy is radiated from a source is measured in which of the following units?
Over [174]
The correct option is D.
Lumen is used to quantify the amount of total light energy that a source is putting out in all direction, thus, it refers to luminous output of a light source. Initial lumen refers to the luminosity of a light when it was first turned on; the luminosity is highest at this point.

A boy weighs 40 kilograms. He runs at a velocity of 4 meters per second north. Which is his momentum?
Bogdan [553]
The boy's momentum is 160 kg*m/s north.

The formula of momentum is p = mv, where p is momentum.
p = 40 kg * 4m/s north
p =160 kg*m/s north
