A storm surge which is when the winds of the hurricane pull water levels up and cause floods inland
Answer:
a) The rotational inertia when it passes through the midpoints of opposite sides and lies in the plane of the square is 16.8 kg m²
b) I = 50.39 kg m²
c) I = 16.8 kg m²
Explanation:
a) Given data:
m = 0.98 kg
a = 4.14 * 4.14
The moment of inertia is:

For 4 particles:

b) Distance from top left mass = x = a/2
Distance from bottom left mass = x = a/2
Distance from top right mass = x = √5 (a/2)
The total moment of inertia is:

c)

Answer:
The increase in the gravitational potential energy is 29.93 joules.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of the box, m = 2.35 kg
It is lifted from the floor to a tabletop 1.30 m above the floor, h = 1.3 m
We need to find the increase the gravitational potential energy. Initial it will placed at ground i.e. its initial gravitational potential is equal to 0. The increase in the gravitational potential energy is given by :


U = 29.93 Joules
So, the increase in the gravitational potential energy is 29.93 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
(1) A sound wave a mechanical wave because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles. Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum. These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. The answer is(B) it travels in the medium.
(2) An ocean wave is an example of a mechanical transverse wave
The compression is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are crowded together. The rarefaction is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are spread apart. The answer is (C) Compression.
