When do surface waves reach land​

Physics
2 answers:
Alex_Xolod [135]3 years ago

Answer:

Surface waves are the kind of waves that occur on the surface of the ocean. The reason behind their occurrence is the geological effects, usually in the form of winds in near geographical regions or in that region.

These waves reach the land when the geological winds give a push to the waves and they travel miles and finally hit the land. These waves range in sizes, for small sizes to the the size of tsunami.

Answer with Explanation:

"Surface waves" are also known as <em>"wind-generated waves." </em>Such waves occur on the surface of the water that has a<u> zero parallel shear stress.</u> Their speed upon reaching the land will depend upon the<em> wind blowing over the fluid's surface.</em> So, this means that they could travel several miles before actually reaching the land. They could also come in different sizes, from <em>small ripples</em> to <em>big tsunamis. </em>

The factors that tell the time when the surface waves reach the land are: <em>wind speed, depth of the water, wind duration, the area that is affected by the fetch (width) and the uninterrupted distance of open water.</em>

A uniform electric field has a magnitude 1.80 kV/m and points in the +x direction. (a) What is the electric potential difference
EastWind [94]

Answer:

a)ΔV = 6.48 KV

b)ΔU =18.79 mJ

Explanation:

Given that

E= 1.8 KV/m

a)

We know that

Electric potential difference  ΔV given as

ΔV = E .d

Here

E= 1.8 KV/m

d= 3.6 m

ΔV = E .d

ΔV = 1.8 x 3.6 KV

ΔV = 6.48 KV

b)

Given that

q=+2.90 µC

Change in electric potential energy ΔU given as

ΔU = q .ΔV

\Delta U=2.9\times 10^{-6}\times 6.48\times 10^3\ J

ΔU =18.79 mJ

compare and contrast the medical understanding of death (that you have read about and learned about in this chapter) and the pop
mixer [17]

The medical understanding of death is related to the scientific approach, and the popular understanding is related to the inclusive spiritual and cultural approaches.

<h3 /><h3>What is death for science?</h3>

Death occurs when an individual's cardiorespiratory and brain functions cease due to some factor, thus ending his life.

Popular understanding, on the other hand, is aligned with scientific knowledge, but it is also encompassing cultural and religious teachings, which define topics not proven by science, such as life after death for example.

Therefore, death is a delicate topic for society, and spirituality is the basis found for greater emotional comfort in individuals who suffer significant losses of loved ones.

What’s the potential difference across a 5.0 ohms resistor that carries a current of 5.0A
vivado [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is B-25 V

Explanation:

We apply Ohm's Law, according to which:

V = i x R

V = 5A x 5Ω

V= 25 V

Being V the potential difference whose unit is the VOLT, i the current intensity (Ampere) and R the electrical resistance (ohm)
