What happens to waves near the shore?

1 answer:

Lady_Fox [76]2 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 6.00-μf parallel-plate capacitor has charges of 40.0 μc on its plates. how much potential energy is stored in this capacitor?

dedylja [7]

Thew energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance $C$ and voltage between the plates $V$ is

$E=\frac{1}{2} CV^2=\frac{1}{2C} Q^2$ .

Substituting numerical value

$E=\frac{1}{2*6*10^{-6}} (40*10^{-6})^2\\ E=133.33\; \mu J$

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m

Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s
