What happens to waves near the shore?

Physics
1 answer:
Lady_Fox [76]3 years ago
8 0

Answer As a wave travels across the open ocean, it gains speed. When a wave reaches a shallow coastline, the wave begins to slow down due to the friction caused by the approaching shallow bottom. ... Think of it like driving a car at high speed and then slamming on the breaks. Everything is going to fly to the front.:Waves at the Shoreline: As a wave approaches the shore it slows down from drag on the bottom when water depth is less than half the wavelength (L/2). The waves get closer together and taller. ... Eventually the bottom of the wave slows drastically and the wave topples over as a breaker. hope this helps have a nice night❤️❤️❤️

A student at the top of a building of height h throws ball A straight upward with speed v0 (3 m/s) and throws ball B straight do
Flauer [41]

Answer:same

Explanation:

Given

ball A initial velocity=3 m/s(upward)

Ball B initial velocity=3 m/s (downward)

Acceleration on both the balls will be acceleration due to gravity which will be downward in direction

Both acceleration is equal

For ball A

maximum height reached is h_1=\frac{3^2}{2g}

After that it starts to move downwards

thus ball have to travel a distance of h_1+h(building height)

so ball A final velocity when it reaches the ground is

v_a^2=2g\left ( h_1+h\right )

v_a^2=2g\left ( 0.458+h\right )

v_a=\sqrt{2g\left ( 0.458+h\right )}

For ball b

v_b^2-\left ( 3\right )^2=2g\left ( h\right )

v_b^2=2g\left ( \frac{3^2}{2g}+h\right )

v_b=\sqrt{2g\left ( 0.458+h\right )}

thus v_a=v_b

What determines the precision of a measurement?

a crowbar having the lenght of 1.75 is used to balance a load of 500N if the distance between the fulcrum and the load is 0.5m f
Lemur [1.5K]

The effort applied = 200 N

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Equilibrium :

\tt F_1.d_1=F_2.d_2

Total length = 1.75

The distance between the fulcrum and the load is 0.5 m ⇒ d₁=0.5 m

The distance between the fulcrum and the force applied :

\tt 1.75-0.5=1.25~m\rightarrow d_2=1.25~m

A load of 500N ⇒ F₁=500 N

The force applied :

\tt 500\times 0.5=F_2\times 1.25\\\\F_2=\dfrac{500\times 0.5}{1.25}=200~N

Bob is pulling a 30kg filing cabinet with a force of 200N , but the filing cabinet refuses to move. The coefficient of static fr
vredina [299]

Answer:

2.0\cdot 10^2 N

Explanation:

The cabinet does not move: this means that the net force acting on it is zero.

Along the horizontal direction, we have two forces:

- The push exerted by Bob, F = 200 N, forward

- The frictional force, F_f, which acts in the opposite direction (backward)

Since the net force must be zero, we have:

F-F_f = 0

So solving the equation we can find the magnitude of the friction force:

F_f = F = 200 N=2.0 \cdot 10^2 N
